The goal of this mini retreat is to bring together women leaders in cryo-EM in NYC and their groups to discuss ongoing work and where they see the field headed. The groups attending include established leaders in the field as well as junior rising stars, and topics covered range from computational methods development to new insights on major biological questions. Discussion sessions will also provide a venue for conversations about how we can open the field to women and minorities and more.
