The RMS is very pleased to learn that Professor Paul Verkade has joined the Executive Board of the European Microscopy Society (EMS).

Paul, who is a long-standing member of the RMS Electron Microscopy Committee and a current member of the RMS Council, was elected to his new post during the EMS General Assembly at emc2024 in Copenhagen.

The EMS Executive Board is comprised of members representing a number of different countries across Europe, drawn from different areas of microscopy within Material, Life Sciences and Instrumentation areas.

Paul said: “It’s a real honour to be asked to join the board, and I look forward to working with my new colleagues in support of microscopy across the whole of Europe. The EMS is a key organisation - bringing together a number of different microscopy societies – including the RMS - and helping to build a dynamic community covering all branches of microscopy and across the sciences.”

Paul is a Professor of Bioimaging at the University of Bristol, UK. He has been working in the field of microscopy from the start of his scientific career and over the last 15 years has established himself as one of the leaders in the field of Correlative Light Electron Microscopy (CLEM).
