Interested in Soil Ecology and Biogeochemistry?
Gain an integrated perspective with world-renowned faculty to address critical questions using current analytical techniques, experimental approaches, and instructional models.  Topics include:
• What are the physical, chemical and biological components of soil?
• What do molecular techniques tell us about soil biodiversity?
• How does soil chemistry affect carbon and nutrient cycling?
• [...]

They look like the two examples below, which were named Best Student Posters at the 3rd Annual Argonne Soil Metagenomics Workshop held October 5-7 at the Indian Lakes Resort just outside of Chicago, IL.

It’s getting closer to the General Meeting of the American Society of Microbiology in New Orleans (May 22-25).  We are excited to be authoring two posters this year. 
We are also very pleased to announce that the undergraduate student who is the primary author of the second poster, Joe Lahti, from the University of Minnesota was awarded [...]

Welcome back everyone and we hope you had a wonderful New Year celebration.
To kick off The Culture Dish, we wanted to tell you where you can meet and greet a member of the MO BIO Labs team if you are traveling to a scientific conference in 2011.  Here is our list of the biggest conferences [...]

Most of you are probably back to work after the ASM conference in San Diego. It was a great conference with a lot of exciting talks and posters and we hope you enjoyed our beautiful city.
We would like to send out some special thanks to researchers who collaborated with us to make this one of MO BIO’s [...]

One of Dr. Janet Jansson’s many ongoing projects, and a big focus in microbiology over the last few years has been the study of the human gut microbiome. As ASM 2010 draws near, you can be sure that human microbiome research is an area that will get a lot of attention.
I thought it would be a good time to review [...]

This year at the American Society for Microbiology Annual Conference hosted in our home town of San Diego, MO BIO Laboratories has some fun activities planned that we wanted to make sure you know about and take part in.
Remember MO BIO in your Methods Section of your Poster

Many of our readers will attend at least one scientific meeting this year and present a talk or a poster.  This week while reading Microbe World, I came across a link to a great and informative article written by Julian Davies on the ASM Blog Small Things Considered called The Attendee’s Guide to Scientific Meetings (part II).
With [...]

Hi All,
Welcome back to The Culture Dish! We hope you are all having a great start to your week and to the year 2010.
