Our Work
Every year as part of ASM Microbe, our annual meeting, ASM organizes numerous public engagement activities. These events provide attendees with opportunities to participate in public-facing interactions that bring science outside of the meeting confines. Members of the local community in which ASM Microbe takes place get the chance to meet with scientists and discuss their interests, concerns and questions.
