Here is a brief listing of the events in 2025 where the Electron Microscopy Center (EMC) has had some sort of presence. This includes classes and presentations made on the IUB campus as well as attendance and participation at regional and national meetings. This listing includes facility tours that are associated with specific IUB courses. Other tours are listed here.
Outreach Efforts in 2025
Classes
- L313 (Cell Biology Laboratory, Spring Semester)
Barry Stein gave tours of the Myers Hall EMC area, specifically the JEOL 1010 and the ultramicrotomes. The course was organized by Dr. Karen Whitworth in Biology. - Z620 & B680 (Electron Microscopy, Spring Semester)
Barry Stein and David Morgan taught an eight week graduate level course on biological electron microscopy. The course was held the second half of the spring semester and is designed so that students can take a separate eight week course on light microscopy (taught by Prof. Sid Shaw and Andras Kun). - M435 (Viral Tissue Culture Laboratory, Fall Semester)
Barry Stein gave tours of the Myers Hall EMC area, specifically the JEOL 1010 and the ultramicrotomes. The course was organized by Prof. Suchetana Mukhopadhyay in Biology. - L313 (Cell Biology Laboratory, Fall Semester)
Barry Stein gave tours of the Myers Hall EMC area, specifically the JEOL 1010 and the ultramicrotomes. The course was organized by Dr. Karen Whitworth in Biology. - M316 (Molecular Biology Laboratory, Fall Semester)
Barry Stein gave tours of the Myers Hall EMC area, specifically the JEOL 1010 and the ultramicrotomes. The course was organized by Prof. Julia van Kessel in Biology.
Meetings
- July 24 - August 1
David Morgan and Jun Chen attended the 2025 Microscopy and Microanalysis (M&M) meeting in Salt Lake City, UT. - October 22-24
David Morgan attended the annual meeting of the Mid-West Association of Core Directors (MWACD) in Madison, WI. MWACD is the midwest chapter of ABRF (the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities), an international organization that brings together administrators, directors and staff of core facilities involved in biological research at various universities, research institutes and companies. This year's annual meeting included tours of facilities at UW-Madison and an opening reception in the nearby Kornberg Center on the Promega campus.
Presentations
- May 6
David Morgan gave a guest lecture in Prof. Marc Morais's B680 course (Biological CryoEM) on the power of coherent diffraction in images acquired using the electron microscope. - October 22
David Morgan chaired and also presented a segment of a session on information technology/cyberinfractructre in research facilities at the annual meeting of the Mid-West Association of Core Directors (MWACD) in Madison, WI.
