The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology hosted Discover BMB, the society’s first stand-alone meeting in many years, March 25–28 at the Seattle Convention Center.
The consensus: Good times and good science were enjoyed by all. Squire Booker of Pennsylvania State University received both the ASBMB Ruth Kirschstein Diversity in Science Award and the ASBMB–Merck Award. Odaelys Pollard and Melissa Rowland–Goldsmith of the ASBMB Science Outreach and Communication Committee lead a hands-on activity during Community Day, a pilot event designed to engage local high school students with real life science and expose them to BMB career paths.
