EXCERPT
As many of you are aware by now, the devastating impact of the coronavirus (Covid-19) disrupted nearly all of McCrone Research Institute’s operations and programs in 2020. In response to this once-in-acentury crisis, the Institute, with the support of its constituents and readers like you, is charting a new course for success by creating a viable operating model and exploring ways in which it can continue to deliver world-class microscopy education, research, and publishing, as it has done consistently since 1960.
