The Quest for a Field Guide to the Microbes: talk at "Science in the River City"

I got invited a while back to give a talk at a “Science in the River City” workshop for 3rd – 12th grade science teachers.  I proposed (and they said yes) to the idea of talking about my “Quest for A Field Guide to the Microbes.”  I recorded the screen (slides) and audio from my talk using Camtasia and have now posted the slideshow and slides.  Here they are:

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis View all posts by Jonathan Eisen
