also understands microscopes and has been able to act as a service engineer and to trou- bleshoot problems with the microscopes. This has been an enduring and essential contri- bution by Henk. In addition to keeping the microscopes well-maintained,

is very
important that students and postdoctoral fellows are well- trained in use of the equip- ment. In many ways, it is sometimes more important for a user to know what not to do, rather than what to do,
and this has been Henk‘s method of instruction: first, what one should not do, and then what one should do to achieve an interpretable result. He is an expert in electron optical imaging, diffraction, and analytical techniques—a veritable microscopy guru. With this broad expertise he creates a huge advantage for users, the vast majority of whom go on to be employed in academia, industry, and national laboratories, having benefitted from Henk’s training.
Hildegard H. Crowley Award for Outstanding Technologist in the Biological Sciences Tis award annually honors a technologist from the bio-
logical sciences who has made significant contributions, such as the development of new techniques, that have contributed to the advancement of microscopy and microanalysis. A tech- nologist is defined as an individual whose primary role is in microscopy and microanalysis tool development or service. Established principal investigators/project managers are not eligible for this award.
Crowley Award: Janice Green Pennington Janice has 40 years of
Janice Green Pennington, Manager, 3D Cell Microscopy Facility, Univer- sity of Wisconsin, Madison
experience as an electron microscopist and has a bach- elor’s degree in Biology and a master’s degree in Botany from Oklahoma State Univer- sity (OSU). She spent her first eleven years as a microscopist in the core EM Facility at OSU and the last three years as the core manager and instructor of the laboratory portion of an electron microscopy course. She has held positions as a research electron microscopist at the University of Kentucky,
IU School of Medicine in Indianapolis, and Purdue Uni- versity. While working at the Purdue Cryo-EM Facility, she learned approaches for single-particle analysis for the study of virus particles and prepared high-pressure frozen samples in resin to study the replication complexes of Dengue virus

in S2 cells. Over the past nine years she has worked with Dr. Paul Ahlquist at the Institute for Molecular Virology at the University of Wisconsin and was instrumental in resolving the crown structure in the mitochondrial replication complex of a Nodavirus using cryo-electron tomography. During this time, she also worked with Dr. Marisa Otegui using high- pressure freezing, immunolabeling, and electron tomography to study endomembrane trafficking in plants. Janice was the Chair of the MSA Technologists’ Forum between 2018 and 2020 and has been a member of various Local Affiliated Soci- eties. She is currently the Manager of the 3D Cell Microscopy Facility in the Center for Quantitative Cell Imaging at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
Morton D. Maser Distinguished Service Award Tis award recognizes outstanding volunteer service to the
Microscopy Society of America as exemplified by Mort Maser, who served the Society for many years with great dedication. Tis award is made annually to honor an MSA member who has provided significant volunteer service to the Society over a sustained period of time.
Morton D. Maser Award: Edward P. Calomeni Ed Calomeni is currently
the Director of the Electron Microscopy Lab in the Depart- ment of Pathology at Te Ohio State University Medical Cen- ter. Ed has been a member of MSA for 36 years and has served on the Certification Board for 25 of
those years
as a committee member and as President. He has always helped to set up the Certifica- tion Board and Technologists’ Forum sections of
the MSA
MegaBooth at Microscopy & Microanalysis meetings and assists with unpacking and
repacking of the Education Committee library. Ed spends many hours sitting at the Certification Board section of the MegaBooth to answer questions about the EM Technologist certification process and other MSA-related events, including “talking up” MSA, the Certification program, and the Tech- nologists’ Forum while recruiting new members. Ed was on the Local Arrangements Committee for the 1997 M&M in Cleveland, OH, where he was tasked with the placement and maintenance of the daily meeting boards (outside the meet- ing rooms). He stepped in to chair an M&M session when the assigned chair was unable to attend, and he has also presented at a Technologists’ Forum symposium. Ed was a member of the Texas Society of EM, has held office in the Northwest Ohio Microscopy Society, served as President of the Microscopy Society of the Ohio River Valley and the Great Lakes EM con- sortium, and has been a member of the Technologists’ Forum since 1997 and of the Diagnostic & Biomedical Microscopy Focused Interest Group since 2015.
