Wim van Egmond (1966) started his career as a painter and photographer. In his early works he used photographic manipulations to create images that were abstract and self-reflective, not just depictions of 'reality'. A life long interest in natural history combined with the fact that he grew up a few kilometers from Anthony van Leeuwenhoek's stomping ground may clarify the choice for photomicrography. One of his goals is to portray the microscopic world. In this type of work there is no need to deform reality to create abstract images. The credits go to the wonderful life forms that inhabit this Museum of Invisible Life. The photographer is now just a curator. He scoops up the artworks with a pipette, presses a button or two and patiently fills the museum. A collection that could easily fit on one fingernail. ... [Information of the supplier]
Wim van Egmond (1966) studied painting and photography on the Rotterdam artschool in the Netherlands. Since 1990 he works as a free-lance artist specialised in photomicrography and stereoscopy and a combination of both. These photographs were used in books, magazines, art exhibitions, installations and theater plays. [Information of the supplier]

The MicrobeLibrary initiative is grounded in its overall goal to promote excellence in undergraduate education by: Publishing peer-reviewed teaching resources about the microbial world for undergraduate education; Advancing the ASM Curriculum Recommendations for undergraduate education; and, Promoting the scholarship of teaching and learning in microbiology education. The MicrobeLibrary is an online collection of peer-reviewed resources for teaching microbiology supported by the American Society for Microbiology. It is focused at the undergraduate level. Its contents include visual images and animations; curriculum activities for both classroom and laboratory; articles from Focus on Microbiology Education, Microbiology Education journal, as well as feature articles from microbe (formerly ASM News); and reviews of educational resources such as websites, software, videos, and books. ...

The International Census of Marine Microbes (ICoMM) will facilitate the inventory of marine microbial diversity developing a strategy to (1) catalogue all known diversity of single-cell organisms inclusive of the Bacteria, Archaea, Protista and associated viruses, (2) to explore and discover unknown microbial diversity, and (3) to place that knowledge into appropriate ecological and evolutionary contexts. To be successful, ICoMM must promote international cooperation and forge linkages with existing and new CoML field projects for collecting samples, contextual information and new technologies. ICoMM recognizes that projects currently underway or completed over the past decade will have an important impact on the census. Participation by principal investigators of current projects in the ICoMM initiative will accelerate progress and ultimately lead to an organized constituency for seeking funding from agencies and foundations. At the same time, ICoMM will engage the broader community of microbiologists with complementary interests in microbial diversity, evolution, biogeography and their functional roles in marine systems. ...

It is our pleasure to invite you to the 1st Congress of Baltic Microbiologists (CBM 2012), which will take place in Riga on 31 October – 4 November, 2012. The Congress will be organized by the Latvian Society for Microbiology with the support from Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS). The aim of the Congress is to bring together professionals working in Microbiology from the countries of the Baltic Sea region. It is expected to provide the participants with a complete overview on the main directions of Microbiological studies in the Baltic countries. The Congress will be a unique platform for researchers to present their latest findings and to learn about recent achievements of their colleagues. It is intended to facilitate cooperation and teamwork among scientists from different countries of the region. We believe that the 1st Congress will be an important event in the research and professional activities of microbiologists and that it will contribute to the development of Microbiology in the region. We hope that these Congresses will continue regularly. ... [Information of the supplier]
The 5th Congress of European Microbiologists (FEMS) will be held in the interesting city of Leipzig from July 21-25, 2013. FEMS brings together 46 member societies from 36 European countries, including over thirty thousand microbiologists. This important microbiology Congress will provide an interesting forum for thousands of European and other international colleagues to appreciate the current state of the art in microbiology during numerous symposia and workshops led by prominent scientists in their field. The meeting will be a chance to discuss solutions to future challenges and to provide topical coverage of key disciplines. ... [Information of the supplier]

The study of regulatory RNAs in the control of prokaryotic genomes has become a very active and rapidly growing field. New small and large noncoding RNA molecules continue to be discovered at a staggering rate in bacterial model organisms as well as in the transcriptomes of bacterial communities. Newly discovered structural and functional aspects of such RNAs have reached a degree of breadth that requires a meeting with a strong focus on bacterial RNA research to fully address the diversity of these new regulators of gene expression and bring together the scientists involved in these studies. Regulating with RNA in Bacteria was the first conference dedicated to this topic and premiered a forum for the presentation of cutting-edge advances and the latest perspectives in the areas of discovery, mechanisms and structure of bacterial riboregulators. This conference is the successor of two well-received previous meetings that were held in Berlin (2009) and San Juan (2011), and will be co-sponsored by DFG Program SPP1258 on Sensory and regulatory RNA in prokaryotes. We believe that the topic will attract many researchers from abroad and expect up to 250 participants. Aside from lectures by a number of international experts there will be additional oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts. There also will be sufficient time and space for poster presentations. Sessions will include small regulatory RNAs, riboswitches and RNA thermometers, RNA binding proteins, RNA structure, RNA localization & processing, CRISP/CASS, and RNA bioinformatics. ...
