The laboratory-intensive course will cover procedures, methodologies and up-to-date information about the Archaea, a group of microorganisms commonly found in what are considered harsh or extreme environments. The one-day symposium and subsequent three-day workshop provides introductory and intermediate level instruction in archaeal laboratory techniques, including growth, biochemistry, and genetics. A basic knowledge of microbiology and nucleic acid laboratory procedures is helpful. Full tuition scholarships will be available to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty from small colleges or universities pending a decision on our request for funding from the National Science Foundation. When available, scholarships will be given out on a first come first served basis so please apply early. We are also accepting registrations from industry. Detailed information, including a complete workshop schedule and registration information, is available here: http://www.umbi.umd.edu/%7Ecomb/facilities/workshops/workshops.html Scholarship application information can be found here: http://www.umbi.umd.edu/%7Ecomb/facilities/workshops/scholarship_application.html For further information please contact me at schreier@umbi.umd.edu.
