On April 26 and 27, 2007, the American Museum of Natural History's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation (CBC) will hold its twelfth annual Spring Symposium. This year, the topic will be "Microbial Diversity and Its Role in Conservation. This unique gathering will convene a diverse group of scientists to examine the intersection of microbes and conservation biology. Through a series of talks, panel discussions, and poster presentations, the conference will address pressing questions of the amount of microbial diversity on the planet, how this diversity influences other organisms, both positively and negatively, and how conservation practices should take microbial life into account. This symposium will represent one of the first opportunities for disease ecologists, microbial genomicists, marine virologists, biogeochemists, and conservation geneticists/biologists, to name a few, to come together and discuss how microbial diversity is assessed, how it is threatened, and how the "unseen majority" profoundly affects the fate of all other life on Earth. This symposium represents a significant new initiative of interdisciplinary thinking for conservation. The program includes a diverse group of speakers. Ten of the twenty-four confirmed participants (42%) are women. Throughout the symposium, approximately 70 posters from other scientists, including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from local institutions but also national and international programs will be exhibited, providing an opportunity for many up-and-coming researchers to present their work to a diverse audience. The proceedings of the symposium will be disseminated to the scientific community and to the general public in four ways. First, there is an evening lecture on the first day that is open to the general public and thus is a means of introducing the subject of the symposium to a very general audience. Second, all symposia are archived on the CBC website, including presentation transcripts and speaker abstracts, bios, and publication lists; this year podcasts of all of the talks will be posted. Information on the availability of these materials will then be disseminated widely, with a distribution plan that includes local high schools and undergraduate institutions. The New York metropolitan area is one of the country's most ethnically diverse regions; there are at least 30 public and private secondary education institutions in the region whose minority enrollments range from 31 to 100%. Third, the diverse topics that are being brought together in this symposium will be merged into an edited volume. Finally, the CBC's Spring Symposia typically attract members of the local, national, and international media who report on the information that is shared in the symposium talks and posters, again, taking the message back to the general public.

2007年4月26日至27日，美国自然历史博物馆生物多样性和保护中心（CBC）将举办第十二届年度春季研讨会。 今年的主题将是“微生物多样性及其在保护中的作用”。这次独特的聚会将召集不同的科学家小组来研究微生物与保护生物学的交叉点。通过一系列演讲、小组讨论和海报展示，会议将解决地球上微生物多样性的数量、这种多样性如何对其他生物体产生积极和消极的影响以及保护实践应如何采取等紧迫问题。 考虑微生物的生命。这次研讨会将为疾病生态学家、微生物基因组学家、海洋病毒学家、生物地球化学家和保护遗传学家/生物学家等提供第一次机会，让他们齐聚一堂，讨论如何评估微生物多样性、它如何受到威胁，以及“看不见的大多数”如何深刻影响地球上所有其他生命的命运。本次研讨会代表了一个重要的新 保护的跨学科思维的倡议。该计划包括多元化的演讲者群体。 24 名已确认参与者中有 10 名（42%）是女性。在整个研讨会期间，将展出约 70 张来自其他科学家的海报，其中包括来自当地机构的研究生和博士后研究员以及国家和国际项目，为许多崭露头角的研究人员提供了向不同观众展示他们的工作的机会。 诉讼程序 研讨会将通过四种方式向科学界和公众传播。首先，第一天有一个向公众开放的晚间讲座，这是向广大观众介绍研讨会主题的一种方式。 其次，所有研讨会都在 CBC 网站上存档，包括演讲记录和演讲者摘要、简历和出版物列表；今年所有会谈的播客将 发布。有关这些材料可用性的信息将广泛传播，分发计划包括当地高中和本科院校。纽约都会区是美国种族最多元化的地区之一； 该地区至少有30所公立和私立中等教育机构，少数族裔入学率在31%至100%之间。第三，本次研讨会汇集的不同主题将被合并成一个经过编辑的 体积。最后，CBC 的春季研讨会通常会吸引当地、国家和国际媒体的成员，他们报道研讨会演讲和海报中分享的信息，再次将信息带回给公众。
