The American Society for Virology was founded in 1981 to provide a forum for investigators of human, animal, insect, plant, fungal, and bacterial viruses, whether the research involves clinical, ecological, biological, or biochemical approaches. The stated aim of the Society is to promote the exchange of information and stimulate discussion and collaboration among scientists active in all aspects of virology. These goals are achieved by means of meetings organized or sponsored by the Society, obtaining for the members reduced subscription rates for virological journals, soliciting travel grants to attend national and international meetings and representation on national and international councils.

Education and Career Development Workshop

Tales from the Trenches:
Surprising Factors in Scientific Success

Convenor:  Rebecca E. Dutch, University of Kentucky

Intelligence, creativity and hard-work are clearly crucial to a successful career in science, but other factors can also have significant impact. The Education and Career Development Committee presents a workshop focused on surprising factors which can strongly influence scientific careers. The three speakers will discuss unexpected factors which shaped their careers, providing both helpful advice and a glimpse of the struggles encountered on the path to becoming an established scientist. This special session is principally aimed at graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, although anyone registered for the meeting is welcome to attend. The workshop will be highly interactive and will offer time for discussion and questions.
