Project Summary/Abstract For the past 22 years, the annual Boston Bacterial Meeting (BBM) has brought together researchers involved in all areas of microbiology, attracting attendees from both within and outside of New England. In congruence with its goal of cultivating scientific and professional growth of young scientists, this longstanding meeting is organized by student and postdoctoral fellow volunteers, with additional faculty and administrative support. The nearly 500 participants each year hail from over 100 different academic and biotechnology laboratories and institutions, and span both the breadth and depth of microbiological research in the greater Boston area. Many of our attendees attend this meeting every year, and recognize it as a unique, fun, and innovative conference. The aims of the BBM are to provide a shared forum for junior and senior microbiologists to present, learn about, and discuss the latest research, to foster collaborations among participants, and to offer opportunities for young investigators to communicate their research and build professional relationships. By bringing basic scientists into contact with medical microbiologists, the BBM also fosters technology transfer between basic and applied microbiology fields. By targeting young researchers, the conference also presents a unique opportunity to seed new ideas amongst researchers who are just starting their careers. The two-day program features short oral presentations, two afternoon poster sessions, lunchtime breakout sessions, evening receptions, and a keynote lecture by a leading professor. Recently hired junior-level professors are featured in our abstract book and also moderate each session of oral presentations, participate in the question and answer sections following talks, and attend the poster sessions and receptions. The BBM will achieve its aims by continuing to cultivate a vibrant community of New England microbiologists. The meeting presents a broad range of topics and a format that encourages interaction among participants. For many young researchers, for whom attendance at major international meetings may not be financially feasible, the BBM is a vital opportunity to practice scientific communication and to be exposed to the rich bacteriological research community that the conference draws upon for attendees. The emphasis on communication and interaction within the broad scope of microbiology is a major strength of the meeting. Overall, the BBM has and continues to advance research in basic, applied, and clinical microbiology, and furthers the professional development of attendees.

项目概要/摘要 过去 22 年来，一年一度的波士顿细菌会议 (BBM) 汇聚了 涉及微生物学各个领域的研究人员，吸引了国内外的与会者 新英格兰。与培养年轻人科学和专业成长的目标相一致 科学家们，这个长期会议是由学生和博士后志愿者组织的， 额外的师资和行政支持。每年有近 500 名参与者来自 100 多个国家 不同的学术和生物技术实验室和机构，涵盖广度和深度 大波士顿地区的微生物研究。我们的许多与会者每年都会参加这次会议 今年，并认为这是一次独特、有趣和创新的会议。 BBM 的目标是为初级和高级微生物学家提供一个共享论坛 展示、了解和讨论最新研究，促进参与者之间的合作，并 为年轻研究人员提供交流研究成果和培养专业人才的机会 关系。通过让基础科学家与医学微生物学家接触，BBM 还促进了 基础微生物学领域和应用微生物学领域之间的技术转让。通过瞄准年轻研究人员， 会议还提供了一个独特的机会，可以在刚刚起步的研究人员中传播新想法 开始他们的职业生涯。为期两天的课程包括简短的口头演讲和两个下午的海报 会议、午餐时间分组会议、晚间招待会以及知名人士的主题演讲 教授。最近聘请的初级教授出现在我们的摘要书中，而且也很温和 每场口头演讲，参加演讲后的问答部分，以及 参加海报会议和招待会。 BBM 将通过继续培育充满活力的新英格兰社区来实现其目标 微生物学家。会议提出了广泛的主题和鼓励互动的形式 参与者之间。对于许多年轻的研究人员来说，参加重大国际会议 BBM 可能在经济上不可行，但它是实践科学交流和实践的重要机会 接触会议所利用的丰富的细菌学研究界 参加者。在微生物学的广泛范围内强调沟通和相互作用是 会议的主要力量。总体而言，BBM 已经并将继续推进基础、 应用和临床微生物学，并促进与会者的专业发展。
