I hope everyone enjoyed the M&M virtual meeting. I regret we were not able to have our regular in-person breakfast meeting during M&M this year, but we will have a virtual LAS business meeting coming up on September 9th. Please see the information below.
LAS Business Meetings
The next LAS business meeting will be held on September 9, 2 to 3 PM EDT (please note the time change due to schedule conflict). SouthEastern Microscopy Society (SEMS) and Chesapeake Microscopy & Microanalysis Society (CMMS) will share their experiences on how they organize their local meetings and newsletters. Officers and Members of LAS are welcome to attend the meeting. Different LAS will be featured in each meeting and present their activities and events. We will also share ideas and tips for running local societies and events during the meeting. LAS are encouraged to work with regional liaisons from the MSA Student Council (StC), local colleges, and other regional scientific or teachers' societies, etc.
