Getting around New Orleans during asm2011

New Orleans is a city that just encourages one to write on and on about what to visit there.

 

Or eat.

 

Or say.

 

We have coverage of the 2011 conference of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) in our May issue of ddn, but frankly, it wasn't enough, and we wanted to offer some added value. So, here on the website is not only coverage that includes those stories from the print issue but more besides (and we still had to stop to keep from going overboard).

By the way, even if you aren't going to asm2011, you'll want to read all this to find out why you need to visit the city (or revisit it).
