<br>
I would like to inform you about the fifth Bangalore Microscopy Course scheduled for Sep. 08-15, 2013, organized at the National Center for Biological Sciences (NCBS) in Bangalore, India. Initiated by Ron Vale, Nico Stuurman (from UCSF), H. Krishnamurthy
and myself (at NCBS five years ago), this year's course is once again organized by us with the additional help of Kurt Thorn (UCSF), Jason Swedlow (University of Dundee) as well as Manoj Mathew (NCBS/CCAMP). This course provides didactic and hands-on training
in a variety of light microscopy techniques and is taught by outstanding international leaders in microscopy (see faculty in the attached poster). The course is supported by almost all major microscopy and camera vendors and is held in the first-rate teaching
labs and microscopy facilities at the NCBS. This course follows the previous four Bangalore Microscopy Courses, in 2009-12, which were terrific successes and made a big impact on the students who attended. As course instructors we also had a wonderful time
interacting with terrific students who attended the course.<br>
<br>
The course is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows (although an advanced undergraduate, faculty member, or industry scientist also would be welcome). The course is a truly international with students (and faculty) attending from Asia, Europe
and the US. <br>
<br>
<b>We would appreciate if you could encourage potentially interested and outstanding individuals to apply to the course.</b> While the deadline for applications is approaching fas (30th May 2013) - do let us know if there is a special student who you may
wish to recommend; each year the quality and therefore competition for spots on the course seem to increase.<br>
<br>
We also would appreciate if you could disseminate information about this course by word-of-mouth or via through email to graduate students/postdocs at your institution.<br>
<br>
Additional information and application procedure can be found on the course website: <br>
<a href="http://www.ncbs.res.in/events/microscopy2013">http://www.ncbs.res.in/events/microscopy2013</a><br>
<br>
The application deadline is 30-May-2013.<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
<br>
Jitu Mayor<br>
Professor, NCBS<br>
