Dear Faculty, Postdocs and Students, 

After a two year hiatus planning for the 29th Gail Cassell Microbiology Research Retreat is well underway. This year the retreat will be a one day event on Friday, November 11, 2022 at The Harbert Center located in Downtown Birmingham. The Micro retreat has always been a wonderful opportunity for students, faculty and post docs to focus on science and to establish new collaborations away from the distractions of everyday life. 

We are finalizing the agenda, but plan on attending from 8:15 AM to 6:00 PM.  Dr. Anukul Shenoy will be the keynote speaker.  Registration will be from September 26 - October 21.  Please submit abstracts online by October 14. We are strongly encouraging all students and post docs to submit abstracts, which will be selected for either poster or oral presentation. Lucrative prizes will be awarded for the best poster/oral presentations. 

We look forward to seeing you at the retreat!
