[3dem] Fwd: What Does a 21st Century Electron Microscopist Look Like? Help Us Find Out

[Shahzad, Saba]

Dear EM Community, 

Thank you all who took time to share your thoughts and experiences through the Survey. 
For others, if you are an Electron microscopist and have one-minute available, kindly add a data point to the results. We’re all curious to better understand the demographics of our field.

> Have you ever thought how will the 21st century electron microscopist be remembered?
> Will the image reflect the diversity, passion, and innovation truly shaping our field—or something more limited?
> 
> To find out, we’re inviting the global electron microscopy community to take part in a short, anonymous survey that explores the demographics and identities behind the science.
> 
> Do you see yourself represented in EM?
> What does inclusion look like in our profession?
> Is your story part of a broader shift in the field?

> 💡 Curious what AI thinks an electron microscopist looks like?
> The microscope may be off—but what about the person?
