Hello!

namsmicroscopy.com/meeting-registration

We are very excited about the turnout, and we need to finalize counts!

Vendor talk spots are filled!  Light Microscopy lightning talks are
filled.  *There is still room EM/Materials speakers!!!*  Speakers attend
free!

We have over 20 posters, but more is better!  Poster presenters attend free!

*Almost 20 vendors!  **See what the newest technology is and how it can
increase your productivity.*

This is a great opportunity to share your research with others in the
region, see what others are doing, and meet the people that are doing it.

*Discover how to bridge angstrom to micron!*

*Deadline has been extended to Oct. 22nd* because we mistakenly placed it
on a Saturday.

Spring Symposium confirmed at Rockefeller!


*original announcement below;*


Hello!



For registration,  namsmicroscopy.com/meeting-registration


We are very proud and excited to announce the formation of a new society,
The North Atlantic Microscopy Society (NAMS). Geographically centered at
Princeton, NJ, we envision our coverage to span southern New York, New
Jersey and into Pennsylvania. NAMS was born not simply because we noticed a
distinct gap in regional cohesion. But because we are passionate about
microscopy in all its forms and believe that we are not alone.



Edwin Hubble famously said, “Equipped with his five senses, man explores
the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.” We believe that
some of this exploratory instinct has been muted lately by our disciplinary
silos. Individually, we have become exceptional in our specialties and do
not take moments to appreciate the many discoveries happening across the
entire spectrum of science.



Our mission is to bridge these silos through the lens of microscopy. We
seek to achieve this mission by promoting microscopy education, stimulating
networking among microscopists, and disseminating microscopy knowledge and
skills to the public in the region.



Our first Symposium will be held at Princeton University on November 1,
2018.  We are planning bi-annual symposia, with the fall event always held
at Princeton, and the spring event held at rotating locations throughout
the region (April '19 confirmed, being held at Rockefeller University). We
are also planning smaller satellite meetings throughout the academic year.
Registration payment covers symposium and satellite meetings.



Please see below for schedule.  We have a full day planned!



And, if you present a poster or a 5 minute lightning talk, the event is
FREE!!!
