Modern Methods Workshop to be held August 4, 2002, Madison, Wisconsin

摘要：Gretz 0231109授予密歇根技术大学的Gretz博士一个奖项，以开发一个关于现代仪器方法的研讨会，该研讨会将在2002年美国植物学会全国会议期间举行。科学家使用的工具定义了他们今天能够比以往任何时候都更大程度地执行的科学。对现代生物学家来说，掌握复杂的计算机集成仪器是必不可少的。下一代生物学家必须熟悉现代工具，如遥感仪器、基因组/蛋白质组技术和现代成像方法，才能得到良好的培训和生产力。现代方法讲习班将于2002年8月在威斯康星州的麦迪逊与2002年植物学会议一起举行，这是几个国家科学组织的联合会议，预计将有1500人参加。该讲习班将使参加者直接体验水生机器人、遥感、分子生物学和先进显微镜等不同领域的现行方法。形式是四个2-3小时的会议分布在一天。讲习班旨在为科学家提供机会，使他们能够了解其感兴趣领域以外的技术，其复杂程度足以鼓励学科之间的技术转让。通过向合格的学生提供旅行和生活津贴来鼓励学生参与。

Abstract: Gretz 0231109An award was granted Dr Gretz of Michigan Technical University to develop a workshop on Modern Instrumentation Methods to be held during the 2002 Botanical Society of America national meeting. The tools scientists use define the science that they are capable of performing to a larger degree today than ever before. Knowledge of sophisticated, computer integrated instrumentation is essential for the modern biologist. The next generation of biologists must become familiar with modern tools such as remote sensing instruments, genomic/proteomic technologies and modern imaging methods to be well-trained and productive. The Modern Methods Workshop will be held in August 2002 in Madison,Wisconsin in conjunction with Botany 2002, a joint meeting of several national scientific organizations, at which 1500 participants are expected. This workshop will provide participants direct experience with current methodologies in such diverse areas as aquatic robotics, remote sensing, molecular biology and advanced microscopy. The format is four 2-3 hour sessions spread over a day. The workshop is designed to provide the opportunity for scientists to learn about techniques outside of their field of interest at a level of complexity sufficient to encourage technology transfer between disciplines. Student participation is encouraged through travel and subsistence awards to qualified students.
