ASM Microbe | Registration & Housing ASM Microbe 2025 showcases the best microbial sciences in the world and provides a one-of-a-kind forum to explore everything from basic microbiology to translation and application.

All interested in attending this summer's ASM Microbe mtg; early registration closes March 19! Make sure to register for housing soon--there'll be a FIFA event in LA at the same time, so housing may be hard to come by late asm.org/events/asm-m...

22 National Patient Organizations Voice Concerns to Department of Health and Human Services Removing Key Opportunity for Public Voice. Notice & comment process provides an invaluable platform for patients to share real world experiences, concerns, and implications of proposed rules issued by HHS.

It's not a good sign when major foundations and organizations that support critical disease research in the US have to issue a press release in protest of government actions that put patient health at risk. Read the press release here: www.cff.org/press-releas...

Now the NIH postbac research program is paused??? What a huge loss for the scientific community. This has been a great program that has provided critical training for so many young scientists.

I'm leading a panel today at the Cilia, Mucus & Mucociliary Interactions GRS on "Life After a Terminal Degree: Careers in Academia, Industry, and Beyond." What a time for this discussion. What advice would you give trainees about why it's worth it to continue to pursue a career in science?

Now seems a good time to mention that I haven't yet filled a postdoc position in phylogenetic methods. If you just lost your job, need something temporary, and know something about bioinformatics/statistics/evolution, talk to me.

@asm.org leadership pledged support to continue to host ABRCMS in a virtual town hall event with members today, even if federal funding falls short.

ASM Future Leaders Mentorship Fellowship The ASM Future Leaders Mentorship Fellowship supports master's and doctoral graduate students from underrepresented groups as they seek mentorship in educational, career and leadership development.

The @asm.org Future Leaders program has been instrumental at preparing future scientists who represent our community's diverse membership. It's critical that this program and others can continue. Members should speak out in support of keeping these important initiatives. asm.org/fellowships/...

As a former Wisconsin grad myself (Class of β€˜07, BS in Medical Microbiology & Immunology), I just had a very surreal experience of writing a letter of rec for one of my students to join the Microbiology PhD program there. Wow. On Wisconsin! (Not that I’m biased in anything πŸ˜‰)
