The NEMPET Meeting
NEMPET hosts a three day meeting during the second half of June each year. This meeting is held at the Minnowbrook Conference Center in Blue Mountain Lake, NY. The conference program includes an invited speaker, platform presentations and posters. It is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students and post-docs to present their research in front of their peers.
The registration fee ($450, $360 for students) includes all meals and lodging. Attendees stay in comfortable rooms furnished in the Adirondack style, and eat their meals in a spacious dining room overlooking the lake. Meals are both delicious and plentiful. The overall atmosphere of Minnowbrook lends itself to a casual meeting with plenty of opportunities for interaction in and out of the sessions.
For details about our last meeting check out "NEMPET 2011".
We are now offering NEMPET t-shirts, sweatshirts and mugs through cafe press. All profits will be applied to the beverage fund for the meeting. To see more choices, go to www.cafepress.com/nempet
The focus of NEMPET is on general microbiology in all of its many forms. Topics covered in the meeting range from molecular studies of enzyme function to diversity of species in the natural environment. Recent invited speakers have included: Dianne Newman, Gary King, Kurt Hanselman, Derek Lovley, Milton Allison, David Emerson, Klaus Nusslein, Doug Eveleigh and John Tudor.
NEMPET is one of the few meetings where students are encouraged to present talks.
Membership
There is no official membership in the NEMPET organization. There are no dues, and anyone can attend the meetings. We strive to reach the widest possible audience within the field of microbiology.
