2025 Three Dimensional Electron Microscopy (3DEM) Gordon Research Seminar</a>! The GRS will be held on June 14-15, 2025 at Sunday River, Maine, USA. This seminar will immediately precede the 3DEM GRC and is a great platform for early career researchers
</span><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">to present their work, share cutting-edge ideas, and foster collaborations with peers in a supportive environment.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">The focus of the 2025 GRS will be novel approaches in Cryo-Electron Microscopy and Tomography, emphasizing recent advances in hardware and software that enable
in situ structural biology. These developments have expanded opportunities to address complex biological questions using multimodal cryo-EM techniques which we will aim to highlight during the meeting. Through engaging sessions and mentorship, attendees can
discuss challenges, share solutions, and build networks within the community. </span></p>

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">While applications to the GRC and GRS are independent, we will do our best to accommodate as many GRS attendees in the GRC as well.
<b>We especially encourage trainees from underrepresented groups and countries outside of North America and Europe to apply</b></span><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"><b>.</b> Moreover, we hope to be able to provide
some financial support to students and postdocs attending the GRS.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">To ensure ample time for visa applications for attendees outside of the United States, we strongly advise that applications are sent in by Sunday, January 19th, 2025. While we will
continue to evaluate applications after this deadline, we will start making acceptances in the upcoming weeks. Please also make sure to provide an update abstract if you have not done so already.</span></p>
