Conference: "Thermophiles 2011"; to be held in Big Sky, Montana, September 11-16, 2011

蒙大拿州州立大学热生物学研究所将于2011年9月11日至16日在蒙大拿州大天空的亨特利旅馆举办2011年嗜热菌大会。会议的目标是：1）将研究嗜热菌的科学家，技术人员和教育工作者社区的所有积极成员聚集在一起，分享和审查跨学科和应用的嗜热研究的发现和进展; 2）为年轻的研究人员提供一个论坛，将其介绍给来自学术界，国家实验室和私营企业的同行和高级科学家; 3）加快跨学科和应用的合作机会; 4）十五年来首次在美国举办会议。这一对嗜热菌进行基础和应用研究的研究人员的聚会是必要的，以促进在未来科学发现中富有成果的相互作用。 2011年的《嗜热菌》将重点介绍热电堆代谢的最新进展和新发现，这将极大地扩展我们对地球上微生物活动和多样性的认识。 拟议的会议主题包括：基因组学和宏基因组学、生命的进化和起源、嗜热生物的应用科学、多样性和生态学、遗传机制和工具、环境适应、生理学和代谢、移动的遗传元素更广泛的影响：国际和地方组织委员会一直在努力扩大2011年嗜热生物的参与。 已注意邀请妇女、代表人数不足的少数群体、早期职业调查人员和博士生参加会议。

The Thermal Biology Institute at Montana State University will host Thermophiles 2011 at the Huntley Lodge in Big Sky, Montana, September 11-16, 2011. The objectives of the meeting are to: 1) bring together all active members of the community of scientists, technologists and educators that study thermophiles to share and review discoveries and progress in thermophilic research across disciplines and applications; 2) provide a forum for young investigators to be introduced to peers and senior scientists from academia, national labs and private industry; 3) expedite opportunities for collaboration across disciplines and applications; 4) host the conference in the United States for the first time in fifteen years. This gathering of researchers who conduct basic and applied research on thermophiles is needed to foster interactions that will be fruitful in future scientific discoveries. Thermophiles 2011 will highlight recent advances and new discoveries in thermopile metabolism which is greatly expanding our knowledge of microbial activities and diversity on earth. The proposed meeting topics include: Genomics and Metagenomics, Evolution and Origin of Life, Applied Science of Thermophiles, Diversity and Ecology, Genetic Mechanisms and Tools, Environmental Adaptations, Physiology and Metabolism, Mobile Genetic ElementsBroader Impacts: The international and local organizing committees have been deliberate in their efforts to broaden participation in Thermophiles 2011. Attention has been given to inviting women, underrepresented minorities, early career investigators and PhD students to participate in the Conference.
