Dear young researchers,
on behalf of the recently established team Young Microscopists and Image analysts (YMIA) under the The German Society for Microscopy and Image Analysis (BioImaging-Gesellschaft für Mikroskopie und Bildanalyse e.V. GerBI-GMB), we would like to cordially invite all interested actively working and aspiring microscopists and image analysts for the YMIA general meeting on the 25th of April 2023 at 13:30. To receive the meeting link, send a quick message to team-ymia@gerbi-gmb.de
About YMIA:
Microscopy and image analysis are so strongly intertwined that it is impossible to talk about one without the other. We aim to form a network among young scientists in which we can discuss our specific imaging and analysis issues in an informal, peer-based environment. „Young” in this definition means students, PhD students and PostDocs up to two years after their defense. For more information about the YMIA, check out our website: https://gerbi-gmb.de/teams/ymia/
If you have any questions and/or want to sign up for all upcoming events, feel free to reach out to us via email: team-ymia@gerbi-gmb.de
Meeting agenda:
- introduction of the YMIA and GerBI
- discuss previous activities (feedback and plans for the future)
- presentation of communication channels
- presentation of resource database
- introduction of the concept of „problem based learning“ (possible alternative learning model for our community)
- open discussion and Q&A to the organizers
Our goal is to tailor our program to your needs and expectations!
Best wishes on behalf of the YMIA team,
Friederike, Annika and Sona
