should be performed, and to identify software applications to perform validation tasks. </p> <p> The initial meeting of the <a href="http://vtf.emdatabank.org" target="_blank">Electron Microscopy Validation Task Force (EM VTF)</a> was held on September 28-29, 2010 and was organized by <a href="http://www.emdatabank.org" target="_blank">EMDataBank, Unified Data Resource for 3DEM</a>. Twenty highly regarded EM scientists assembled at Rutgers University to consider possible validation standards for 3D maps and models produced by electron microscopy reconstruction methods. The 2-day workshop was co-chaired by Richard Henderson (MRC, Cambridge) for map validation and Andrej Sali (UCSF) for model validation. Their report has now been published: </p> <p> <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.str.2011.12.014" target="_blank">Outcome of the First Electron Microscopy Validation Task Force Meeting</a>,<br> Richard Henderson, Andrej Sali, Matthew L.
