All microbes, all the time. May the microbes be ever in your favor.
STEM Women: How Men Can Help, w/ Professor Jonathan Eisen (hey, that’s me)
Just got done with an interview “STEM Women: How Men Can Help, with Professor Jonathan Eisen” done via Google Hangout with Buddhini Samarasinghe and Zuleyka Zavallos.
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

Hey, Jonathan. Looking forward to this! I'm making polenta right now, but will watch this evening.
Also, saw post on the conference you're having on “publish or perish”. I guess you're seen Higgs comment in the Guardian:
Yes, I saw the Higgs thing — the current system has major major issues – though I think I am more optimistic than some others that there are still good parts …
I'm organizing a conference next year and appreciate your tips for enhancing women's attendance (child care!) and leadership presence (plenary speakers!). Many of our society members are women.
