Developmental Biology Teaching Workshop at Darling Marine Center
Posted by Marsha Lucas, on 22 March 2013
The University of Maine Darling Marine Center will once again host a Developmental Biology Teaching Workshop, June 25-29, 2013. Openings are still available!
This workshop is geared toward university faculty, postdocs, and graduate students interested in teaching developmental biology. It provides basic hands-on experience with organisms commonly studied in teaching laboratories. These include sea urchins and sand dollars, planaria, Drosophila, chick embryos, Spirostomum, Hydra, Lumbriculus, and flowering plants. Techniques will range from classical microsurgical techniques to fluorescence microscopy and applications of reporter gene technology.
Course Instructors:
Dr. Leland Johnson, Augustana College, SD
Dr. Eric Cole, St. Olaf College, MN
Guest Instructor, Dr. Mark Spiro, Bucknell University, PA
This workshop is the recipient of a Non-SDB Educational Activities Grant from the Society for Developmental Biology. For more information visit the course website here: http://www.dmc.maine.edu/workshops.html#devbiocourse
