In the “Extremo File” blog, Jeffrey Marlow discussed recent work from the BioBE Center: Is Your Office Building Trying to Kill You? | Wired Science | Wired.com. The post discusses how studies of microbial ecology are moving from the outdoors to the indoors and that is a useful message to get across. I presume the post …
Jessica Green (http://biology.uoregon.edu/people/green/) and Brendan Bohannan(http://biology.uoregon.edu/ceeb/faculty_pages/Bohannan/) are currently seeking a bioinformatics postdoctoral researcher to explore fundamental questions in microbial ecology and evolution. Applicants should have a PhD with extensive training using bioinformatics to understand the ecology and/or evolution of complex biological communities, and strong writing skills. The ideal candidate will have experience developing and applying quantitative community and population ecological …
Cross posting this from my Tree of Life blog: Well I am very excited about this article in the Boston Globe today: Ecosystem, sweet ecosystem – The Boston Globe. By Courtney Humphries the article discusses the Sloan Foundation program in the “Indoor Environment” that is focusing on microbial ecology of the built environment. I am, well, really into …
Just a quick one here. There is an interesting article in “The New Mexican” featuring Jessica Green from the Biology and the Built Environment Center: Researcher: Microbes in buildings not all bad – The Santa Fe New Mexican. The article not only discusses how many microbes are NOT bad for you, but also discusses Jessica …
Great TED talk yesterday by Jessica Green who is one of the folks in charge of the BioBE Center, another project funded by the Sloan Foundation Indoor Air Program. Here she talks about the relationship between outdoor air and mechanically vented air in hospitals.
