Dear Users, Just to remind you of the upcoming Young Life Scientists' symposium on Friday 28th October. There are about 10 places left for this exciting event! Please see below to register. There is also an image competition: Hope to see you there! All the best, David Dear YLS 2016 attendees, We are writing to remind you of the upcoming YLS 2016 Symposium "Advanced Imaging with Light Microscopy: Capturing Tissues to Single Molecules". We still have some remaining places for abstract submissions for either a poster or oral presentation, with amazing prizes for the winners. We strongly encourage as many people as possible to submit abstracts before the deadline on Friday 7th October, so why not give it a go? We would also like to encourage you to submit light microscopy images for the image competition. Zeiss have very kindly offered an incredible prize for the best image and in the field of light microscopy, seeing IS believing! Please provide a maximum of 2 images in high enough resolution to be printed at size A4 in either .TIF or .png formats. Presenting a poster, giving an oral presentation or displaying an image provides the perfect way to initiate discussions and foster new collaborations. Please send all abstract submissions and light microscopy images directly to yls2016symposia@gmail.com<mailto:yls2016symposia@gmail.com>. Kind regards, The YLS 2016 team Stephanie, Mark, Silvia & Katie ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear colleague, We would like to invite you to the Young Life Scientists' Symposium 2016 "Advanced Imaging with Light Microscopy: Capturing Tissues to Single Molecules", which will take place on Friday 28th October 2016 at Imperial College London, Hammersmith Hospital Campus, W12 0NN. The YLS Symposium is a free event open to everyone who is using microscopy techniques for their research and wants to gain a deeper understanding in this field. Focusing on application of emerging advanced imaging techniques, image analysis and current research into imaging complex cellular processes, the YLS Symposium 2016 will cover a wide range of techniques and their applications, together with sample preparation and post-acquisition analysis workshops. Keynote speakers feature Prof. Francesco Pavone, Laurent Cognet and Lothar Schermelleh, who will present their cutting edge research and major achievements during plenary lectures, followed by a Q&A session. The programme also includes oral presentations selected from abstracts, a poster session, an image competition (prizes would be given) and a discussion panel. The Symposium will be the perfect occasion for networking over provided coffee-breaks, lunch and a drinks reception. For more information, registration and abstract submission please visit the YLS Symposium 2016 Eventbrite page: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/young-life-scientists-symposium-2016-tickets-... Please note that number of places is limited! Please do not hesitate to forward this email to whoever might be interested in participating in this event.
