Training Core

培训和教育核心将为杜克大学超级基金基础研究中心提供教育支持。中心将是我们每周一次的研讨会系列，将有当地和国家的全方位环境和生物医学毒理学的演讲者，以帮助该中心的学生、博士后、技术人员和教职员工跟上最新的研究成果。通过让所有项目的成员参加不同的演示，我们将促进对中心不同方面的相互了解。通过博士后项目，我们将招募研究员在中心不同项目之间进行合作研究。我们将举办关于最新科学技术研究方法的讲习班以及关于科学交流技能的讲习班，以帮助我们向我们的科学同事和更广泛的社会有效地传达我们的研究成果。每个月我们将举行一次非正式的粉笔会谈，所有的项目将依次讨论他们的最新结果和未来研究的计划。这些集思广益的会议在开发中心内部的新合作方面特别有用。每学期我们将举办一次为期一天的关于毒理学重点领域的研讨会，以深入了解如何通过合作努力有效地解决特定的毒理学问题。

The training and education core will provide educational support for the Duke University Superfund Basic Research Center. The centerpiece will be our weekly seminar series which will feature local and national speakers of the full range of environmental and biomedical toxicology to help the students, postdocs, technicians and faculty of the center keep up with the latest research findings. By having members from all the projects attend the diverse presentations, we will foster mutual understanding of the diverse aspects of the center. With the postdoctoral program we will recruit fellows to conduct collaborative research among the different projects in the center. We will host workshops on research methods of the latest scientific techniques as well as workshops on scientific communication skills to help us effectively convey our research to our scientific colleagues and the broader society. Once a month we will have informal chalk talks in which all of the projects will in turn discuss their latest results and plans for future studies. These brainstorming sessions have been especially useful in developing new collaborations within the center. Once per semester we will host a day-long symposium on a focused area of toxicology to learn in depth the ways in which specific toxicological problems can be effectively addressed in a collaborative effort.
