CBE News Update December, 2003 Volume 6, Issue 11-12   Interaction Packed Poster Session   _____________________________________________________________________________     Throughout the conference this comment was heard, "I've never been to a conference where there has been this much interaction...everyone here wants to talk about biofilms! It's great!"  And, the poster session was no exception. This picture was taken just to show what one aisle at the poster session looked like...jam packed with interested, enthusiastic people!    See list of poster titles presented by the CBE and the poster titles of their colleagues pictured on this page.       International conferences are particulaly rewarding because of the opportunity to get reacquainted with old friends. Pictured from left: Satoshi Okabe, Japan (CBE alumnus); Paul Sturman, CBE Industrial Coordinator; and Phil Bremer, New Zealand (CBE alumnus).     Paul Stoodley, left, and Peter Suci from the CBE presented a poster on the development of a mobile biofilm unit that could aid on-site biofilm studies.     Katie Sossa and Homero Urrutia, from Chile, have organized collaborative workshops with the CBE. This year two additional workshops have been funded through the NSF/DOE-sponsored Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) Program.      Pictured from left:  Lee Richards, Mark Burr (CBE), and Birthe Kjellerup (Denmark).
