Dear fellow Imaging Scientists,

As representatives of the North American imaging community, we (Claire,
Meredith, Leong, Rich, Kevin, Alison, Simon and Chris) are officially
announcing the creation of BioImaging North America (BINA), and the
activation of its website _https://www.bioimagingna.org/
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.bioimagingna.org_&d=DwMGaQ&c=JeTkUgVztGMmhKYjxsy2rfoWYibK1YmxXez1G3oNStg&r=RBx0-WJrAO5vwSOLNmFbqYvikvIZS5ns3-USwvMOuLo&m=LdEthPt_qzfB8LN90OjZJRQM8CC-fM-xcMclbGFxs4c&s=KpNbVnlpMfA5yNJra8Ynvg0VeMHoZxFi6P5yiyl-xeE&e=>_ (still
a work in progress).

Many of you may already be aware of this new network, whose broad goal
is to better integrate the imaging community across the North American
continent (Canada, the USA and Mexico), and to link up with similar
networks already established across many countries worldwide, as well as
globally (Global BioImaging).Like these other networks, our aim is to
increase collaboration, cooperation and interaction between facilities,
staff scientists, faculty, post-docs and students that live in the world
of imaging for the life sciences.  Our areas of interest include:

·Facilitating the sharing of rare or unique resources;

·Coordinating exchange schemes for staff scientists between centers to
promote training, equipment testing and technique development;

·Organizing microscopy-focused meetings, workshops and courses, both
regional and national, for education and exchange of experience;

·Supporting career development of imaging scientists.

We will undoubtedly be drawing on the considerable experience of our
friends and colleagues in other worldwide imaging consortia to kickstart
this community effort in a way that is most beneficial to all.

As we will submit grants to support the development of the network soon,
*we hope you will choose to join BINA today* and demonstrate your
enthusiasm for this exciting new endeavor!To join, please fill out a
simple form via the following link:

We also strongly encourage you to send us information about upcoming
courses and meetings that can be posted on the BINA site (via the
Activities page).

With thanks and best wishes from us all,

The BINA Executive Committee

Claire Brown (McGill, Montreal, Canada)
Meredith Calvert (Gladstone Institutes, USA)
Teng-Leong Chew (HHMI Janelia Research Campus, USA)
Richard Cole (Wadsworth Center/Albany, USA)
Kevin Eliceiri (U. Wisconsin, Madison, USA)
Alison North (Rockefeller University, USA)
Simon Watkins (U. Pittsburgh, USA)
Chris Wood (UNAM, Mexico)

Congratulations all ye and all the best wishes for the years to come and
that your community will grow well. Everything one wants to achieve
starts with a wee step into teh unkown land ahead and some time in
future you'll look back and surely will be amazed!

Best wishes from the other side of the big pond
