Looks like there will be a great symposium on the Microbiology of the Built Environment this year. The symposium is organized by Filipa Godoy-Vitorino and Sarah Preheim. Speakers include several Sloan-funded labs (including Maria Dominguez-Bello, James Meadow, and Mark Hernandez) and it looks to cover a wide range of cool topics. Check out the video below:
A quick post here describing a Gizmodo article highlighting some of the Sloan-funded MBE research presented at the recent AAAS Symposium on Microbiomes of the Built Environment. It talks about work by both Mark Hernandez and Amy Pruden on different aspect of plumbing microbiomes.
