Resource of the Month: Workshop Report
This month we’d like to highlight the Workshop Report from “Building Science to Advance Research in the Microbiology of the Built Environment”.   This report summarizes a small workshop held in May 2014 with the goal “to bring together a group of experts in building science and engineering with a smaller number of microbiologists and microbial ecologists to discuss existing gaps and future opportunities for research on the microbiology of the built environment.”
The Workshop was aimed at prioritizing needs for the future in the field.   A summary of the report can be found in this microBEnet post by Brent Stephens.
