14th Workshop on Cyanobacteria: Promoting collaborative science and early career scientists in the field of cyanobacterial physiology and applications

该奖项将支持早期职业研究人员参加第14届蓝藻研讨会。会议将于2022年6月16日至19日在密歇根州东兰辛市的密歇根州立大学主校区举行。这次会议旨在通过将工程师和生命科学研究人员聚集在同一地点来促进协作、跨学科的研究。会议的设计是高度互动的，包括演讲、海报会议和非正式会议。会议将包括细胞生物学、合成生物学、光合作用和新陈代谢以及微生物生态学等主题。蓝藻系列研讨会是一个由来已久的会议，汇聚了蓝藻生物学和生物技术领域的国际研究科学家团队。讲习班提供了一个独特的机会，促进来自多个学科的研究人员之间的密集和富有成效的交流，这些研究人员都对蓝藻有共同的兴趣，要么将其作为研究的直接主题，要么作为研究基本科学问题的实验模型。与蓝藻系列研讨会的传统保持一致，主要重点放在培训和纳入下一代科学家上。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will support early career researcher attendance at the 14th Workshop on Cyanobacteria. The conference will be held at the main campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan June 16-19 of 2022. The conference aims to promote collaborative, interdisciplinary research by bringing engineers and life science researchers together at the same venue. The conference is designed to be highly interactive, with talks, poster sessions and informal meetings. Conference sessions will include topics such as cell biology, synthetic biology, photosynthesis and metabolism, and microbial ecology. There will be ample opportunity for sharing the latest research results and for networking.The Workshop on Cyanobacteria series is a long-standing conference that brings together an international team of research scientists in the area of cyanobacterial biology and biotechnology. The Workshop presents a unique opportunity to facilitate intense and productive communication between researchers from multiple disciplines, all sharing a common interest in cyanobacteria either as the direct subject of their research or as experimental models to investigate fundamental scientific questions. Keeping with the traditions of the Workshop on Cyanobacteria series, a main focus is placed on the training and inclusion of the next generation of scientists.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
