  • MICROEDU Listserv
    A discussion group to facilitate communication between educators to examine issues important to undergraduate and graduate microbiology education.


Find a Mentor

The Minority Mentoring Program was designed primarily to assist US minority students and professionals in identifying an appropriate mentor matching their scientific interests and mentoring needs.  Search the database of over 400 ASM members available for career advice, reviewing a paper for publication and participating in general scientific exchange.  The program's online mentors include microbiologists all over the country in all microbiological disciplines.

If you are looking for mentoring assistance, ASM urges you to search the International Mentoring Program database for a prospective mentor who might be able to help you. Through the International Mentoring Program, experienced ASM members offer assistance to young scientists, ranging from giving career advice to reviewing a paper for publication, from advising on a grant application to offering to hosting a short-term ASM International Fellow. Our ASM Mentor volunteers come from all over the world, representing all fields of microbiology, and add a truly global aspect to the International Mentoring Program.
