General Information
ASM Teleconferences are one-hour, in-depth learning opportunities reaching hundreds of microbiologists with just one telephone call. Each teleconference is an interactive live broadcast involving groups of people from many facilities in several time zones. Without ever leaving your laboratory or office, you can learn from expert scientists and key decision-makers thousands of miles away. In this participatory session, you can listen to other microbiologists' questions, as well as get immediate answers to your own questions.  All teleconferences begin at 1:00 pm Eastern Time.
