Abstract
A semilattice E is said to be a countable universal semilattice if E is countable and if every countable semilattice can be embedded in E. The free Boolean algebra on a countably infinite number of generators is used to construct a particular countable universal semilattice which is the semilattice of idempotents of a 2-generated bisimple monoid.
