6 Program Highlights MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 2014 Prof. Colin Humphreys, University of Cambridge, UK How Cutting-Edge Atomic Resolution Microscopy Can Help to Solve Some of the World s Energy Problems Professor Humphreys is Director of Research in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge. He is also the Director of the Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride and the Rolls-Royce/Cambridge University Technology Partnership for Advanced Aerospace Materials. His early work in electron microscopy focused on using electron diffraction theory to interpret the images of defects in a wide range of materials and he also developed new electron microscope techniques. More recently he has used electron microscopy and atom probe tomography (APT) for the advanced characterization of materials. In this talk he will show how atomic resolution electron microscopy and APT can be used to help to solve some of the world s energy problems and can also enable the commercial exploitation of materials. Prof. Brian J. Ford, Cambridge, UK Living Images from the Birth of Microscopy Every microscopist revels in the secret world that our instruments reveal. Yet one mystery remains what was seen by our first predecessors? Attempts to recreate the earliest views have failed: television documentaries have broadcast faint, grey images lacking in definition, which compounds the mystery of how the pioneering discoveries could have been made. The realities of the cell; the discovery of the nucleus; living spermatozoa; freeswimming bacteria none of these has been revealed to us as it was to the first microscopists. In today s extensively illustrated presentation, we will see for the first time exactly what Leeuwenhoek himself saw in the 1600s. We will follow Hooke as he recognizes the cell and Brown as he identifies the cell nucleus. The stunning video images show us what was seen centuries ago. When compared with the conventional reconstructions, these meticulous demonstrations leave a breath-taking impression. Here we are witnessing the dawn of science, recreated for today s microscopists to savor. Professor Ford s books have appeared in over 100 editions around the globe, and his papers appear in magazines including Scientific American, New Scientist, British Medical Journal, Nature, and The Cell. His research on the living cell has revolutionized our views on life, and he is in much international demand as a lecturer. He is currently based in Cambridge, England.

20 Awards Information MSA and MAS sponsor Meeting Awards for outstanding submitted papers by students, post-doctoral researchers, and professional technical staff. These awards will be presented at the Monday Plenary session. In addition, the M&M meeting s co-sponsoring societies and commercial partners sponsor the awards listed below, to be conferred at the meeting. MSA STUDENT POSTER AWARDS Poster presentations are an excellent format for all participants to engage in intensive discussion with other researchers in the field. To especially encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity and submit papers for poster presentation, MSA provides cash awards to the most outstanding student posters (first author) each day (one in each of three categories). MAS BEST PAPER AWARDS MAS annually confers awards for papers presented at the M&M meeting deemed to be best in four categories. Each comes with a cash award generously provided by MAS Sustaining Members. Student poster awards will be presented immediately following each day s poster session, in the Exhibit Hall. MSA MICROGRAPH COMPETITION Sponsored by Microscopy Society of America Held at the M&M Meeting each year, this micrograph competition promotes the innovative blending of art and science. Open to all forms of microscopic imaging, winners of this competition are selected on the basis of artistic merit and general audience appeal. A maximum of three (3) awards will be presented; First Prize: $200; Two Second Prizes: $50 each. Bring your best work with you to Hartford and enter the competition! CRITERIA: Entries must be scientifically significant Entries must contain novel information useful in resolving a scientific issue, and/or Present established information in a way that dramatically enhances its comprehension or interpretation. RULES: Any individual may submit a maximum of two (2) entries (one award per entrant). Entries must have overall dimensions of 11 x 14 (horizontal or vertical), and be affixed to a stiff lightweight support (e.g. ¼ foam board). Micrographs may be mounted so that they have borders. Each entry must have a separate text sheet with the title and a 200-word (max) description of the image, including the technique and its scientific significance. Text is recommended to be printed in 14-pt Times New Roman font on a separate 8½ x 11 sheet. Entrant s name, address and image title shall be posted on the back of the mounted entry(ies). Entries must be brought to the meeting in Hartford and mounted on the display boards by 12:00 noon on Monday, June 4, Non-winning entries must be removed Thursday afternoon by 3:00 PM. Micrographs remaining after that time will be discarded. Winners will be announced on the final day of the meeting (Thursday). Submitted micrographs remain the property of the entrants subject to the conditions above. IMS I METALLOGRAPHIC CONTEST Revised Rules and Larger Prize Money The primary goal of the contest is to advance the science of microstructural analysis by providing an opportunity for those interested in materials properties and characterization to display their work and communicate significant scientific information. There are five different classes of competition covering all fields of optical and electron microscopy. Deadline for entries is July 19, The International Metallographic Contest and Exhibit, co-sponsored since 1972 by IMS will be held in conjunction with Microscopy & Microanalysis 2014 and the 47 th IMS Annual Meeting in Hartford, CT, August 3-7, The contest features the best work of metallographers, metallurgists, and microstructure analysts from around the world. Entrants need not be members of the International Metallographic Society or ASM International. For contest Rules and entry submission information, visit IMS at EXHIBITOR-SPONSORED AWARDS Diatome Award (Sponsored by Diatome) CRITERIA: Presented for the posters illustrating the best use of diamond knife ultramicrotomy in either biological or physical sciences. First Prize: One week, all-expense-paid trip to Switzerland Second Prize & Third Prize (if sufficient entries): Swiss watches [20] M&M 2014 August 3-7 Hartford, CT
