[Claire Atkinson]

Hi All,


A reminder that the deadline for abstracts and early bird registration for
the MSC conference in Vancouver is two weeks away (April 15). More
information about the conference is below.


We hope to see you there!


Best,


Claire




The 2019 Microscopical Society of Canada (MSC) Annual meeting is an imaging
conference that will be held at the Life Sciences Centre in Vancouver
between May 22nd to May 24th. This conference will cover broad topics in
light and electron imaging technologies. An important training aspect of
this conference is to allow graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and
undergraduate students to gain exposure to new light and electron
microscopy technologies and to present their work. In addition to poster
session, trainees will be given opportunities to present short talks in
each of the six scientific symposia. Trainee awards for best talks and
posters will be selected by keynote speakers and principal investigators.



For the 2019 MSC Annual Meeting, we have invited an exciting list of
keynote speakers including:



Robert Glaeser - Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (

-one of the founding fathers of the cryo-EM field



Joshua Vaughan - University of Washington (

-tools development for high resolution fluorescence microscopy



Robert Campbell - University of Alberta

-tools development for live cell and tissue imaging



John Rubinstein - University of Toronto (

)

-internationally renowned expert in cryo-EM structural analysis of membrane
proteins and protein complexes



Yasushi Okada - RIKEN (

-developer of super resolution microscopy imaging hardware and approaches



Tamir Gonen - UCLA (http://www.biolchem.ucla.edu/people/faculty/tamir-gonen)

-developer of MicroED approach for rapid structural determination of small
molecules and proteins





Abstract submission deadline will be March 30th, 2019, Early bird
registration deadline will be April 15th, 2019. By securing sponsorships
from academic units as well as different vendors, we have managed to keep
the registration relatively low (starting at $250 for students/postdocs).
