Local Affiliated Societies News
by Ru-ching Hsia, LAS Director
MSA members across the country have also established 25 local affiliated societies (LAS). These LAS hold regular meetings, social events, and publish newsletters to provide regional networking and outreach opportunities for the local microscopy community. Please join a local society or renew your membership in 2022. Find out more about your local microscopy society and its activities on the LAS community page at http://microscopy.org/communities/local.cfm.
