Early-Career Systems Microbiology Scientists

Early-career scientists, especially those just stepping into their first independent roles, represent the tenacity of our creed to continue exploring the microbial world through structured questioning, testing, and observation. While sometimes confused with the epithet “young scientist,” which may represent people with either considerable or limited experience, those in their early career are just starting to craft their professional reputation. This is a most exciting time; all of us can remember that first time we sat down at a desk or bench and realized that for all intents and purposes we were now responsible for our own fate. Let loose from the comparative shackles of graduate school and postdoctoral martyrdom, this period in our growth as professional scientists often presents so many opportunities that it can be bewildering.
