In addition to those attending in real time, nearly 100 virtual participants viewed a\u00a0live stream of the talks. A lively discussion took place on Twitter with the hashtag <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23CAMRws&amp;src=typd\" target=\"_blank\">#CAMRws<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Workshop goals were to foster new ideas, accelerate the pace of biological discovery through dissemination of cross-disciplinary techniques, provide a starting point for new collaborations, and to identify gaps for future funding opportunities. The\u00a0July 27-28 workshop was co-organized by\u00a0by <a href=\"http:\/\/ourenvironment.berkeley.edu\/people_profiles\/jill-banfield\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jill Banfield<\/a> of the University of California, Berkeley, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/curtis-huttenhower\/\" target=\"_blank\">Curtis Huttenhower<\/a> of Harvard University.<\/p>\n<p>Full details about the workshop can be found at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/legacy.nimbios.org\/workshops\/WS_microbiome\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/legacy.nimbios.org\/workshops\/WS_microbiome<\/a>.
