M&M in Portland 2019
(Missed M&M 2020 in Milwaukee, but would it have compared with the 1988 meeting?)
M&M in Portland was a great success as usual. Particularly exciting was the Symposium "The Success of TMBA: TEM and STEM Developments in Techniques, Applications, and Education".

CBC presented the 2016 Das Gupta Memorial Lecture at the 27th Annual Meeting of EMSI,. The meeting was held in Varanasi from June 6-10, 2016. Prof. N.N. Das Gupta was the Founding President of EMSI and actually built his own horizontal TEM in India.
Photo: The Award was presented by the Conference's Chief Guest, Dr. R Chidambaram, Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India. The event was reported in the Times of India and The Pioneer. Reporting the opening of a conference on Electron Microscopy in the Times and the Pioneer underlines the importance that India is now placing on manufacturing.

CBC met with Scott Russell at Oklahoma State University after presenting a talk as the MSA Traveling Speaker at the Oklahoma Microscopy Society “The Future of TEM &Why We Must Remember the Past”. The Society met in conjunction with the 104th Technical Meeting of the Oklahoma Academy of Science at Oklahoma City University Nov 13, 2015.
In the meeting room near Scott's office sits this TEM, along with past posters from the Societies' Ugly Bug Contest. (An outreach program to local schools.) So when they have a meeting, they can never forget the past! Below is another reminder of the past -a beautiful memorial seen at night before the OMS meeting.
