Really excited to be co-chairing this brand new special interest group with the incredible @DrJoshRamsay
Did you know the ASM has a new SIG dedicated to mobile genetic elements? These important elements shape microbial evolution and underpin the rise of AMR. ASM members interested in MGEs of any kind are invited to register their interest in the link below forms.gle/3327fftJxmQSxdYj8

My first ClostPath conference was in 2009. I can't believe how much I learned! Moreover, the conference was so welcoming to me as a 'newbie' to the field. This community has always been welcoming to new scientists! History of ClostPath 👇conferences #clostpath13
