Conference: A Biosensors Workshop and Speaker Session for the Advancement of Undergraduate Participation in Protein Science to be held in San Diego, CA on August 5-9, 2006

蛋白质学会的年度会议将来自全球社区的蛋白质科学家聚集在一起，讨论该领域的最新进展。该学会致力于为蛋白质科学的发展提供论坛。研讨会将让生物传感(即单分子成像)领域的专家和教育工作者共同努力，寻找在教学环境中应用专业知识和技术的有效方法。自2001年以来，该学会支持了一个教育委员会，其使命是指导发展中的科学家，提供教学讨论的机会，并协助教育工作者。资金将支持本科生参加蛋白质学会会议，参加本科生演讲会议。这一课程的目的是让学生有机会传播他们的工作，结识其他本科生科学家，并为研究生院建立联系。

The annual meeting of the Protein Society brings together protein scientists from a global community to meet and discuss the most recent advances in the field. The society is dedicated to providing forums for the advancement of protein science. The workshop will allow experts in the burgeoning field of biosensing (i.e., single molecule imaging) and educators to work together to figure out effective ways to implement the expertise and technology in the teaching environment.Broader Educational ImpactSince 2001, the society has supported an Education Committee, whose mission is to mentor developing scientists, provide opportunities for pedagogical discussion, and to assist educators. Funding will support undergraduate student travel to the Protein Society meeting for participation in an undergraduate speaker session. The session is designed to give students a chance to disseminate their work, meet other undergraduate student scientists, and to make contacts for graduate school.
