NCASM Spring 2012 Meeting
The Spring Meeting held March 9 & 10, 2012 at the Pleasanton Hilton at the Club was a huge success. Approximately 180 enthusiastic microbiologists attended sessions each day and were treated to great talks, great exhibits, and opportunities to visit past colleagues and meet new ones. Thank you to the Planning Committee for all the effort they put into organizing the meeting. These folks are professional microbiologists who volunteer alot of time to make this meeting happen. We also thank corporate sponsors and exhibitors who helped defray the cost of offering the meeting.
