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进步提供论坛。该研讨会将允许新兴生物传感领域（即单分子成像）的专家和教育工作者共同努力，找出有效的方法，将专业知识和技术应用于教学环境。更广泛的教育影响自2001年以来，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。资金将支持本科生前往蛋白质学会参加本科生演讲会议。这次会议的目的是让学生有机会传播他们的工作，与其他本科生科学家见面，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.
