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

摘要：Gretz 0231109密歇根技术大学的Gretz博士在2002年美国植物学会全国会议期间举办了一个关于现代仪器方法的研讨会。科学家使用的工具定义了他们今天比以往任何时候都能在更大程度上执行的科学。对现代生物学家来说，精密的计算机集成仪器的知识是必不可少的。下一代生物学家必须熟悉现代工具，如遥感仪器、基因组/蛋白质组学技术和现代成像方法，以得到良好的训练和生产力。现代方法研讨会将于2002年8月在威斯康辛州的麦迪逊与植物学2002一起举行，植物学2002是几个国家科学组织的联合会议，预计将有1500名与会者。本次研讨会将为参与者提供在水生机器人、遥感、分子生物学和先进显微镜等不同领域的当前方法的直接经验。其形式是每天进行4次2-3小时的会议。该研讨会的目的是为科学家提供机会，让他们了解自己感兴趣领域以外的技术，其复杂性足以鼓励学科之间的技术转让。通过向符合条件的学生提供旅行和生活补贴，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.
