Today, we’re talking with Dr. Darla Goeres, whose research interests at the Center for Biofilm Engineering at Montana State University include

  • standardized biofilm methods development

  • biological reactor design

  • the evaluation of biofilms in the built environment

  • efficacy testing of potential anti-biofilm treatments

Darla, who until recently chaired the ASTM E35 committee (Pesticides, antimicrobials, and alternative control agents), notes that the majority of the leadership positions within the subcommittees and main committee are filled by women. This is a proud achievement whose origin she explains. We also get into her view on the importance of standard methods, the ASTM process, and the role biofilms play in skunky smelling, funky tasting draft beer.
