Remembering Jim Bentley at Microscopy and Microanalysis 2025
At Microscopy and Microanalysis 2025, Prof. Kevin Field joined a symposium organized by M. Grace Burke and colleagues to honor the late Jim Bentley.
Bentley mentored Field during his graduate research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s SHaRE facility. Their discussions about grain boundary character helped shape Field’s doctoral research and subsequent career. The symposium provided an opportunity to reflect on Bentley’s lasting influence on microscopy and on the importance of passing those lessons to the next generation of researchers.
