California's Emerging Scientist
Imaging Workshop
An All-expenses-paid Microscopy and Image Analysis Workshop
Location: University of California-Davis, USA
Course Dates: July 30 - August 3, 2023
Application Deadline: May 17, 2023
This 5-day workshop is offered by the University of California-Davis in partnership with the Advanced Imaging Center at HHMI - Janelia Research Campus.
With an emphasis on hypothesis-driven experimental design, students will learn both the fundamentals of microscopy and analysis as well as how to properly devise and execute microscopy experiments to quantitively test complex biological questions.
This workshop is available to students, faculty, and researchers from the following universities:
-
San Francisco State University
-
UC Davis
-
CSU Stanislaus
-
CSU Sacramento
-
CSU East Bay
-
Sonoma State University
-
CSU Fresno
-
CSU Chico
-
Cal Poly Humboldt
-
San Jose State University
The expenses of California's Emerging Scientist Imaging Workshop are entirely covered for all attendees.
