IMOD News Archive
The IMOD community has news and activities coming in on multiple channels, from new scientific publications, through participation in conferences, educational and outreach activities, to awards, recognition and general updates. While you can find reports on recent news in each of the sections on the website, this centralized news archive acts as a single location where all of the news is collected together in one place.
Follow us on our social media feeds to keep up to date with IMOD activities.
