REGISTER NOW
(Zoom Link: https://northwestern.zoom.us/s/97516444117)
The Microscopy Society of America Student Council and Northwestern University’s NUANCE center, are excited to be co-hosting a FREE half-day conference to highlight women in microscopy in honor of International Women's Day!
Please join us for research talks and panels, featuring a keynote from Dr. Ilke Arslan, Director of the Center for Nanoscale Materials and the Nanoscience and Technology division at Argonne National Laboratory.
Talks will highlight a diverse range of topics including cryo-EM, magnetism, and quantum imaging. Our career panels will be comprised of vendors, lab managers, and researchers from both academic and federal labs who can provide insight on working in microscopy.
All are welcome and encouraged to attend! We hope you can join us for our celebration of women in microscopy!
