SIM Local sections provide a forum for individuals involved in a variety of microbial disciplines to meet and exchange ideas on the latest trends. Local sections allow members the opportunity for professional development and serve as a valuable link between education and industry. New acquaintances made at a local meeting could develop into mentors, employees, employers or project collaborators. Local section meetings are also an excellent opportunity for students to network and present their research in a comfortable environment.
