International E.coli Alliance conference

I promised I would give some publicity to this poorly advertised meeting of the International E. coli Alliance, which is still open to applicants. 

The International E.coli Alliance conference will be held at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre at Hinxton, near Cambridge, England from 24^th- 27^th September 2008. This is a 4 day meeting which will cover the impact of the genomics and post-genomics revolution in microbiology, with special focus on bacterial regulatory strategies and pathogenic mechanisms.

Non-experts keen to know more about E. coli should take a look at Carl Zimmer's latest book: Microcosm.
