Dear Colleagues and EM fans,
The Netherlands Electron Microscopy Infrastructure (NEMI) team is excited to announce the annual NEMI Event, which will be held on November 25th, 13:00-16.15 on Zoom. We want to bring together the different EM disciplines united in NEMI, highlight the work of young scientists and create a platform for collaboration and exchange. We start with two interdisciplinary keynote lectures, followed by a presentation of the NEMI Courses & Outreach team, an online poster session, and the presentation of the first NEMI photo award.
Program
13.00-13.15 Introduction + welcome by Judith Klumperman
13.15-13.45 Keynote talk by Ute Kaiser (Ulm University, Germany)
13.45-14.15 Keynote talk by Gaia Pigino (Max-Planck Institute Dresden, Germany)
14.15-14.30 Short Break
14.30-14.45 NEMI courses and Introduction virtual EM-science platform
14.45-16.00 Poster session with pitches
16.00-16.15 Photo award + Closing
We are proud to present our keynote speakers:
Prof. Dr. Ute Kaiser is Head of the Materials Science EM group and leading the SALVE (Sub-Ångström Low Voltage Electron microscopy) project with Thermo Fisher Scientific and CEOS on the development of CC/CS corrected TEM. This unique TEM delivers atomic resolution in the voltage range from 20 to 80 kV and enables investigation of beam-sensitive materials. Applications include 2D materials and their defects, low-loss EELS, metal-carbon interactions in CNT, battery materials, 2D organic crystals and graphene liquid cells, and direct imaging of single peptide molecules. Ute is a frequently invited speaker at international conferences, a highly cited researcher and Honorary Professor of the University of Nottingham.
Dr. Gaia Pigino is group leader at the MPI in Dresden, where she uses cryo-EM and electron tomography to reveal the structural basis of flagella and cilia assembly and motility, which play important roles in motility and sensory functions of eukaryotic cells. Defects in ciliary assembly and function lead to a wide range of human diseases, called ciliopathies. Her work stands out by the elegant integration of different electron and light microscopy modalities to elucidate the molecular basis of cilia function. Gaia was identified by the prestigious Journal of Cell Science as ‘Cell Scientist to watch’ and her work is internationally widely admired.
Register for the NEMI Event at: https://forms.gle/SnZLucC8f2kS6TALA. Registration is free of charge and all interested parties are welcome. The online poster session is open for submissions for all PhDs and Postdocs: deadline November 20th, see for more details registration form.
Do not forget to send you application to the NEMI Photo Competition! The best pictures will be published in the NEMI calendar 2021, which is bound to become a collector’s item. Deadline for submission is November 13th.
Don’t miss this chance to meet your colleagues and learn about the latest highlights and developments on your favorite instrument. Spread the word and extend this invitation to your contacts, colleagues and other interested parties!
