Summer 2012 Meetings

Two weeks jam-packed with science: first at the American Society for Microbiology General Meeting in San Francisco where I reunited with Seifert  and Hultgren lab members…

Hultgren lab family – old and new

 

…and then on to the Bacterial Cell Surfaces Gordon Research Conference at Mount Snow, Vermont.

The meeting was full of interesting talks – some favorites included Mariana Pinho, Silvia Bulgheresi, Joseph Mougous, Ry Young, Arash Komeili, Kumaran Ramamurthi, Marcia Goldberg, and many more.  In between scientific sessions I got to play outside, and caught up with more of the extended Seifert and Hultgren lab families.
