EDUCATIONAL TOURS
Inspiring future microbiologists through exploration, hands-on learning, and real-world scientific experiences!
At the Puerto Rico Society of Microbiologists, we believe that meaningful learning happens when science is experienced firsthand. Our educational tours create opportunities for students and professionals to engage directly with the laboratories, industries, and innovators advancing microbiology in Puerto Rico. By fostering these connections, we enrich our community, promote collaboration, and encourage the next generation of scientific leaders.
