<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#222222">We are very proud and excited to announce the formation of a new society, The North Atlantic Microscopy Society (NAMS). Geographically centered at Princeton,
NJ, we envision our coverage to span southern New York, New Jersey and into Pennsylvania. NAMS was born not simply because we noticed a distinct gap in regional cohesion. But because we are passionate about microscopy in all its forms and believe that we are
not alone. </span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#222222">Edwin Hubble famously said, “Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.” We believe that some of this
exploratory instinct has been muted lately by our disciplinary silos. Individually, we have become exceptional in our specialties and do not take moments to appreciate the many discoveries happening across the entire spectrum of science.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#222222">Our mission is to bridge these silos through the lens of microscopy. We seek to achieve this mission by promoting microscopy education, stimulating networking
among microscopists, and disseminating microscopy knowledge and skills to the public in the region.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#222222">Our first Symposium will be held at Princeton University on November 1, 2018. We are planning bi-annual symposia, with the fall event always held at Princeton,
and the spring event held at rotating locations throughout the region (April '19 tentatively being held at Rockefeller University). We are also planning smaller satellite meetings throughout the academic year. Registration payment covers both symposium and
satellite meetings.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
