“Indoors” appeared as a session title for the first time at the annual meeting of the Ecology Society of America after Brendan Bohannan of the BioBE Center at the University of Oregon and Tom Bruns of BIMERC at the University of California organized a session entitled “The Great Indoors: Recent Advances in the Ecology of …
There will be a session entitled “The Great Indoors: Recent Advances In the Ecology of Built Environments”, at ESA 2012. This session is organized by Tom Bruns (BIMERC) and Brendan Bohannen (BioBE Center).
One of the difficulties working within the microbiology of the built environment is making sure that the relevant information crosses over the boundaries between building science and microbial ecology since those two groups tend to attend different meeting and read different journals. That’s one of the reasons that we’ve worked to hard to sponsor microbiology …

Ten billion bacteria live in a gram of ordinary soil, a mere pinch held between thumb and forefinger. They represent thousands of species, almost none of which are known to science. Into that …
(This is a guest post by David Thaler, who is one of the Sloan-funded investigators working on the microbiology of the built environment. The goal is to spark substantive discussion, so please comment below!) A few thoughts after the Inaugural meeting of Microbiology of the Built Environment Boulder My own opinions on these points are …
The session at the ASM 2012 meeting on “The Great Indoors” seems to have gone well. I will be writing up a more detailed report but here is a quick summary done via “Storify”. ———————– UPDATE February 2019 Storify is no longer in existence. Fortunately we were able to convert the Storify summary …
The American Society for Microbiology meeting is starting tomorrow and there are multiple things related to microbiology of the built environment there. These include a session that was organized by Brendan Bohannan which I am chairing. The detail of the session are below: Session Title: The Great Indoors: Recent Advances in the Ecology of Built Environments …
