点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The 2013 Microbial Population Biology Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will promote interactions among scientists from diverse disciplines, including biochemistry, microbial and molecular genetics, bioinformatics, virology, mathematics, evolutionary biology, biomedicine and environmental microbiology. Abundant time will be permitted for informal interactions among attendees, and everyone can present either a poster or invited talk. The 2013 meeting creates an associated Gordon Research Seminar immediately preceding the GRC, designed to foster interactions among younger scientists, who are mentored by two established investigators that provide valuable feedback on oral and poster communications.Recognizing that strong recruitment of young minds is vital to the field, speakers in the 2013 conference will include postdoctoral researchers and early-career investigators, as well as internationally-renowned senior scientists, also broadening participation by fostering gender and ethnic diversity at the podium. Meeting results will be disseminated through primary-journal articles, as well as reviews and lay-public magazine articles. The proceedings will have broad societal impact due to their relevance to biomedicine and industrial microbiology.
