AI and ML for Microscopy - Hackathon

AI and ML for Microscopy - Hackathon

December 16, 2024| Hybrid -- On site location: IAMM HQ Building, Room 147, 2641 Osprey Vista Way, Knoxville, TN 37920

The hackathon is open to everyone, regardless of background or experience. Our North Star goal is to build the bridge between microscopy and machine learning communities. For microscopists, we welcome participation from all field - electron, scanning probe, chemical imaging, and all stages of the microscope workflow from sample selection to microscope optimization, data analytics, in-line analysis, automated experimentation, and interpretation. From machine learning community, we welcome experts in image analysis, optimization, and active learning. Let’s build the window between machine learning and nanoscale world together!

MSA Webinar - StC Presents - Ethics and Image Manipulation in Science with Elisabeth Bik

MSA Webinar - StC Presents - Ethics and Image Manipulation in Science with Elisabeth Bik

December 17, 2024| Zoom Webinar

Scientific knowledge is cumulative, with each new scientific advancement based on one that preceded it, leading to a progressively deeper understanding. Yet, even after peer-review and publication, science papers often contain questionable data and images of concern. If not addressed post-publication, papers containing incorrect and falsified data may lead to wasted investments from funders, as well as, wasted time spent by other scientists trying to replicate those results. Register today to learn more about the importance of science ethics versus image & data manipulation and the consequences for research integrity from an expert in the field, Dr. Elizabeth Bik.

MSA Webinar - From TEM to STEM the Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy Revolution - Day 1

MSA Webinar - From TEM to STEM the Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy Revolution - Day 1

December 18, 2024| Zoom Webinar

Join us for a 2-part webinar, December 18 and 19, 2024! Today, over two decades after the STEM revolution began, HAADF-STEM imaging (with or without Cs correction) is now arguably the most widely used atomic-scale S/TEM imaging technique but is only the “tip of the iceberg” of what modern STEM imaging offers. Thus, a review of the different STEM techniques is needed, with this 2-part webinar offering both a presentation and a live demonstration.
