If you are aiming for mechanobiology scientists from resource-constrained regions, there are a few in Vietnam and Kazakhstan. Not sure about Africa though...

A year ago, global imaging leaders and funders met at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social to discuss #microscopy dissemination to underserved communities and the potential solutions. Are the challenges a misstep or a missed step? Here is the white paper to address that question. tinyurl.com/y6ycehzf

It often takes more than just technical validation to propel #microscopy technology to the end users. Here we detail the comprehensive stewardship model of the AIC (@aicjanelia.bsky.social) in "De-risking transformative microscopy technologies for broad adoption" tinyurl.com/4yat36ce πŸ§ͺ "

I am immensely excited and proud of the official launch of Imaging Southeast Asia (iSEA) yesterday. This is one of the fastest growing #microscopy communities I have witnessed across the globe! Check them out, and join at imagingsea.org πŸ§ͺ

Not only did I realize my dream of hiking on a glacier, I participated in the ritual of drinking from the Sólheimajâkull in Iceland! 😎
