[QSB-grads] Ruth Timme - QSB Seminar Speaker

[Emily Jane McTavish]

Hi all,

Friday's QSB seminar speaker will be Ruth Timme.

Ruth is a computational evolutionary biologist. She is a Research 
Microbiologist at the US Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food 
Safety and Nutrition, and runs the Genome Trackr program, a global 
network of research laboratories using whole genome sequencing for 
pathogen identification in order to speed foodborne illness outbreak 
investigations and reduce foodborne illnesses and deaths.
She also has a background in systematic botany!

Faculty and postdocs - sign up for a meeting with Ruth here:

I encourage graduate students to come to lunch, especially if you are 
interested in food borne illnesses, computational biology, or government 
agency positions.
Please contact Jasper Toscani Field <jtoscanifield at ucmerced.edu> to get 
on the list for lunch.

She will be at the SNS picnic at Vista for dinner!


Contact me (ejmctavish at ucmerced.edu) with any questions.

Thank you,
Emily Jane
