Urmil Dave receives American Society for Microbiology Fellowship

Urmil Dave in the Nelson Laboratory has been selected as a fellow in the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Future Leaders Mentorship Fellowship (FMLF) program. This is a 2-year program that matches doctoral students from historically excluded communities in the microbial sciences with experts (mentors) across varied career sectors with a goal to prepare them to engage in leadership roles and opportunities within ASM and connect with ASM student local chapters and scientific communities. As an ASM FLMF Fellow, he’ll participate in a robust 2-year experience, for formal and informal experiences that will help fellows develop new skills, including leadership and professional development, forming collaborations, and participate in group and 1:1 structured mentoring and career training sessions hosted by ASM mentors and external partners. Urmil will be awarded complimentary registration and housing to attend the ASM Microbe 2024 meeting in Atlanta, GA and receive a stipend to cover travel and other expenses.
