Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Boston Bacterial Meeting is deeply committed to supporting a diverse and inclusive community of bacteriologists. We encourage scientists of all backgrounds, including race, ethnicity, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion/faith, education, socio-economic status, ability, national origin, citizen status, military status, and political affiliation.
To uphold our vision to maintain and promote a culture of equity and inclusion, we will include a demographics research section in the registration process, which will help us improve efforts to foster diversity at BBM. We will also award a number of scholarships for underrepresented minorities and undergraduate students in biomedical sciences. Please visit our scholarships page for more information on these awards.
We hope to create diversity, equity, and inclusion programming at BBM in future years to further our mission to provide a welcoming conference experience for all BBM attendees.
