Just got back from a meeting on the “Social Biology of Microbes”. Here are some notes from my trip and from the talks at the meeting, done via Storify. Here it is as a slideshow: http://storify.com/phylogenomics/social-biology-of-microbes-socialmicrobes2012.js?template=slideshow[<a href=”http://storify.com/phylogenomics/social-biology-of-microbes-socialmicrobes2012″ target=”_blank”>View the story “Social Biology of Microbes #SocialMicrobes2012” on Storify</a>]
And here it is a a full scrollable presentation
