A message from SEMS President, Russ Goddard.
The Southeastern Microscopy Society would like to invite you to join us for the Society's 51st Annual meeting to be held May 20-22, 2015. The meeting will be held at the Courtyard Marriott hotel in downtown Decatur, GA located at 130 Clairemont Avenue. Further, I would encourage you and your students to consider submitting an abstract for a poster or platform presentation at the meeting.
All information regarding the meeting can be found on the SEMS website. Please visit
http://southeasternmicroscopy.org/2015-meeting / for registration and the Call for Papers. All abstracts should be submitted by April 17. Students should be encouraged to present their research through the Ruska competition. Ruska participants receive meeting registration, housing at the meeting hotel (applicants must be willing to share a room with other students), a banquet ticket, and a certificate of participation. The first place Ruska Award winner will receive the Ruska Award plaque and $300.00 at the SEMS banquet. This is great opportunity for students!
The Invited speakers will be Dale Newbury, with NIST; Lucille Giannuzzi, with L.A. Giannuzzi & Associates; and Peter Kner, with the University of Georgia. In addition, Robert Simmons from Georgia State University has agreed to talk about Microscopy and Art for the banquet.
The meeting will start Wednesday, May 20, with workshops and technical talks. Wednesday evening we will have the Mixer and poster session starting at 6 PM. Thursday's schedule contains invited and submitted presentations and opportunities to visit our vendors. The Banquet will be Thursday evening. Plan to attend the Business Breakfast on Friday morning and finish off attending some final presentations, with the meeting ending at noon.
Hotel rooms will cost $129 + tax, and reservations can be made at
