Nanotech debate at microscopy conference
World-leading authorities on nanotechnology, plus media and environmental campaigners, will debate this hot topic at the Microscience conference in London in July
Life and materials microscopists can submit more than one entry and there will be first, second, and third prizes for the best light and electron microscopy micrographs.
The winners will all be announced on the last day of the exhibition.
The deadline for entries is 30 June 2004, and microscopy users from all disciplines are urged to submit their entries as soon as possible.
Chris Hawes, who will take over the presidency of the RMS at the end of next year's conference and exhibition, will be one of the judges.
Hawes is based at Oxford Brookes University, UK, specialising in plant cell biology and microscopy and currently working with fluorescent proteins to unravel the complexities of membrane organisation within cells.
"We are fortunate to be able to draw on our list of internationally invited speakers in the deliberations over which entries deserve a winning place," says Hawes.
"From entries we have had in the past, I have no doubt that the debates will be very interesting." As well as Chris Hawes, one other member of the judging panel has been announced: the current president of the RMS, John Hutchison, who is based at the department of materials at the University of Oxford.
