cryo-EM community on Twitter, Lucas Farnung (Harvard) expanded it to Krioses worldwide, then I expanded it to CryoARMs, Arcticas, Glacioses, Polaras/TF30s, cryo-FIB/SEMs, and 650 cryo-EM labs.</span></p>

resolution specimens or data, and to geographically catalogue all labs that perform research in the field of biological cryo-EM. Hopefully this resource allows all cryo-EM scientists to know what instruments and labs exist in their geographical locations of
interest so that they can plan their experiments more efficiently and go where they are treated best.</span></p>

or Twitter to add/fix anything. My apologies if I have missed your lab! Note: There is a search function in the map so you can quickly locate labs and equipment.</span></p>
