MeetingReport
Microscopy & Microanalysis exhibition entrance.
anniversary lecture in the biological sciences was to be given by Robert Glaeser, but unfortunately he suff ered a medical incident that kept him from attending. Fortunately, Ken Taylor, who coauthored seminal papers with Dr. Glaeser on high-resolution imaging of structures in frozen samples, was able to present a talk focused on that work and the development and future of cryo-EM. T e MSA 75 th anniversary lecture in the physical sciences titled “Smarter than an iPhone: the Emergence of the Modern Microscope” was given by Ondrej Krivanek. Dale Newbury gave the MAS 50 th anniversary lecture in analytical science titled “Microanalysis: What is it, Where did it come from, and Where is it going?” Finally, the IFES lecture marking the 50 th anniversary of the invention of the atom probe was given by John Panitz titled “T e Point Projection Microscope.” T ese special lectures opened the Tuesday through T ursday morning scientifi c sessions and attracted large crowds. T ere were four well-attended pre-meeting congresses. On Saturday, the inaugural Pre-meeting Congress for Early Career Professionals in Microscopy and Microanalysis was presented by the MSA Student Council. T e other three pre-meeting events took place on Sunday: “Focused Ion Beam
Applications and Equipment Developments,” “Smaller, Faster, Better: New Instrumentation for Electron Microscopy,” and “Understanding Radiation Beam-Damage During Cryo-, ETEM, Gas- and Liquid-Cell Electron Microscopy.” T e technical program of the meeting proper consisted of 36 symposia on analytical science, biological science, and physical science. T ere were many interesting posters presented each day during the meeting. One of the highlights of the meeting was the Prof. Gina Sosinsky Memorial Symposium “Imaging of Cellular Communications.” T is symposium was an opportunity to understand the impact Prof. Sosinsky had on her students and on the microscopy enterprise in general. Also a new tutorial focused on entrepreneurship and what it takes to go from a good idea to creating a company. T is well-attended tutorial spanned the gamut of topics related to building a microscopy-focused business from the ground up. Another highlight was the symposium on “Diamonds: From the Origins of the Universe to Quantum Sensing in Materials and Biological Science Applications” in honor of MSA’s 75 th Diamond Anniversary. In addition, a series of analytical sciences symposia highlighted the fi eld of atom probe microscopy ranging from instrumentation to data analysis. St. Louis graced us with wonderful weather and proved to be an excellent host city for M&M 2017. T ere were many great restaurants, attractions, and evening gathering places for continued discussion of the day’s presentations. Aſt er this success in 2017, it is time to look forward to 2018 when we hope to see you August 5–9 at M&M 2018 in Baltimore, Maryland.
