Ruth Wright presented a poster at SACNAS‘ NDiSTEM meeting, representing the UNC Charlotte chapter which many lab members are involved in.
Alison Moore presented a poster at the North Carolina chapter meeting of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM).
Dallas Moses and Bhuwan Abbot both gave talks at NC ASM, but in bigger news, they also both passed their candidacy exams!
Overall, we had a blast at the NC ASM meeting and are looking forward to UNC Charlotte hosting next year!
Over the past month, we had three students attend the SACNAS NDiSTEM meeting in Phoenix, AZ, and five students present at our Annual Biological Sciences Symposium, plus Dr. Carter’s talk at the 8th Partnership in Biocontrol, Biostimulants & Microbiome Congress. We are grateful for the funding from SACNAS, UNC Charlotte, and Global Engage to make our attendance at these events happen. It’s delightful to see so many in the lab getting to share their progress in various venues. While these are the outputs seen by our colleagues, first committee meetings and qualifying exams are also underway this semester. Hoping to get some of these projects into preprints soon!
Dr. Carter attended the Fungal Genetics meeting for the first time and what an incredible experience. She presented a poster on our recent preprint and came back to the lab with great new ideas and connections.
During the last week of February 2024, Lauren, Dallas, and Bhuwan represented the Carter Lab at the Southern Division meeting of the American Phytopathological Society in Columbia, South Carolina. Dallas presented her search for endofungal bacteria in important plant pathogens. We are grateful for the USDA support for this project and for funding their participation in this meeting!
Alison Moore (undergraduate student), Lauren Carneal (technician), Dr. Carter, and Bhuwan Abbot (graduate student) attended the North Carolina American Society for Microbiology Chapter meeting in Durham, NC in November. Dr. Carter presented a talk in the Host-Microbe Interactions session on our new Btl protein preprint.
