I have deep gratitude to the letter writers, committee, sponsors and to all in the community who have generously and relentlessly educated, mentored, inspired and enabled every opportunity that I have been the beneficiary of, including this recognition. Thank you all! @bioimagingna.bsky.social

So humbled and grateful for this opportunity, but want to emphasize that none of this would be possible without @marianadeniz.bsky.social who not only had the idea and did the work for the nomination, but saw in me something that I did not. It has been an honor to work with and learn from her. (1/2)

Now that I can say it publicly - huge congratulations to @michelleitano.bsky.social , winner of this year's @bioimagingna.bsky.social Michael W Davidson award for "Community contributions, in any of the areas of Engagement, Education, Mentorship, and Standardization". So well deserved! #GBIxBINA2025
A black slide with the Bioimaging North America colorful logo in the top left, with the text "2025 Award Recipient - Michelle Itano, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill". It has a picture of Michelle, as well as white text in a box- "Michelle embodies the various attributes that Michael Davidson was known for, and she is a beloved member of the imaging community who never hesitates to support it, or contribute to its growth.”

Today, ~40 practicing scientists joined a Zoom lab meeting to hear my Mechanochemical Cell Bio undergrads give research progress talks on their quantitative microscopy studies in MYO10 stable knockdown cell lines. I’ve got graduating seniors looking for science jobs. These folks are ready.
