CryoEM Facilities Mailing List
Following discussions at the first CryoEM Facilities Meeting at the University of Warwick (02-03 June 2025) we have set up a JISCMail private list of UK facilities staff to keep in touch and support each other. If you are are facility staff, and would like to join, please register here:
