FYI: for those interested in the ESRIC super-resolution summer school, there are now travel bursaries – see below.

Round Two of registration for the Super-Resolution 5-day residential course is OPEN and will close on March 31st!

Thanks to the Wellcome Trust’s support this year we are going to be able to offer Travel Bursaries to Post Doctorate researchers to help offset the cost of attending the course. The amount available will be dependent on the number accepted but will be in the region of £150 - £250.

Details:

The ESRIC Summer School is a five-day residential course held in Edinburgh during the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival.

The course is designed to give participants a thorough grounding in super-resolution microscopy in an informal and intimate setting. It brings together leading academics and the major suppliers of super-resolution microscopes to provide expertise and guidance in structured illumination microscopy (SIM), stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED), AiryScan Microscopy and single molecule localization microscopies (PALM, sptPALM and dSTORM). The summer school will include informal lectures on the theory of these approaches, the benefits and limitations of each technology and how they can be applied to real world biological research questions.

This will be supported by extensive hands on workshops, using the latest equipment, from the major microscopy suppliers. In addition participants will have ample time to gain project specific advice from all of the academic experts and suppliers through dedicated Q&A sessions and informal social events. The course is suitable for anyone with prior experience of fluorescence microscopy looking to exploit the benefits of super-resolution microscopy in their research.
