Student Research Forum
Co-chairs: Robert A.
Koch and Andrew Z. Mason
The future of Microscopy & Microanalysis meetings depends on the involvement of the coming generation of scientists. This forum is designed to offer current undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to present their research in a collegial environment designed to foster peer interactions. This forum welcomes a wide scope of presentations. We anticipate two half-day sessions, one for physical and one for biological presentations, coupled to special student poster sessions. By promoting a broad influx of ideas and talents from a range of diverse fields in microscopy and microanalysis, this inclusive forum aims to generate dialogue between the current and the future users and leaders in these technologies. Opportunities to meet vendors and attend special tours through the exhibit hall are planned in association with this forum. (This forum also serves as the 2001 California State University Microscopy Colloquium.)
PLEASE NOTE: Significant funding has been made available to help cover registration for student participating in the STUDENT RESEARCH FORUM. By submitting a paper and indicating SESSION 19 as your primary choice, students will automatically be considered for competitive awarding of these funds. Notification of award will occur by mid-April. To qualify, the student must be the first and presenting author on the paper. Faculty advisors may co-author the paper.
All research using light microscopy, confocal microscopy, electron microscopy and microanalytical methodologies are eligible. Please encourage all your students to submit a paper. The deadline for abstract submission is FEBRUARY 15, 2001.
