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出席第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的密歇根州立大学主校区举行。该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，促进合作、跨学科研究。会议设计为高度互动，有演讲、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、光合作用和代谢以及微生物生态学等主题。届时将有充足的机会分享最新的研究成果并建立网络。蓝藻系列研讨会是一个长期的会议，汇集了蓝藻生物学和生物技术领域的研究科学家的国际团队。研讨会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激烈和富有成效的交流，所有人都对蓝藻有共同的兴趣，无论是作为他们研究的直接主题还是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。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
