Student Council is excited to announce that the remaining Regional Liaison position has been filled! Joseph Lim has agreed to take on the role of Regional Liaison I, serving the Pacific Northwest. Joseph is no stranger to MSA as he has been an active participant in the Student Bursary Program and attended the last three Microscopy & Microanalysis meetings. His story also points to how MSA and MSA Student Council truly do represent a broad reach of backgrounds and interests in the field of microscopy. As an Army Veteran returning to school to pursue paramedic certification, he became inspired by professors in his biological sciences courses and was introduced to microscopy through them. He joined MSA three years ago when his Cell Biology professor encouraged him to join a professional organization. Joseph has been an enthusiastic part of the MSA student membership ever since. Welcome Aboard!
Take a minute to look at the MSA Student Council Regional Liaison map, connect with a local liaison, and remember to renew your MSA Student Membership or for PIs/faculty/staff please encourage your students to get involved and reach out to MSA Student Council at studentcouncil@microscopy.org!
