BMIC’s work – Ideation, Training, Mentoring, Experimenting, Publishing – is by nature collaborative.
For an efficient, pleasant and fruitful collaboration, please follow the framework below:
Engaging with us at ideation allows us to:
Provide expert knowledge to shape your idea for maximum imaging impact.
Anticipate potential roadblocks & bottlenecks in experimental design that could impede imaging.
Anticipate and organise your training needs.
Plan to best support you and your project outcomes.
Planning ahead allows us to:
Accommodate the needs of 100+ BMIC users.
Organise your first training as early as possible (usually 2 weeks after project discussion).
Train with relevant material prior to important experiments to maximise benefits, anticipate problems and ensure training is fresh in your mind.
Checking-in with us regularly allows us to:
Monitor your results and identify technical issues early to provide extra support, training and tailored mentoring.
Provide guidance for interpretation and presentation of results to ensure science excellence.
Involving us in the preparation of publications allows us to:
Ensure that the microimaging work and its interpretation are publication-quality when BMIC staff are co-authors, or being acknowledged. Please send us a copy of the manuscript prior to submission for review and feedback.
Ensure BMIC facilities are properly acknowledged in all cases.
