ASM Public Outreach
Program at asm2014
This year ASM is inviting members of the public
in for a special program on Sunday afternoon.
ASM is partnering with the Boston Museum of
Science to offer a program called “Technology
and Microbiology: A Public Discussion at the
2014 American Society for Microbiology
Meeting.” Participants will tour the asm2014
Exhibit Hall before adjourning to a nearby room
to reflect on the role of technology in discovery.
They also have the chance to stay for the
Sunday evening reception where they can
mingle with members like you. The Museum
of Science is advertising this program to its
extensive audience in the Boston area. More
information can be found at: www.mos.org/
public-events/technology-and-microbiology.
