We advance careers through our professional development programs and certifications. We train and inspire the next generation of scientists through our outreach and educational programs. • ASM members have a passion for the microbial sciences, a desire to connect with their colleagues and a drive to be involved with the profession. Whether it is publishing in an ASM Journal, attending an ASM meeting or volunteering on one of the Society's many boards and committees. • Big parts of our everyday lives, from energy production, waste recycling, new sources of food, new drug development and infectious diseases to environmental problems and industrial processes-are studied in the microbial sciences. • Microbiology boasts some of the most illustrious names in the history of science--Pasteur, Koch, Fleming, Leeuwenhoek, Lister, Jenner and Salk--and some of the greatest achievements for mankind. Within the 20th century, a third of all Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine have been awarded to microbiologists. • Subscribe to ASM's YouTube channel at https://goo.gl/mOVHlK where you can view a wide variety of microbiology related content from science talks and lectures, interviews with leaders in the field, how to videos, workshops/trainings, scientific journal video abstracts and more. • Visit the American Society for Microbiology at http://www.asm.org • Become a member today at http://www.asmscience.org/join • Interact with us on social at: • Facebook • Show your support and get updates on the latest microbial offerings and news from the ASM. • / asmfan • ASM International Facebook Groups • Join an ASM International Facebook Group and connect with microbiologists in your region. • http://www.asm.org/index.php/programs... • Twitter • Follow all the latest news from the Society. • / asmicrobiology • Instagram • Outstanding images of your favorite viruses, fungi, bacteria and parasites • / asmicrobiology
