July 31: Deadline to enter contest for Ph.D. students

The Webinar Series in Sphingolipids Biology and Avanti Polar Lipids are hosting a contest for Ph.D. students studying sphingolipids. Apply by July 31 to be considered for a short virtual talk and the chance to win $500. The presentations will be in September.

Call for virtual scientific event proposals

The ASBMB provides members with a virtual platform to share scientific research and accomplishments and to discuss emerging topics and technologies with the BMB community.

The ASBMB will manage the technical aspects, market the event to tens of thousands of contacts and present the digital event live to a remote audience. Additional tools such as polling, Q&A, breakout rooms and post event Twitter chats may be used to facilitate maximum engagement.

Seminars are typically one to two hours long. A workshop or conference might be longer and even span several days.

Prospective organizers may submit proposals at any time. Decisions are usually made within four to six weeks. 

Propose an event.
