[3dem] Microscopy & Microanalysis M&M 2022, Portland, OR (Paper submission deadline Thursday Feb. 17, 2022 - No Extension this year)

[Rice, William]

Dear Colleagues,

The deadline for paper submission for Microscopy & Microanalysis M&M2021 that will be held in Pittsburgh, PA from July 31- August 4 2022, is Thursday Feb. 17, 11:59 PM US Pacific. Check the instructions, submissions are easier this year and paper format simpler than in earlier years. We look forward to reading your abstracts. Here is the link for the submission website:

The detailed paper submission instructions are attached.

The meeting is currently scheduled as an in person meeting. However, depending on the COVID-19 conditions it might shift to a virtual meeting. MSA and MAS Leadership will keep us up to date on the developments. Please state your presentation preference (in-person or fully virtual) during the submission process.

We would like to bring to your attention a few symposia of interest at the upcoming M&M 2022.

• Molecular modeling

B01 - Microcrystal Electron Diffraction (MicroED)
Organizers: Brent Nannenga and Tamir Gonen
• MicroED is capable of using microcrystals for high-resolution structure determination
• Can be applied towards a variety of samples, from biological to inorganic materials
• Session will focus on applications and advanced methods development.

B03 - Technical advances in Cryo-EM
Organizers: Mike Marko, Christopher Russo and Anchi Cheng.
• Application of low-dose STEM methods

• Appropriate application of Micro-ED

B05 - Challenges and Advances in Electron Microscopy Research and Diagnosis of Diseases in Humans, Plants and Animals (FIG associated)
Organizers: Claudia Lopez, Marcela Redigolo and Joe Mowery.
• Enhancement of sample preparation workflow for EM analysis of complex tissue for diagnosis or research
• Application of advanced or innovative EM techniques to study host-pathogen interactions, virulence factors and ultrastructural changes
• Ultrastructural characterization of diseases including the use of organoids, xenografts and animal models
• Novel approaches and applications for correlative or hybrid microscopy

B09 - Memorial Symposium: Shinya Inoue
Organizers: David Piston and Simon Watkins

There are also interesting short courses Sunday before the meeting and tutorials during the meeting, check it out.

This is a great educational and networking meeting for the entire microscopy community. Students can benefit from a reduced registration fee ($50.00), as well as Post-doctoral researchers ($195.00), and both will have ample opportunities to receive awards either before the meeting (make sure to check the corresponding box during submission) or during the poster session (for students).
