</font>Dear Students,<br class="">
<font color="#5856d6" class=""><br class="">
</font>I am sending this email to advertise a special subject, 1.S992, I will be teaching over IAP (3 units). The class is called Agricultural Microbiology (flyer attached) and it will taught in Israel, at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev together with
Prof. Itzhak Mizrahi, a world expert in the field. The class is going to be very hands-on, with over 50% lab and independent work focused on reverse-engineering the microbial communities that inhabit the cow rumen and allow the animal to digest pant fibers.
The day-to-day experience will involve the isolation of microbes using anaerobic techniques and the analysis of these organisms using genomic and metabolic data (more info in the flyer). <br class="">
<font color="#5856d6" class=""><br class="">
</font>The class is supported by MISTI and an NSF grant, so costs of travel and accommodation are covered, but we have limited space. I have therefore created an application form for those interested. <br class="">
