ASM Summer Bioinformatics Institute – June 2009
02.13.09
The ASM Summer Bioinformatics Institute aims to meet the need for more undergraduate faculty in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines to understand, interpret, and use molecular sequence information to solve problems. The Institute features the analysis of microbial genomes, molecular sequences, and structural data, providing a framework for developing classroom activities and research projects for undergraduate students.
The Institute is directed to STEM faculty who teach undergraduate courses at community colleges, 4-year colleges, and research universities and who consider themselves true beginners when it comes to understanding and using bioinformatics tools. Preference will be given to faculty with limited or no previous training in bioinformatics and the genomic sciences.
There is a registration fee of $649 for ASM members or $799 for nonmembers to attend the Summer Bioinformatics Institute. The fee includes meals, beginning with dinner on the first day and ending with breakfast on the last morning.

Mathematical Biology Workshop – May, 2009
01.25.09
This workshop is for faculty interested in addressing the gap between mathematics and its application in biological problem solving. To support the observation, experimentation and modeling of data, the Numbers Count workshop will provide an introduction to data, tools, and curricular materials for use with undergraduates. We will also address the lack of context that impedes student learning—students rightfully ask themselves why should they need to integrate arcsin x if they want to become a physician?
Workshop Title: Numbers Count at the University of Tennessee – Knoxville
Dates: May 29-31, 2009
Location: Knoxville, Tennessee
Application Deadline: April 13, 2009
Project: Numbers Count! – data, tools, and curricular materials for use in the classroom to support student observation, experimentation and modeling
