Follow-up from last week: people have asked what labs are good and bad on the cryoEM map. I’ve only experienced working with a handful, of course. But the community as a whole has a massive amount of constructive knowledge. So let’s help each other with this
question.</div>

Hundreds of researchers use our facility yearly, exposing me to a wide range of PIs who manage in good ways and bad ways. Some are inspirational, some are toxic. I want our cryoEM field to maximize inspirational PIs and minimize toxic PIs. Same goes for institutes.
Let’s use the cryoEM map to help match researchers with PIs and institutes; find a place where you're treated well. My lists of inspirational and toxic PI qualities:</div>

On a related topic, I think the academic model of research is significantly inefficient: Excessive time is spent on grants/funding and bureaucracy instead of using our creativity and skills to pursue research and passions. While rare, private funding sometimes
creates positions that allow researchers to focus primarily on their research and passions. What positions in the cryoEM world provide such research freedom? Are there institutes interested in funding research positions? And how we increase the number of these
positions? (perhaps some readers might be interested in funding/contributing to them.) I'm interested in everyone's thoughts.</div>

<li style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); direction: ltr;">For some Krioses, Glacioses, and Arcticas, I only know the city they are in instead of their exact locations. If you know the exact locations for any of these, please email me.</li><li style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); direction: ltr;">If you work at JEOL and have a list of sub-4 angstrom instruments (CryoARMs, 3200s, etc) to anonymously share with me, please email me.</li><li style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); direction: ltr;">If you have a microscope on order that is not listed, especially Tundras, please email me.</li><li style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); direction: ltr;">Feel free to email me a list of general cryo-EM equipment at your institute if it's not on the map already.</li><li style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); direction: ltr;">Any missing instruments or labs, and general feedback of course!<br>

to always support each other - there are many more cryo-EM projects than there are people to do them.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">A few years ago, Wen Jiang (Purdue) started a cryo-EM google map of Krioses in the USA. With the help of the 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>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The idea is to geographically catalogue all cryo-EM instruments that are capable of routinely producing near-atomic 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>

There is a search function in the map so you can quickly locate labs and equipment.</span></p>
