Off to ISME, then vacation...


Hi Everyone:

Today, I am off to Copenhagen for a meeting of the International Society of Microbial Ecology (ISME). I am presenting a poster entitled “adaptation of bacteria to ameliorate the metabolic burden of carrying antibiotic resistance genes (a systems bioecology modeling analysis)”. I am really looking forward to this meeting. There are a lot of interesting presentations and “roundtable discussions”. You can learn more about the conference here: http://www.isme-microbes.org/isme14/

When I get back its time to do some vacation with family. On the agenda is a 4-day stretch of the Appalachian Trail (AT) in Vermont. It will be an adventure...

Then its full speed into the semester. I am teaching two graduate classes: Hydrology and Surface Water Quality Modeling. My goal for research for the Fall semester will be to finish the yeast bet hedging model (see my previous post)...

Farvel (goodbye in Danish),
Ferdi
