Welcome to members who joined us in March and April

19 members joined ABSW in the last two months. Shareen Haywood already volunteered to write the news piece “What happens when science goes wrong?”, based on an ABSW event she attended, and Joseph Macdonald met the board and other members at the Annual General Meeting, the first ABSW event he was taking part in.

New (and old) members can let themselves be known through our Directory of ABSW members or by attending our online and in-person events or meet-ups. To update your profile, log in to our website, go to My Account and add Personal details. Questions can be addressed to the ABSW email.

ABSW has full, associate and student members. All members share the same benefits: free or discounted events, training and networking sessions, a members directory, access to scientific journals, and more.

Join ABSW here!
