Got this email from them this morning:
Is this worthwhile? Are there researchers in our community that we should be telling about this?

Hello, microbiome pioneers!
Are you a professor, graduate student, or know someone in academia that's interested in the microbiome? Please pass this message along to them!
We're launching an academic consortium to bring together researchers and industry teams with the hope of accelerating scientific understanding of the microbiome.
Get Involved:
http://ubiome.com/pages/academic-consortium
Our Plan:
Highlight exciting projects and get the conversation started at research labs where it may not be happening already.
Why Should You Join?
$100k in research grants (provided in kits) for exceptional proposals, early access to publications, opportunities to speak at conferences, job assistance (for graduate students), and discounts from industry partners (like a complimentary uBiome kit).
FYI: we will never charge for membership in the consortium.
Join today to accelerate groundbreaking microbiome research.
Enjoy your weekend,
Josh @ uBiome
