intro

The 2009 Symposium on Microbial Evolution and Genomics will take place at the Department of Biology and the Center for Genomics & Systems Biology of New York University. Our host for this year is Patrick Eichenberger [email].

Room 509, Silver Center, 100 Washington Square East. [map]

Please note that all talks are 15 mins, so a 12 min talk (~12 slides) + 3 mins for questions would be ideal.
