Hello all,
As sometimes happens, some people find they can't get money to attend
courses at the last minute while others don't hear about the courses
until it is too late to apply.
Now may be your chance!
Several late cancellations at the UBC Live-Cell course mean three
opportunities for those of you who have ten days free this June. In
addition, the presence of more microscopy systems allows us to set up
one more group-of-three.
We expect to have an international faculty of 15, and on-site
equipment that includes 2-photon systems from Zeiss and Bio-Rad.
There will also be single-photon confocals from Bio-Rad, Olympus,
Nikon, Yokogawa/Solamere and Yokogawa/EG&G as well as deconvolution
set-ups from Applied Precision Instruments,
AutoQuant/Universal-Imaging, Improvision, Intelligent-Imaging-
Innovations and Zeiss, all set up for "live-cell" work. In addition,
there will be a laser tweezers/scissors from Cell-Robotics,
microinjection from Eppendorf and sundry other delights including a
fully equipped cell biology lab (with tireless technician!!) just for
students.
These microscopy systems are not just to look at but to use for over
45 hours of organized 2D and 3D live-cell laboratory sessions, plus
10 hours of evening sessions for group live-cell projects.
Although the eight "Groups-of-3" have already been set up and have
chosen their "individual projects," we are able to accept 3-2 more
students as long as their backgrounds will fit into one of these
groups, and we may even be able to set up one additional group.
If this interests you, go and find out more at:
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/spider/ladic/course/bulletin.html
which has the rest of the story, including a preliminary program.
Then fill out the Registration Form from the site to tell us about
you, Fax it to Dr. Elaine Humphrey ASAP and we will see if we can fit
you in. (I will be away April 1-14)
Hope that you can join us in Vancouver this June 18-28.
Jim Pawley, Organizer
