ACA Election Candidate

Brandon Mercado: Candidate for MicroED SIG Secretary

I am a crystallographer at the Chemical and Biophysical Instrumentation Center at Yale University. Since 2018, I have sought to learn about and participate in the field of electron crystallography and microED. I have enjoyed collaborating with many fantastic researchers in this space. I am excited that the ACA is committed to recognizing this growing field and its need for representation at the SIG level. If elected, I will ensure an accurate record is taken of session ideas. I will support the SIG chair in fundraising for proposed workshops. Since 2020 I have served on the annual meeting program team, and I will leverage that experience to better advise session chairs on effective strategies for fundraising. Thank you for your consideration.
