ASM Microbe 2016

Amelia and Paola went to ASM Microbe 2016 in Boston Massachusetts.

Amelia gave a talk in the session “Microbial electric grids: electromicrobiology, fuel cells, nanowires and cable bacteria.”. The talk was entitled: “Methanogens hungry for electrons” and you can find the abstract here.

Tweeps twitted during the talk, and even photos were snapped.

After the conference Amelia also visited Amherst – the Lovley lab. It’s been great meeting old and new friends and collaborators from the US.

Paola presented a poster from her master studies. She had lots of people visiting her during the poster hours.
