The Department has an organization of undergraduates, ASMUW, which is open to all students!
We are the American Society for Microbiology - UW Chapter!
We are dedicated to sharing microbiology topics across campus to connect people and subject areas together. We host professional speakers from the field and highlight opportunities for students to learn further about microbiology at UW and the Seattle area. Closer to campus, ASMUW organizes study sessions for MICROM classes, wet lab events, and research workshops for educating curious students. Anyone is welcome to participate, regardless of your major or experience.
You can follow ASMUW's socials on our Linktree, https://linktr.ee/asmuwchapter, or contact us at microph AT uw.edu with any questions!
ASMUW was originally founded as the Microphiles Club. In 2018 the Microphiles Journal was established as a place to showcase the diversity of microbiology to all audiences while providing an opportunity for students to develop their skills in scientific communication. Since then we have published several outstanding issues of the Journal, and are currently working on our next one.
