Attention
Students:
The Arizona Imaging and Microanalysis Society (AIMS) annual meeting is
scheduled for Thursday March 24th at the University
of Arizona, in the South Ballroom of the Memorial Student Union. The
complete schedule can be found at http://www.azmicroscopy.org/conferences.php.
We would like to invite any undergraduate or graduate student who uses
microscopy to visualize their research to present a poster at the conference.
There will be 4 poster awards ($150 each) and each student will also be awarded
a Digital Microscope from Park Systems. Poster sessions will be from
10:00-11:00 am and at 1:00-2:00 pm but you are encouraged to attend the
conference throughout the day! You can submit your registration online at http://azmicroscopy.org/membership-account/membership-levels/.
Your student membership, only $5, will pay for your admission to the
conference and meals at the event. You can pay the membership fee at the check
in table on the day of the conference or mail a check in advance to the address
listed online. You must register in
advance to enter the poster
competition and to have admission to the conference and luncheon. I will
need a final copy of your poster abstract by Wednesday March 16th to be included in the
conference program. Below I have listed the poster guidelines and
evaluation criteria for the competition. Please feel free to contact me if you
have any questions: bbeam@email.arizona.edu

Thank you to for
donation of the Digital Microscopes to student poster award winners!
Thanks!
