MSA 2020 Awards
based on a multi-slice method with frozen phonon approxi- mation, dynamic electron diffraction calculations based on Bloch wave method with structure factors, and atomic posi- tion refinement. With a multi-slice algorithm he did the first atomic-resolution SEM simulation and solved the contrast reversal puzzle in annular dark-field (ADF) images in STEM.
Morton D. Maser Distinguished Service Award Tis award recognizes outstanding volunteer service to the
MSA as exemplified by Mort Maser, who served the Society for many years with great dedication. Tis award is made annu- ally to honor an MSA member who has provided significant volunteer service to the Society over a sustained period of time.
Maser Award: John Shields John Shields has been a dedicated MSA volunteer for
more than two decades. His first roles were on the Education Committee and at the M&M Program Production Meetings, where the M&M annual meeting is planned. However, perhaps

his most important service has
been in MSA publica-
tions, where he has served as Editor-in-Chief of the M&M Meeting Proceedings; Managing Editor of the Society journal, Microscopy and Microanalysis; and as an editorial columnist for Microscopy Today. Many may know John better as Dr. Abbe’s dedicated assistant for the long-running Microscopy Today column, Dear Abbe. John’s willingness to serve MSA continues to expand, and he is also slated to assume the duties
of Chair of the Archives Committee in the near future. John’s willingness to volunteer his time and expertise exemplifies dedication to the MSA.
MSA Fellows Te designation MSA Fellow is intended to recognize those who have been conferred the Society’s Distinguished Scientist
Awards, as well as senior distinguished members of the Society who have been a member of the Society for at least 10 years and have made significant contributions to the advancement of the field of microscopy and microanalysis through a combination of scien- tific achievement, service to the scientific community, and the Society itself. Election to MSA Fellow is highly selective and repre- sents a broad cross section of the MSA membership. Te number of MSA members elected to Fellowship each year is restricted to no more than 0.5% of the total MSA membership. For each Fellow, the nominating statement supporting their award is italicized followed by a short summary of their service to the MSA or microscopy research community.
2020 MSA Fellows with Nominating Statement
Ian M. Anderson, Summer- field Research Institute.
Ian M. Anderson: For his long-term and tireless efforts at MSA, including the initiation of the Student Council, a path for the future of the Society. For his scientific contributions to HREM, AEM, spectroscopy, elemental map- ping, and atom probe analysis. Ian also served as the M&M 2004 Program Chair and as a long-standing MSA Council member, including six years as Secretary and President in 2017.
Elizabeth C. Dickey, Depart- ment Head and Teddy and Wilton Hawkins Distin- guished Professor, Materials Science and Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University.
Elizabeth C. Dickey: For her out- standing microscopy contributions to the understanding of oxide nanostruc- tures and their relevance to diverse fields including catalysis, fuel-cells and structural mechanics. Beth’s work has been cited more than 14,000 times, with several papers having more than 500 citations each. She also has a long record of service to MSA, including as a Director, and is now the Editor- in-Chief of Elements, which is a new digital publication of MSA.
