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@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@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-for... ---- 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@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@biobrillouin.org with link to post. Publications/preprint links can also be sent to newsletter@biobrillouin.org and will be listed in the forthcoming newsletter edition. For questions pertaining to society membership please email administration@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)! Kareem, Robert, Stephanie, Francesca, Michael and Thorsten (Scientific Organizing Committee of Conference)
