A Supportive
Space for Scientists
PAIR-UP workshops are designed to create a supportive and empowering space for imaging scientists to come together, share knowledge, and foster meaningful connections.
These workshops offer a unique opportunity to learn from experts in the field, explore the latest advancements in imaging technology, and engage in hands-on, interactive sessions tailored to professional growth.
Whether you are early in your career or an experienced researcher, our workshops provide an inclusive environment where you can network with peers, collaborate on innovative projects, and gain valuable insights to advance both your technical skills and career opportunities.
Join us in cities across the United States as we work to strengthen the community of Imaging Scientists and promote greater representation within the field.
"It’s transformative for a lot of Black scientists because there's a lot of niche information that the community might not have access to."
