ConnMs.org promotes scientific exchange in the field of microscopy
Title
Welcome to ConnMS
Description
The Connecticut Microscopy Society (a Microscopy Society of America affiliate) promotes scientific exchange between established researchers and students to foster the growth of all microscopy disciplines. Meetings are held three times a year throughout Connecticut and in association with the New England Society for Microscopy. The society further promotes microscopy as a research tool through its membership in C.U.R.E (Connecticut United for Research Excellence), a non-profit organization devoted to strengthening the bioscience industry and collaborations among scientist in industry and academia.
The Microscopy Society was formed in 1981 to link together scientists and students with a common interest in electron microscopy. The original name of the Society was the Connecticut Electron Microscopy Society and the name was not changed until 1995 to the Connecticut Microscopy Society (ConnMS). The name change came about due to the increasing interest among members in different areas of microscopy. Through the years the Society has maintained its strong links to the New England Microscopy Society (NESM) and to the Microscopy Society of America (MSA). The Society offers students and researchers the opportunity to network and share ideas and techniques. Meetings are held two times each year in October and March at various research institutions in Connecticut. Our third meeting is held the weekend of May 9th at the Woods Hole Oceanagraphic Institute in conjunction with the New England Society for Microscopy in Massachusetts.
For 25 years the Connecticut Microscopy Society has encouraged microscopists within Connecticut to interact academically and professionally. Our primary goal is the exchange of research strategies and continuation of microscopy through student involvement. The Society also strives to increase awareness of various microscopic disciplines and their impact in research and industry. Affiliations with the New England Microscopy Society and the Microscopy Society of America allow opportunities for continuing education and participation in national certification programs. We also foster relationships between microscopy suppliers and researchers.
