“Schroth Faces of the Future in Bacteriology-A Look to the Future” Early Career Professionals Symposium Nominations being Accepted
 

The Early Career Professionals Committee is pleased to again be sponsoring the Schroth Faces of the Future Symposium at the 2009 APS Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. For the first time the Faces of the Future Symposium, thanks to an endowment established by Milt and Nancy Schroth, will provide funds of $400 each to the selected presenters to help support their travel to the meeting. The 2009 symposium will be entitled, “Schroth Faces of the Future in Bacteriology-A Look to the Future.” This symposium is designed to acknowledge the “up and comers” in bacteriology. The chosen speakers will be asked to present their research in a special session in which they will have the opportunity to highlight their current work and speculate on the future directions of their discipline. In addition, the speakers will have the opportunity to submit a mini review where they can highlight their philosophy and futuristic thinking about the direction of their discipline. We encourage nominations of scientists in the early stages of their careers (assistant professor or equivalent) that are forward thinkers and are perceived to be the future leaders in the field of bacteriology. Speakers will be chosen by a selection committee composed of bacteriologists and members of the Early Career Professionals Committee. The deadline for applications is 5 PM (PST) March 2, 2009. Applications should be submitted as a single merged PDF document to David G. Schmale III, via e-mail at dschmale@vt.edu.
