This week the University of California, San Diego’s prestigious Scripps Institution of Oceanography is holding an academic conference. This is a conference on Biology. Biology. And this is from their website, a virtually crazy tautology that seems to have been so obviously anti-scientific and anti-scholarly that they eventually crossed some of it out. But they did think this was reasonable.
During the first day of this event, leading researchers will present on the emerging science of the Urobiome and its recently discovered implications for human health, including common conditions such as urinary tract infection, urinary incontinence and bladder overactivity.
The following two days will feature high-impact presentations on the latest discoveries in microbiome sciences, with sessions on topics ranging from the microbiome in human disease and wellness and the metabolome, to primate microbiomes, to environmental and ocean microbiomes.
For this first edition, we have decided to demonstrate that it is possible to have a large representation of women presenters in a scientific meeting by inviting only women speakers.
