Microbiology Career Guide for Undergraduates: empowering the next generation
September 27, 2023
Professional development for early career researchers helps to drive the process of science by giving researchers an opportunity to disseminate their research, get feedback and learn about new research tools and ideas. Professional development events play a vital role in equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their careers.
One of our Champions, Dr Michael Ukwuru, was awarded funding through the Society’s Champions Scheme and used it to organise a Microbiology Career Guide in Idah, Nigeria, for undergraduate students. This event offered valuable insights into the world of microbiology and provided a platform for students to explore diverse career opportunities. Below, Michael provides the highlights from the event and advice on organising successful professional development events.
