For over 20 years, the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS) – recipient of the 2019 AIMBE Excellence in STEM Education Award – has been the go-to conference for historically excluded community college, undergraduate and postbaccalaureate students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. As ABRCMS has continued to grow and evolve, it has also become a space for graduate students, postdocs, faculty, program administrators and more.
Plan to join us for ABRCMS 2024, taking place in-person, Nov. 13-16 in Pittsburgh, PA.
What Is ABRCMS?
To move the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) forward, it’s crucial that there is more diversity, which means the inclusion of those who have been historically marginalized from working in these fields. The first ABRCMS hosted by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) in 2001, was founded to encourage minority, first-generation, veteran, and disabled students to pursue higher education in STEM. Recently, ABRCMS has expanded to include:
- a hybrid conference,
- an ePoster Spring Symposium for Emerging Scientists,
- a Graduate Symposium,
- and ABRCMS365.
