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

摘要：Gretz 0231109 密歇根技术大学的 Gretz 博士获得了一项奖励，以在 2002 年美国植物学会全国会议期间举办现代仪器方法研讨会。科学家使用的工具定义了他们今天比以往任何时候都能够在更大程度上执行的科学。对于现代生物学家来说，复杂的计算机集成仪器知识至关重要。下一代生物学家必须熟悉遥感仪器、基因组/蛋白质组技术和现代成像方法等现代工具，才能接受良好的培训并提高工作效率。现代方法讲习班将于 2002 年 8 月在威斯康星州麦迪逊市与 2002 年植物学会议同时举行，该会议是几个国家科学组织的联合会议，预计将有 1500 名与会者参加。本次研讨会将为参与者提供水生机器人、遥感、分子生物学和先进显微镜等不同领域当前方法的直接体验。其形式是每天四次 2-3 小时的课程。该研讨会旨在为科学家提供学习其感兴趣领域之外的技术的机会，其复杂程度足以鼓励学科之间的技术转移。通过向合格的学生提供旅行和生活补贴来鼓励学生参与。

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.
