Dear Martin, Alexis, John, Ardan and Sriram

Thanks very much for all your effort. Yes, the field is more exciting than ever!

I thought that folks might be amused to see the attached picture of Nigel, who has always had an affinity for ice and snow.

Perhaps this was already pointed out, but I noticed that Ernst Ruska wasn't identified in your map as having received a Nobel Prize, which he was awarded at the age of 80. In fact, his Ph.D. thesis in 1933, provided the conception for magnetic lenses.
https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1986/perspectives.html<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nobelprize.org%2Fnobel_prizes%2Fphysics%2Flaureates%2F1986%2Fperspectives.html&data=02%7C01%7Candreas.holzenburg%40utrgv.edu%7Cb702dfd52bb24960cf3a08d5f50ad6a4%7C990436a687df491c91249afa91f88827%7C0%7C0%7C636684349297689944&sdata=BDQVbojvOLlYwJRpmeakewsPqQZ2mTArF%2FjhO2Mkxgk%3D&reserved=0>

Ruska's brother Helmut, a physician, 'managed to convince his former medical professor, Richard Siebeck, director of the medical clinic at the Charité Hospital in Berlin, that his brother's invention was worth investing time and effort into. In an advisory opinion to the industry, dated October 2 1936, and three years after the completion of the prototype electron microscope, Siebeck described how Ruska's electron microscope could be of immense value to him, as it could advance research into the causes of disease, particularly infectious agents that couldn't be seen with a light microscope, such as those that cause smallpox, chickenpox, measles, mumps and influenza. "Success seems to me so close, that I am ready and willing to advise on medical research work and to collaborate by making available the resources of my institute," wrote Siebeck.'

So it seems that relevance to medical research was the driving force for Siemens to commercialize the electron microscope.  It has now come full circle with pharmas establishing cryoEM labs to pursue drug discovery.

For some reason I keep seeing the outline of a ribosome in your map. : )

All best wishes
Mark
