> Folks, we would like to announce that enrollment for Quantitative  
> Fluorescence Microscopy 2k10 at the Mount Desert Island Marine  
> Laboratory in Maine is now open.  The tremendous success of the  
> course over the last several years has encouraged us to run it again  
> next year, and as it is December it is time to start our enrollment.
>
> This is an intensive lab/lecture course, focusing on fluorescence  
> microscopy in all its forms, including widefield, Confocal,  
> Multiphoton, Decon, TIRF, FRET etc, though with an emphasis on live  
> cell methods.
>
> We also encourage students to provide their own specimens such that  
> the hands on components of the course are as enriching as possible  
> (in fact last year at one point, the technical help were growing 64  
> different cell lines for our students).
>
> Enrollment is highly competitive, so if you think that you or your  
> colleagues would benefit from the course please enroll as soon as  
> possible.
>
>
> As the course is moving into its second decade, we have decided to  
> make a couple of significant changes to the enrollment process:
>
>
> 1: Perhaps the most important is that Alumni are eligible to  
> return.   Because we made sweeping changes in the curriculum and  
> faculty last year, and  all aspects of imaging have advanced  
> enormously since we started the course we feel it is time to allow  
> past students to take the course again.    So... alumni... you are  
> welcome to return to the course.  Please point out that you are an  
> alumnus in the application (it won't affect eligibility).
>
>
> 2: The second big change which has been driven by a  common student  
> request that we have rolling admissions.  We have decided to act on  
> this.  Our first student group will be accepted late this month,  
> then February and the final group in April. There are no particular  
> quotas for each block, rather students should have good projects  
> that suit the flavor and goals of the course.
>
> The dates for course are from Saturday June 12 to the following  
> Friday (June 18th) .
