2007 Bio-Link Summer Fellows Workshop

By sporte on March 10, 2007.

It must be spring. Summer course announcements are popping up everywhere and this site is no exception.

Last Friday, I posted an announcement about our summer bioinformatics course in Alaska, June 27-29th.

This week, I have a couple more conferences to announce. Naturally, I'll be at both of them, leading hands-on workshops for college and high school teachers in using the technology.

Today, I want to tell you about the Bio-Link Summer Fellows Workshop, June 4th-8th Berkeley, CA

I became involved with Bio-Link ten years ago when I was running the biotechnology program at Seattle Central Community College. Since that time, I've seen many of the people I've met through Bio-Link go on to accomplish amazing things with starting new programs, non-profit institutes, writing books, and providing leadership in many ways not only in biotechnology education, but science education as a whole.

If you are thinking of starting a biotechnology program, or you just want to learn about the state of the art in biotechnology education, the Bio-Link Summer Fellows Workshop is the place for you.

I wrote quite a bit about last year's Bio-Link conference and Bio-Link members, if you'd like to learn more about Bio-Link, and the kinds of people that you're likely to meet at the conference, be sure to check out these posts:

Send your application in soon, the information is at www.bio-link.org.

Blogging from Bio-Link, part I I am currently in Berkeley attending the 2006 Bio-Link summer fellows' workshop. It's hard to believe that it's been eight years since the first workshop was held. We're still meeting here in the same lovely Clark Kerr Center and I'm still, as every year, awed by the…
