Starting yesterday, and running through tomorrow (May 21st), the 113th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology is being held in Denver. The 275 page Final Program provides details on the participants, schedules, scientific sessions, and poster sessions.
As we saw last year (see Webcast: ASM Live San Francisco 2012), for those of us not able to attend the next best thing is ASM’s series of live webcasts (almost immediately available on the MicrobeWorld Youtube Channel) featuring interviews with presenters and discussions on some of the hottest topics at this year’s meeting.
For those unfamiliar with it, the MicrobeWorld Youtube Channel provides an absolute terrific resource, where you’ll find scores of video presentations going back several years. Pack a lunch, because you could spend days in there.
Although all of this year’s webcasts should be of interest, tomorrow’s Update on H7N9: Should We Be Concerned? is perhaps the most topical, given the concerns over China’s recent outbreak.
The full schedule of web events is listed below.
Schedule
Please note: The following schedule is preliminary and subject to change. Participants and more detail for each conference will be posted soon. All participants are invited, not confirmed.
