On behalf of the BSMT, Dr Mark Wilks provides a preview of the upcoming webinar scientific programme, to be held over four days in May (11-14 May 2021).
One of the striking aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic is that we all became experts first on virology, then epidemiology and now vaccines. Possession of an armchair and a laptop seemed to be enough to allow anyone and everyone to pronounce authoritatively on the current pandemic.
The approach of the British Society for Microbial Technology (BSMT) is a bit different. The aim of this year’s Annual Scientific Conference is to assemble acknowledged experts in their fields to give us authoritative overviews of their particular specialism and their contribution to controlling the pandemic. We have spread the meetings over four days, limiting the talks to two per day, allowing plenty of time for the presentations and discussion. We recognise that most people will not be able to listen at fixed times so the talks also will be available to view after the official online event.
