If you are aiming for mechanobiology scientists from resource-constrained regions, there are a few in Vietnam and Kazakhstan. Not sure about Africa though...

A year ago, global imaging leaders and funders met at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social to discuss #microscopy dissemination to underserved communities and the potential solutions. Are the challenges a misstep or a missed step? Here is the white paper to address that question. tinyurl.com/y6ycehzf

It often takes more than just technical validation to propel #microscopy technology to the end users. Here we detail the comprehensive stewardship model of the AIC (@aicjanelia.bsky.social) in "De-risking transformative microscopy technologies for broad adoption" tinyurl.com/4yat36ce 🧪 "
