Hi Michael, All It would be great if we could transfer some aspects of website onto www.biobrillouin.org under past meetings. Prob fine as just screen shots (program, Venue info, awarded prizes, maybe some photos,..). If anyone wants to help with this would be great, else can look into doing this weekend hopefully. Would for safety be good to have biobrillouin25.com up until end of year at least (not sure of contract/subscription details of what possible). Yes ofcourse will transfer incurred costs then. At moment still have not received all promised payments or invoices from venue and some attendees/sponsors. Am hoping we can wrap all up this year, but it may go into January depending how quick all the various admin dept’s are and how difficult they decide to be.. All the best, Kareem From: Michael Monaghan <MONAGHMI(a)tcd.ie> Date: Tuesday, 2. December 2025 at 10:42 To: Kareem Elsayad <kareem.elsayad(a)meduniwien.ac.at>, "soc25(a)biobrillouin.org" <soc25(a)biobrillouin.org> Subject: [EXTERN] RE: Photo, ... Well done everyone- there was a great turnout, it must be the biggest meeting to date? Kareem; how soon do you want to pull down the meeting website. It is currently on a subscription. I would have costs to claim back for the website setup and subscription too; would these be processed in Vienna? Best Michael From: Kareem Elsayad via Soc25 <soc25(a)biobrillouin.org> Sent: 01 December 2025 09:30 To: soc25(a)biobrillouin.org Subject: [Soc25] Photo, ... [External Email] This email originated outside of Trinity College Dublin. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and know the content is safe. Hi All, I think we pulled it off quite well. Hope you all also arrived back well or are having a pleasant onward journey. Does someone btw. have the group photo from conference and can share? Can you please send also to: newsletter(a)biobrillouin.org website(a)biobrillouin.org socmedia(a)biobrillouin.org (So they can post on accounts/website, use for newsletter,…) I plan to send thank you email out to all conference attendees later this afternoon once I have a free window, putting all registered attendees also on mailing list members(a)biobrillouin.org . If there is anything specific you would like me to mention therein please let me know by ~4pm All the best, Kareem

by Kareem Elsayad Dec. 8, 2025

Dear Konstantin, Hope all well and you got back to Erlangen safely after meeting in Berlin. We wanted to congratulate you again on winning the Jochen Guck Prize together with your colleague H. Romero Limon. We unfortunately do not have the contact info of H. Romero Limon handy and kindly request that you forward this to them. A couple of things.. The prize is (as mentioned at meeting) 300 EUR. As the prize is shared we propose to award each of you 150 EUR (unless you and H. Romero Limon propose and agree to some other split – in which case please specify). To receive this award, could you and H. Romero Limon please provide bank transfer details to Anastasia (anastasia.asvestopoulou(a)meduniwien.ac.at) i.e. IBAN, BIC, Name. It may take several weeks to process, but hopefully we can have it to you by end of year! We would like to announce you and H. Romero Limon winning this prize on our social media accounts as well as in our next newsletter. Would it be possible to send separate photos of yourselves that we can include in announcement (please email to: socmedia(a)biobrillouin.org and newsletter(a)biobrillouin.org ). If you’d rather we not include a photo, also fine, just let respective mailing lists know so they don’t delay announcement. All the best, Kareem (on behalf of BioBrillouin 2025 Organizers)

Incase you are wondering...

Dec. 4, 2025

You (should have) received same email to attendees many times (probably 5 or 6, I Ioose count). This is not my email being hacked but me sending to them in bcc in several consecutive emails, since more than 20 in bcc gets flagged as spam and blocked (so have to do in bits--and in each case main addressee is soc25). So please just ignore/delete. Didn’t want to do via mailing list as this goes to some peoples spam/junk. Sorry about that. K

BioBrillouin 2025 Conference wrap up & some other info...
by Kareem Elsayad Dec. 4, 2025

Dec. 4, 2025

Dear All, On behalf of all the organizers we would like to quickly thank you again for attending the 9th International BioBrillouin Meeting. We hope you found the meeting enjoyable and inspirational. I have been told we had >100 people in attendance (50% more than last year), so this easily makes it the biggest BioBrillouin meeting to date, and would have definitely made Jochen proud. We want to take this opportunity to once again thank all the Platinum, Gold and Silver sponsors of the meeting, without whom the event would not have been financially feasible. We look forward to working together with you also for future meetings. A couple of additional points… ---- Receipts: Many have requested formal payment receipts. We are processing these as fast as we can and issuing as soon as money appears in account. It can, due to apparently unavoidable university bureaucracy, sometimes take several weeks to show up in our account, so please bear with us. All requests pertaining to these should be addressed to soc25(a)biobrillouin.org ---- Conference Photos: We have uploaded a couple of photos from the conference HERE. (If you have any photos you took that you would like to share with community, just send to soc25(a)biobrillouin.org and we will upload to folder) ---- Special Issue, Journal of Microscopy Don’t forget about the“9th International BioBrillouin Conference” Special Issue of the Journal of Microscopy (submission deadline June 2026). N.B. it is not necessary that the topic of the manuscript is the same as what you presented at meeting. See also website for guidelines: https://www.rms.org.uk/library/journal-of-microscopy/special-issues/call-fo… ---- Society/Mailing List: If you have paid the registration fee for the meeting you also have one year membership in the society included (if you have not you can still do so). We will soon also have a link on the biobrillouin.org homepage soon for people to register for membership (independent of having registered for the meeting). Being a member means you also have access to this mailing list: members(a)biobrillouin.org If you have paid the registration fee you are now already on this mailing list: should you want to unsubscribe at any time simply click the unsubscribe link that can be found at the end of each list post. The mailing list will (initially at least) be moderated so we can make sure you do not receive any spam through it. I have been told that for some people these mailing list mails go straight to their Junk or spam folders, as such maybe check this is not the case and mark address as “not spam”. What is this mailing list for? Advertising Job openings, Meetings, Workshops, Events, Special/Feature Issues, Funding schemes, etc. Asking and answering (scientific/technology) questions to the community. It goes without saying that all the above should be related to BioBrillouin. We will generally post announcements (meetings, awards, society and non-society funded grants, new website features, etc. to this list) What is this mailing list NOT for? Product promotion and self-promotion. Due also to the number of people on the list, it is not intended to advertise any commercial or to be commercialized products (or services with for-profit monetary interests at hand). Same applies to self-promotion (e.g. “I will be presenting X at Y” or “We have just published X in Y”) – if everyone does this the list will quickly descend into madness, and people will unsubscribe. These posts will thus be blocked at moderation. For the above you should use your Linkedin/X accounts, and the Society Social Media team will be sure to like/love/support/repost.. your post as deemed appropriate. To make sure they spot your post include the hashtag #BioBrillouin and/or shoot an email to socmedia(a)biobrillouin.org with link to post. Publications/preprint links can also be sent to newsletter(a)biobrillouin.org and will be listed in the forthcoming newsletter edition. For questions pertaining to society membership please email administration(a)biobrillouin.org. If you are a company representative wishing to potentially sponsor the society please also contact us at this address to discuss some of the benefits. ---- Think that’s it for the moment, wishing you all the best, and looking forward to seeing you again soon (latest next year in Exeter, UK)!
