Dear ESMI Members, Colleagues, Imaging Scientists.
On behalf of the ESMI Presidents, Board members, and staff* we are wishing you a pleasant holiday and a happy, healthy, and peaceful start into the New Year.
We’d like to take the opportunity to express our heartfelt THANKS for sharing your excellent science, for your vibrant and open-minded commitment – simply for choosing the ESMI as home for your research and can’t wait to welcome you next spring in Bilbao for the EMIM 2025 and celebrate the ESMI’s 20th anniversary.
To shorten the waiting time, enjoy the Holiday / Christmas edition of the “Dive into Imaging Science” podcast with the wonderful guest Fabian Kiessling talking about how to ‘make the visible invisible’ inspired by the groundbreaking paper from the lab of Guosong Hong at Stanford by achieving optical transparency in live animals using a food dye that’s an ingredient in many potato chips! Hear, hear via www.e-smi.eu/podcast/.
All the best and take care 
Your ESMI Board & Management Team
