Here are some quick notes from my trip to Austin Texas for the Indoor Air 2011 meeting. About the meeting: I got involved in helping organize a session at this conference as part of my microBEnet project. More on the planning and the meeting later but here are some quick notes just to get them …
Lots of pictures form Indoor Air 2011 – Austin, Texas are up on the website. Quite an collection and the quality of some of the pics is excellent.
I spend most of my time working on biology. I like to think I cover lots of breadth within biology and I probably do – microbes, evolution, ecology, human health, pathogens, symbioses, forensics, genomics, bioinformatics, and more. But nothing like really looking at other fields to realize how narrowly focused one is. And that is …

Things that jumped out at me from the afternoon session today. For the morning session see here. Norm Pace (CU Boulder) made the point during questions that when we talk about “pathogens” in metagenomic environmental sequences, what we really mean is “sequences related to pathogens” and that probably most of those sequences don’t come from …
I’m currently at Indoor Air 2011 sitting in on the Sloan Foundation-sponsored sessions on microbiology of the built environment. There are a number of great talks taking place and we hope to post some more information in the form of slides later. We’ll probably also post a more formal write-up about some of the discussions …
Just got sent a link to this interview of Rich Corsi on a Fox TV station about the Upcoming Indoor Air 2011 meeting: UT: Indoor Air Conference. There is still time to sign up for the meeting. I note – there will be sessions Wednesday and Thursday focusing on microbiology of the built environment. We (i.e., …
Just a quick reminder. The 12th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate will take place June 5-10 in Austin, TX. It looks to be very good. MicroBEnet is working with the organizers to plan a few sessions on “Microbiology of the Built Environment”. Stay tuned for more details. Until then, check out the …
Just thought I would give people the heads up – I am helping plan a session on “Microbiology of the Indoor Environment” that will happen at the “Indoor Air 2011” meeting in Austin, TX June 5-10 2011. The conference itself covers an enormous amount of ground about, well, Indoor Air. And I am helping the …
