BioBE researcher Jeff Kline has been invited to participate in a colloquium on the microbiology of the built environment, convened by American Academy of Microbiology within the American Society for Microbiology. This event, to be held in September in Washington, D.C., will bring together a small group of experts with a breadth of knowledge to discuss architectural design, microbial ecology, and human health. A report for wide distribution will follow based on the deliberations.
