Things we should add? Leave a comment below…
This would be a very ambitious list of people doing research in indoor microbiology. Additional researchers include Marsha Ward, Steve Vesper Timothy Dean, Doris Betancourt (all from EPA), Karin Foarde, Grace Byfield, and Jean Kim (all from Research Triangle Institute). There are many others that could be named.
Sure – it is ambitious – and I am sure we will not make a complete list – but in part we want to get people out there thinking about the other people in the field and sharing that information. So please, keep sending names and any info you have on institutions.
Thanks
Jonathan
I think this subject area could be interesting for our journal. We publish a peer reviewed, open acces journal titled ‘Microbial Ecology in Health and Disease’, http://www.microbecolhealthdis.net/index.php/mehd/index.
I’ll mention this website on our journals social media forums, perhaps this information can add more names to your list?
Note to self – seems like this would be better to set up either as a publicly editable Wiki or at least as some sort of wordpress collection of links which is then exported to a page
