Dr. Fierer will be presenting two seminars. Please note that the Wednesday seminar will now take place at 12:30 PM in ENGR 101, while the Thursday seminar will remain in BNR 102 at 4 PM.  Wednesday, 1/21: "Never invited to the feast: The ecology of oligotrophic soil bacteria" Thursday, 1/22: "What 'macro'-bial ecologists can learn from microbial ecologists (and vice versa)" About Dr. Fierer: I am a microbial ecologist, and my research group focuses on microbes living in a range of environments, including those bacteria and fungi living inside our homes, in soil, on plants, and in the atmosphere. We use various approaches, including DNA sequencing and high-throughput cultivation, to explore the diversity and structure of microbial communities, build a trait-based understanding of microbial life, and examine how microorganisms influence the health of ecosystems, plants, and animals (including humans).
