Project Summary/Abstract For the past 22 years, the annual Boston Bacterial Meeting (BBM) has brought together researchers involved in all areas of microbiology, attracting attendees from both within and outside of New England. In congruence with its goal of cultivating scientific and professional growth of young scientists, this longstanding meeting is organized by student and postdoctoral fellow volunteers, with additional faculty and administrative support. The nearly 500 participants each year hail from over 100 different academic and biotechnology laboratories and institutions, and span both the breadth and depth of microbiological research in the greater Boston area. Many of our attendees attend this meeting every year, and recognize it as a unique, fun, and innovative conference. The aims of the BBM are to provide a shared forum for junior and senior microbiologists to present, learn about, and discuss the latest research, to foster collaborations among participants, and to offer opportunities for young investigators to communicate their research and build professional relationships. By bringing basic scientists into contact with medical microbiologists, the BBM also fosters technology transfer between basic and applied microbiology fields. By targeting young researchers, the conference also presents a unique opportunity to seed new ideas amongst researchers who are just starting their careers. The two-day program features short oral presentations, two afternoon poster sessions, lunchtime breakout sessions, evening receptions, and a keynote lecture by a leading professor. Recently hired junior-level professors are featured in our abstract book and also moderate each session of oral presentations, participate in the question and answer sections following talks, and attend the poster sessions and receptions. The BBM will achieve its aims by continuing to cultivate a vibrant community of New England microbiologists. The meeting presents a broad range of topics and a format that encourages interaction among participants. For many young researchers, for whom attendance at major international meetings may not be financially feasible, the BBM is a vital opportunity to practice scientific communication and to be exposed to the rich bacteriological research community that the conference draws upon for attendees. The emphasis on communication and interaction within the broad scope of microbiology is a major strength of the meeting. Overall, the BBM has and continues to advance research in basic, applied, and clinical microbiology, and furthers the professional development of attendees.

项目摘要/摘要 在过去的22年里，一年一度的波士顿细菌会议(BBM)将 研究人员涉及微生物学的所有领域，吸引了来自国内外的与会者 新英格兰。与其培养青少年科学和专业成长的目标是一致的 科学家们，这个长期的会议是由学生和博士后志愿者组织的， 额外的教员和行政支持。每年的近500名参与者来自100多人 不同的学术和生物技术实验室和机构，并跨越广度和深度 在大波士顿地区的微生物学研究。我们的许多与会者每年都会参加这次会议。 并认为这是一次独特、有趣和创新的会议。 BBM的目标是为初级和高级微生物学家提供一个共享的论坛 介绍、了解和讨论最新研究，以促进参与者之间的合作，并 为年轻的研究人员提供交流他们的研究并建立专业的机会 两性关系。通过让基础科学家与医学微生物学家接触，BBM还促进了 基础微生物学和应用微生物学领域之间的技术转让。通过瞄准年轻的研究人员， 会议还提供了一个独特的机会，在那些刚刚开始研究的研究人员中传播新想法 开始他们的职业生涯。为期两天的课程包括简短的口头陈述，两个下午的海报 会议、午餐分组会议、晚间招待会，以及由一位 教授。最近聘请的初级教授在我们的抽象书中有特色，也是中等水平的 每一次的口头陈述，参加演讲后的问答环节，以及 参加招贴会和招待会。 BBM将通过继续培养一个充满活力的新英格兰社区来实现其目标 微生物学家。会议提出了广泛的议题和鼓励互动的形式 在参与者中。对于许多年轻的研究人员来说，他们参加了重要的国际会议 BBM在财务上可能不可行，但BBM是实践科学交流和 向会议所利用的丰富的细菌学研究社区敞开大门 出席者。强调在微生物学的广泛范围内进行交流和相互作用 会议的主要优势。总体而言，BBM已经并将继续推进基础、 应用和临床微生物学，并进一步促进与会者的专业发展。
