Cold Spring Harbor 2016 Synthetic Biology course
February 8
The instructors of the the 2016 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Summer Course in Synthetic Biology are excited to announce that we are accepting applications. The deadline is the 15th of April and the course takes place from the 2-15th of August, 2016. You, colleagues, and/or trainees are encouraged to apply if you are a senior graduate student to junior faculty and beyond, and starting out in synbio or interested in a multi-disciplinary approach to biology and bioengineering. We encourage students of all backgrounds, whether the very biological or very theoretical, to apply!
Over the the past three years, graduate students, postdocs, industry professionals, high school STEM research leaders, and junior faculty have completed our exciting, hands-on two-week class. The Course centers around an immersive laboratory experience. Here, students will work in teams to learn the practical and theoretical underpinnings of cutting edge research in the area of Synthetic Biology. In addition, students will gain a broad overview of current applications of synthetic biology by interacting with a panel of internationally-recognized speakers from academia and industry during seminars, lab work, social activities.
Several stipend awards are available for applicants who are accepted into the course. To be considered for an award, please reference which one you are eligible for in the Stipend Request section of your application.
Looking for volunteers in the US for synbio engagement
January 21
Hello everyone! Are you interested in engaging the public and getting communication skill support? In the summer of 2016, 200 science museums and other sites across the U.S. will be conducting hands-on activities and forum conversations to engage the public with synthetic biology. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the Building with Biology project seeks to encourage information sharing between scientists and members of the public. If you're a student or practicing scientist in synthetic biology or a related field, sign up today to express your interest in participating at a location near you!
