Want to learn the principles of microscopy? Jeff Gelles writes:
Dear Life Sciences Ph.D. students,
This semester we will again be teaching the Quantitative Biology Instrumentation Lab course, QBIO 120b. This course, now in its third year, was developed with funding from HHMI. The course aims to give Ph.D. students who use (or will use) optical instruments in their research practical, hands-on training in the principles and practice of light microscopy (both phase and fluorescence), absorbance spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. A syllabus is attached.
The course is open to all students whether or not they participate in the Quantitative Biology program. However, space in the course is limited, so it would be a good idea for students who want to enroll to email me prior to the first meeting, which is Wed. January 14 at 2:00 in Abelson 335. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Jeff Gelles
Also, don’t forget about the Quantitative Biology Bootcamp next weekend.
