MBL MICRO-ECO DISCUSSION GROUP
Meets Thursdays, 2:30-3:30 PM, Lillie 103, unless otherwise stated.
MBL Micro-Eco Discussion Group, Fall 2010
September 23 - Zoe Cardon
The new Brown University - MBL IGERT grant -- come hear about what it is and how students apply. Even if you were not involved in writing it, you can have students through it! We need to get the word out about it!
Reverse Ecology: Computational Integration of Genomes, Organisms and Environments
September 30 - Jeremy Rich -- meet in Loeb G70 this week
Jeremy will lead the discussion; he is thinking about possibly applying to the NIH rfp Dynamics of Host-Associated Microbial Communities (R01)
