2005 Applied and Environmental Microbiology Gordon Conference being held July 24-29, 2005 at Connecticut College in New London, CT.

关于应用和环境微生物学的戈登研究会议(GRC)将于2005年7月24-29日在康涅狄格州新伦敦的康涅狄格学院举行。该计划涵盖了广泛的主题，寻求调查处于知识变革和令人兴奋的新发现中的几个科学领域。该计划将两个传统上分离的小组聚集在一起，一个是参与微生物学基础研究的小组，另一个是参与将这一基础工作应用到现实世界中的小组。会议的基础研究方面重点介绍了生态生理学、微生物多样性、共生、代谢网络、水生病毒和元基因组学等主题。更实用的讲座涵盖可持续生物技术、可再生燃料、生物膜和新的耕作方法等主题。在许多会议上，基础研究和应用讲座都是背靠背的，以刺激这种交流。演讲者被要求只展示最先进的新材料，留出充足的时间进行讨论，并用新想法挑战观众。关于更广泛的影响，以GRC形式聚集研究人员将相互介绍两个学者社区，并在名单上增加学生和博士后的混合。考虑到这个目标，学生和博士后的参与是特别有针对性的。

A Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Applied and Environmental Microbiology will be held July 24-29, 2005, at Connecticut College in New London, CT. The program covers a wide range of topics, seeking to investigate several areas of science that are in the midst of intellectual change and exciting new discoveries. The program brings together two traditionally separated groups, those involved with basic research in microbiology, and those involved with applications of this basic work to real-world situations. The basic research aspect of the meeting is high-lighted by presentations on subjects such as ecophysiology, microbial diversity, symbiosis, metabolic networks, aquatic viruses, and metagenomics. The more applied lectures cover subjects such as sustainable biotechnology, renewable fuels, biofilms, and new methods of cultivation. In many sessions basic research and applications talks are back to back to stimulate this exchange. Speakers have been asked to present only state of the art new material, to leave ample time for discussion, and to challenge the audience with new ideas. With regard to the broader impacts, the bringing together of researchers in the GRC format will introduce two communities of scholars to each other, and add a mixture of students and postdocs to the list. The participation of students and postdocs is being specifically targeted with this goal in mind.
