Bill was honored by the Allegheny-Singer Research Institute at a Festschrift on February 25, 2012, that featured many of Bill's former students and many internationally recognized biofilm researchers. In panel A, Bill is shown with several of his former students. Front left, Bill Costerton, and right, Joe Lam; back left to right, Hong Wei Yu, Mary Power, Lori Graham, Bob McLean, and Joe Sung. In panel B are shown (left to right) Neils Høiby (University of Copenhagen, Denmark), Dave Davies (former postdoctoral scholar, Binghamton University), Tim Tolker-Nielsen (University of Copenhagen, Denmark), Staffan Kjelleberg (SCELSE, Singapore), and Matt Parsek (University of Washington).
