We would like to extend an open invitation to all SASM members to make contributions to our blog. Let's embark on a crowd-sourcing exercise for new content, if you like!  All that is required for blog articles is a one pager (1 X A4) with sound scientific writing and some eye-catching photographs or graphics. The content could be “almost anything” microbiology-related, for example:

During the #SASM2013 Conference, all participants are invited to post opinions, reports, and feedback on the meeting’s Twitter Wall.

Simply tweet using your laptop or smartphone using the official conference hashtag: #SASM2013.

How do people use Twitter at conferences? Here is a list:

1. Share highlights of a interesting topic that was presented.
2. Share resources about a topic presented, i.e. an interesting web link, pdf article etc.
3. Ask a question about a topic or conference event.
4. Share your conference experience.

Lastly, keep the content of the tweets as relevant as possible. The Twitterwall is extremely useful for people who cannot physically attend the conference to follow whats happening at #SASM2013.

One of the objectives of SASM as a society is to enhance access to knowledge in the various microbiological disciplines and all areas in which it may be applied and to create channels of communication between our members who share common interests. In an effort to accomplish this, we maintain a blog updated with regular SASM-related news. We also interact with our members via several social media channels including Twitter, Facebook or Google+.
