米国コールドスプリングハーバー研究所において開催される技術講習会・Cell and Developmental Biology of Xenopusへの参加者募集の連絡が入りました。ツメガエル胚を使った各種の技術講習に加え、講習会期間中には各分野の第一人者の研究者が訪れてレクチャーを行ないます。
私も大学院生の時に参加して非常に刺激を受けました。参加者はカードキーを渡されており実験棟へ出入り自由なため、早朝から深夜まで1日20時間近く実験を楽しんだことを懐かしく思い出します。 (時差ボケのため、深夜も実験して日本へ国際電話もかけることもできました。講習会中に行なったin situは後に論文のデータにもなりました。)
大学院生や若手研究員の皆様は、是非、ワトソン博士が率いるコールドスプリングハーバー研究所での講習会へ参加してみてはいかがでしょうか。 (海外での研究体験や、Instructor/Lecturerと留学先の交渉も出来るでしょう)

From Amy Sater and Jerry Thomsen:
Greetings Colleague - -
Amy Sater and I am emailing to tell you that we have a few more openings for participants in the upcoming CSHL course: Cell and Developmental Biology of Xenopus, happening April 5-16, 2013. Please inform any potentially interested colleague, postdoc, or grad student (or maybe you would like to participate?
The course provides an intensive, hands on learning experience that is especially beneficial for graduate students and postdocs who are new to the system. We will cover core methods (e.g. whole mount in situ hybridization, tissue grafting, microscopy and husbandry) but we will also get a dose of emerging applications such as chromatin IP, TALEN mutagenesis, genomics, and of course microscopic analysis.
Course details and application: http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/2013/c-xeno13.shtml
Yes, sending a student will cost some $, \, £, €, ﷼, ₴ or possibly even лв (or other), we know that your investment will be worthwhile. The hands-on training and personal connections with experts in our field will definitely repay the cost by reducing wasted time, effort and over the long run (especially when you consider that your participant will disseminate the methods to your lab members). If yours happens to be a US domestic applicant, there will be about a 50% tuition subsidy (thanks to NIH funds - yes we still have them).
The application process has been extended until February 21, so send us a worthy applicant! Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Best wishes, Jerry Thomsen and Amy Sater
