[FILM-Users 00307] Fwd: Can I please circulate this postdoc vacancy
by Martin Spitaler 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Dear microscopists, see below an excellent opportunity for a very much imaging-focussed postdoc position in Dan Davis' new lab in Manchester. On this occasion, you you might be aware that unfortunately for us Dan Davis has taken up an excellent opportunity at the Institute of Inflammation and Repair in Manchester. Dan was a co-founder of FILM back in 2006 (together with Tony Magee and Mike Ferenczi) and a major user and supporter of the facility ever since. His lab has also produced some of the most spectacular results and publications coming out of FILM. We wish him all the best for his new lab, and many more exciting discoveries. Good imaging, also to Manchester, Martin ========================================== On 26/01/2013 20:02, Davis, Daniel M wrote: > > Martin, If possible can you please circulate these postdoc vacancies > that I have available through your FILM list and any other microscopy > lists you know of?

[FILM-Users 00306] no FILM Club this month
by Martin Spitaler 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Dear microscopists, if you have been waiting for the invitation to the FILM Club this month, unfortunately I have to disappoint you. Despite hard negotiations up to the last minute, I haven't managed to convince anybody to present their work. This is of course very disappointing, but it is a reminder that the whole point about the FILM Club is the exchange of knowledge and expertise between microscopists, through simple, informal presentations of their work. But fact is - if nobody presents, it won't happen. So on this occasion, my appeal to you: If you think it's a good idea, you have to contribute. Every month I try hard to convince users to do so, and thankfully several of you have done so in the past, but it can be very frustrating, everyone is busy, and pressure from supervisor typically has priority. My appeal also goes to supervisors: If you think this is a good thing for your people, that they can learn new techniques, get ideas, start collaborations and eventually do better science, we need your help. You are much more likely to convince your people to give a presentation than I possibly could. From the FILM perspective, as much as I'm convinced of it and have enjoyed past presentations, this really is primarily for you users. We in the facility get to see first-hand the full range of experiments done by FILM users anyway, this really is very much for you. Hoping for LOTS of feedback and many more exciting FILM CLubs; good imaging, Martin ...for a list of past FILM Clubs, see <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility/news#filmclub> -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Martin Spitaler, PhD* *FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy* - Facility Manager - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 401 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ UK Tel. +44-(0)20-759-42023 E-mail m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk <mailto:m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility

[FILM-Users 00301] FILM Image Competition: From dolphins to Paris... THE WINNER
by Martin Spitaler 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Dear microscopists, again, our FILM Image Of The Year 2012 competition has produced some spectacular images, but at the end, one image had the edge for the judges. As Catherine Wood from Tate Modern put it: ""Purely as a strong image I think the ventricle photograph number 10 is stunning... They are all beautiful though". So this year's winner of the FILM Image Of The Year competition is: ANITA ALVAREZ LAVIADA with her beautiful image of cardiomyocytes. Believe it or not, she has only just learned using our microscopes last October, and has convinced our judges straightaway. Congratulations, Anita, a really impressive achievement! I'm sure you will enjoy the first prize, the iPod nano, during your time at the microscopes. See the winning image and all other entries on our website: <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/portal/page/portallive/imagingfacility/research/…> A big THANKS to all entrants, but also to the JUDGES, who didn't have it easy - and of course, last but not least, to MOLECULAR PROBES / LIFE TECHNOLOGIES for their generous sponsorship. And as you can imagine, the calendars with the best 12 images look very impressive - they are still available, for £20 you can order your own copy. Those who didn't make it for the top prize, don't forget there are other competitions out there, have a look at the links on the FILM website under LINKS / MEETINGS, COURSES, COMPETITIONS. And those who didn't submit an image this year - the next one is only ten months away, so start watching out for that special one... Congratulations, and good imaging in 2013, Martin ########################################### *Martin Spitaler, PhD* *FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy* - Facility Manager - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 401 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ UK Tel. +44-(0)20-759-42023 E-mail m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk <mailto:m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility
