SUMMARY:NAS study on Microbiomes of the Built Environment (Washington\, DC)
DESCRIPTION:Coming next week June 20-21 Meeting #2 of the NAS study on Microbiomes of the Built Environment. Meeting is free to attend in person or online and the agenda includes some amazing people so it should be worth checking out. \nSome more detail from their website is below: \nThe study’s second public meeting will be held on June 20-21\, 2016 at the 20 F Street Conference Center in Washington\, DC (20 F Street NW\, Washington DC 20001). The meeting will focus on Understanding Microbial Communities in Built Environments and will focus on issues surrounding the following questions: \n\n\n\nWhat are the primary variables affecting composition and diversity of built environment microorganisms?\nWhat interactions occur between built environment microbiomes and human occupants?\nHow will the public interact with the information that results from built environment microbiome studies\, and what are lessons learned from risk assessment communication that can assist in better informing the public?\nWhat are the major building systems that will affect or be affected by indoor built microbiomes\, how should they be characterized\, and what is their impact on the indoor built microbiome?\n\nPlease click here to view the final meeting agenda (also copied below) \nPlease click here to register to attend the meeting in person or via webcast (accessing the webcast is free and open to all participants). If you have any questions please email builtmicrobiome@nas.edu. \n\n  \n\n\n\nAgenda: \n\n\n\n\n\nMicrobiomes of the Built Environment: From Research to Application: Meeting 2 Understanding Microbial Communities in Built Environments \n20 F Street Conference Center\n20 F Street NW\, Washington DC 20001 June 20-21\, 2016 \nMonday\, June 20 \nLight breakfast will be available \n8:45am Welcome and Introductions \n\nJoan Bennett\, Committee Chair\nCommittee member introductions (name and affiliation) Goals of the study and open sessions\n\n9:00 Opening Session: Perspectives on Microbial Interactions in Built Environments \n\nJo Handelsman\, Office of Science and Technology Policy (invited)\nBrent Stephens\, Illinois Institute of Technology\nDiscussion\n\n10:15 Break \n10:30 Public Engagement on the Implications of Built Environment Microbiomes \n\nHow will the public engage in understanding built environment microbiomes and interact with the information that results from such studies?\nHow is the public likely to respond to the implications\, and can any lessons be derived from experiences with citizen science and risk assessment communication?\nLee Ann Kahlor\, University of Texas at Austin\nRob Dunn\, North Carolina State University (remote) – Discussion\n\n11:45 Lunch \n1:00 Linking Human Occupants and Built Environment Microbiomes \nWhat interactions occur between built environment microbiomes and human occupants\, including human microbiomes?
