[lm-announce] Fourth Bangalore Microscopy Course

[Samuel Swift]

Dear All,

Please see below for details of the 4th Bangalore Microscopy course.
Best,

Dear Colleagues

I would like to inform you about the fourth Bangalore Microscopy Course scheduled for Sep. 23-30, 2012, 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), this year's course is once again organized by us with the additional help of Kurt Thorn (UCSF) 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 three Bangalore Microscopy Courses, in 2009, 2010 and 2011 respectively, which were terrific successes and made a big impact on the students who attended.

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.

We would appreciate if you could encourage potentially interested and outstanding individuals to apply to the course.

We also would appreciate if you could disseminate information about this course by word-of-mouth or through email to graduate students/postdocs at your institution.

Additional information and applications can be found on the course website:

Best wishes

Professor, NCBS
