Top half of the image is a picture featuring Sali Davis, RMS Chief Executive, with the Franklin's Director of Strategic Marketing, Laura Holland, on a visit to the Franklin.Bottom half of image is a quote from Sali which reads - "We’re really excited to explore new opportunities for joint-working with our colleagues at the Franklin, which is a major hub for technological innovation in microscopy, right across the sciences. This agreement is a great way of setting out some practical steps we can take to support each other’s activities and bring our communities closer together"
We have signed a new agreement with @royalmicrosoc.bsky.social to explore new ways to further our shared purpose of advancing microscopy and imaging and supporting the scientific communities engaged in these disciplines.
