    • Abstract: This forum will be looking at the future of microscopy education in the context of the increased complexity of systems and their capabilities, including turn-key access to specialized technologies. As these advanced operations become even more “easy to use” how do we maintain training standards and high-level training programs.  Looking through the lens of our recent experiences with altered safety practices and physical distancing requirement and the necessary adjustments to many training programs offers a unique opportunity to explore the future for microscopy training and education while identifying the complementary roles for core facilities, specialized courses and industry partners
