9 July 2021 12.30pm – 5pm
Scientific Organisers: Professor Michelle Peckham and Dr Hari Shroff
The workshop this year will be centred on the current challenges in developing and using super-resolution microscopy with short talks and lots of time for discussion. It will be split into 2 sessions, focussing on the topics of ‘using machine learning and AI in super-resolution imaging’ and the other will be ‘expansion microscopy’. Thoughts and ideas are encouraged to help define what is good/best practice around these challenges and to give an insight into future potential developments.
Invited Speakers will include:

Just 10 senior researchers who received public funding in the UK during 2018-19 were Black, the first breakdown of UK science funding by individual ethnic groups reveals. The number, just 0.5 per cent of the total, was described as “profoundly upsetting” by the government body in charge of funding.

Researchers can apply for three categories of funding, in descending seniority: principal investigator (PI), co-investigator or fellow. Today, data published by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), which coordinates the research councils, shows that just 10 Black researchers were awarded PI funding. Out of the total 2045 PI roles funded, 210 went to people from an ethnic minority.
