[Ccb_faculty] Dr. Jack Gilbert seminar and meetings November 10th

[Emma Aronson]

Hello all,

I am organizing the schedule for our MCBL Seminar Speaker Dr. Jack Gilbert
<https://gilbertlab.ucsd.edu/> in 2 weeks, on November 10. He is a pillar
of the field of microbiology, doing exciting research in human microbiome,
microbiome of the built environment, soil health, and marine microbiology
(Bio from his website pasted in below). He will be at UCR from UCSD/Scripps
just for the day on November 10th. Please consider attending his seminar on
Nov 10 at 2PM in the Genomics Auditorium. Let me know ASAP if you want to
meet with him that day, as well as your entire availability 10-4 that day.
I may double up some meetings if necessary.

Cheers,
Emma
