Equality, diversity and inclusion

To ensure we live up to our core value of being welcoming to anyone interested in microbes, their effects and their uses, we know we need to continually improve our diversity and inclusion of historically marginalised communities.

Take a look at the sections below to find out more about what we are doing to create a more equal, diverse and inclusive Microbiology Society.
