T e Microscopy Society of America (MSA), the Microanalysis Society
(MAS), and the International
Metallographic Society (IMS) invite you to Microscopy & Microanalysis 2016 in Columbus, Ohio, July 24 through July 28, 2016. T is is the fi rst time that our conference has visited this city, and we are sure to have a great meeting. For M&M 2016 the Program Committee asked the membership to suggest symposia for the meeting, and many of these have been incorporated into M&M 2016. Once again, attendees can be assured that the latest in applications of and instrumentation for microscopy, in both the physical and biological sciences, will be presented during the technical sessions. The M&M 2016 meeting will feature two plenary speakers, 35+ symposia covering a broad range of topics, and numerous educational opportunities in the form of courses, tutorials, pre-meeting events, and two pre-meeting congresses.
We are excited to have two plenary lecturers from overseas. Drew Berry is a biomedical animator at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Victoria, Australia. Drew has exhibited animations at the Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, the Royal Institute of Great Britain, and the University of Geneva. In 2010 he received a MacArthur Fellowship “Genius Grant.” Drew creates scientifi cally accurate and aesthetically pleasing visualizations that

medicine, engineering, and materials science. His programs on BBC TV have reached millions of viewers in 200 countries. He is the author of Stuff Matters , which won the 2014 Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books. This should be an interesting and entertaining opening session. T is year we have a symposium that honors the memory of a true leader in the use of microscopy in materials science research. T e “Dr. Gareth T omas Symposium: Materials Solutions through Microscopy” will recognize the many contributions of the late Dr. Gareth T omas for his work in materials and electron microscopy. T is symposium dovetails nicely with many of the other symposia that investigate the limits and applications of microscopy. Instrumentation and techniques symposia relate to both physical and life sciences. Examples include the always popular Vendor Symposium, where instrument developers and builders showcase new developments and improved products, as well as topics like focused ion beam, transmission electron microscopy phase plate imaging, X-ray imaging, advanced analytical electron microscopy, surface and subsurface microscopies, qualitative analysis, scanning diff raction techniques, scanning microscopy developments, high-resolution microscopies, in-situ electron microscopy, and atom probe tomography.
Prof. Mark Miodownik from University College London
Physical science symposia at M&M 2016 will focus on analysis of various materials. Topics include but are not limited to the following: microscopy of electrochemical power systems, combining materials simulations and experiments, nuclear and irradiated materials, microscopy of thin fi lms,
