Virtual BIOCOMM 2021 - Staying Connected
Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, for the first time ever BIOCOMM, the annual meeting of the BCA will become a year of virtual events. Monthly Zoom sessions of workshops, plenary presentations, Infoshare and our annual Business Meeting and Town Hall meetings will be spread throughout 2021.
Virtual BIOCOMM 2021 gives us an opportunity to stay connected while continuing to learn and network. There will be a range of topics throughout the year such as Forensic Radiology, Kirlian Photography and Photomicroscopy.
Learn about Kirlian Photograhy at the April Virtual BIOCOMM event!
Join us on April 13 for the next Virtual BIOCOMM event. Hoosain Ebrahim, FBCA, FIMI(Hon), ASIS FRPS will teach us about Kirlian Photograhy: A Scientific Basis for Recording the Energy Fields of the Physical Body.
Kirlian photography is a method of obtaining a photographic image of high energy interaction between a subject and an applied electric field. The image captured on the film reflects the dynamic relationship between the externally generated electric field and the energy emitted from the subject. The light emitted as photons by the electric discharge from the charged subject produces the latent image in the photosensitive layer of the recording material.
If you have something to share please let us know. You can email Connie Johansen, Director Conferences with your idea and she will put you on the Infoshare presentation list. We will also be accepting "unplanned" presentations during our Zoom meeting in case the feeling moves you!
