<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Dr. Gary M. King is the A.C. Pereboom Distinguished
Professor of Biology at Louisiana
State University.
His research in the fields of microbial ecology and biogeochemistry focuses on
the distribution and activities of microbes that impact the transformation of
trace gases (i.e. methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitric oxide and nitrous
oxide), which significantly affect atmospheric chemistry and radiative forcing.
Research efforts in ecosystems ranging from aquatic environments to recent
terrestrial volcanic deposits examine the physiological and molecular ecology
of such microbes in the context of plant-microbe and animal-microbe
interactions. His work has made significant contributions to our
knowledge of the diversity and physiology of microbes that control trace gas
budgets on local, regional and global scales. </span></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Dr. King is an internationally respected researcher and
educator, having authored or co-authored more than 135 scientific publications
and the textbook <i>Bacterial Biogeochemistry: The Ecophysiology of Mineral
Cycling. </i>He is a member of the American
Academy of Microbiology, was a
Fulbright Scholar in Denmark
and has held several guest lectureships and visiting professorships.
Prior to assuming his position at Louisiana State University in 2007, he was
the C.S. Darling Distinguished Professor of Oceanography at the University of
Maine where he earned many honors at the University and State levels; these honors
included the Outstanding Research Award, Presidential Research and Creative
Achievement Award, Graduate Teaching and Research Award and the Distinguished
Service Award from the Natural Resources Council of Maine. </span></div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;"> <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">As a long-time member of the American
Society for Microbiology, Dr. King has chaired several committees in
Environmental Microbiology for the Public and Scientific Affairs Board.
He has served or is currently serving on numerous editorial boards including <i>FEMS
Microbiology Ecology, Frontiers in Microbiology, Applied and Environmental
Microbiology</i> and <i>Aquatic Microbial Ecology</i>. He has been a
member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board, the
advisory committee for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and has led efforts
to integrate microbial biology into the National Ecological Observatory
Network, (NEON) Inc. framework, which aims to understand and predict
consequences of climate change, invasive species and land-use changes at
multiple scales.</span></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Dr. King holds a B.S. in Zoology and a Ph.D. in Microbiology
from the University
of Georgia.</span></div>

<b>Intermountain Branch Meeting 2012</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks to all participants from around our region who
attended the meeting in Pocatello on April 7, 2012. We had approximately 140 attendees, who made 18 oral
presentations or presented one of the 35 posters. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Congratulations to the student award winners: Desiree DeMille, BYU, best
biomedical oral presentation, Patrick Gygli, ISU, best
agricultural/environmental oral presentation, and Michael Barrus, BYU, and Eric
Sefing, USU, best posters. Each
student received a check for $200 from the branch and ASM. The branch also awarded complimentary ASM student memberships to members of the ISU Microbiology Club who volunteered to assist with registration and as session chairs. Thank you! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We thank Dr. Larry Wackett for traveling from the Univ. of
Minnesota to present the branch lecture and spend the day with participants.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the branch business meeting, current president Dr. Frank
Roberto, INL, conducted the election of the 2013 officers slate, including Dr.
Linda DeVeaux, ISU, president, Dr. Karen Kesterson, Dugway Proving Grounds, president-elect, Dr. Carolyn Weber, ISU, treasurer, and Dr. David Reed, INL,
secretary. New officers assume
their duties beginning in June of 2012.
Dr. Matt Domek, WSU and Dr. Kesterson retain their roles as branch
councilors in 2013. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next year’s branch meeting will once again be held at Idaho
State University, with ISU as the official host, and Dugway Proving Grounds
will host the 2014 meeting. Check
this blog for information on the dates for these meetings in 2013.</div>
