ASM Conference for Undergraduate Educators (ASMCUE)

Event Details: 

This year’s conference will be Nov. 17 – 19, 2023, in-person, in Phoenix, Arizona. We hope that you will consider also attending part of the ABRMCS conference (Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists) when you visit Phoenix!

Here’s some new details:

1. Submit a session, poster, or microbrew. The application portal for sessions, posters, and microbrews is now open! Presenting at ASMCUE is a great way to gain feedback about your new classroom learning activity or your new biology education research project. And, many presenters are able to secure financial support from their institutions to attend ASMCUE when they make a presentation. Unsure about whether your teaching scholarship is appropriate? Send me an email off this listserv (education@asmusa.org) and we can discuss your idea! All proposals are due June 1, 11:59 PM PT.

1. Apply for a Travel Award. We are now accepting applications for Travel Awards to ASMCUE. There are 2 types of Travel Awards, each with their own application, criteria, and amount of award. Please read the criteria carefully before applying. Travel Awards are only available for ASM Members teaching at US-based institutions. Applicants who submit a proposal are given first preference for Travel Awards, so that’s another reason to submit a session, poster, or microbrew! All applications for Travel Awards are due July 10, 11:59 PM PT.

1. Attend a FREE Carski Award webinar. The 2023 ASM Carski Award winner is Amy Siegesmund of Pacific Lutheran University, and she will present her award talk over Zoom on Wednesday May 17 at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT. The title of her talk is “The Joy in the Journey: Building Relationships and Sharing Experiences”. Get a sneak peek of the unique content of ASMCUE by attending this FREE webinar.
