IUBS Darwin Symposia

The Allan Wilson Centre (AWCMEE) is pleased to host BioED2009 – one of six coordinated international events celebrating the birth of Charles Darwin: “Darwin 200 Symposia”. These meetings are being run under the auspices of the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS), Commission on Biological Education (CBE) and the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The aim of “Darwin 200 Symposia” is to celebrate the impact of Darwin’s ideas on current scientific knowledge, with scientific symposia and satellite meetings taking place on five continents. BioED2009 will bring together an international community of individuals interested in science, secondary and tertiary education. Since February 12, 2009, is the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and is 150 years since the publication of the “Origin of Species,” the life and legacy of Charles Darwin is at the heart of the proposed meeting. BioEd 2009 will promote understanding of biodiversity and the importance of evolutionary biology through an international exchange of ideas and knowledge about current research and education. It will embrace multiple cultural perspectives, technological advances, curricular practices and materials, informal education, and curiosity of the natural world.

ASM Faculty Institutes

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.

Workshop Title: ASM Summer Bioinformatics Institute

Dates: June 14-17, 2009

Location: U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute, Walnut Creek, CA

Application Deadline: February 15, 2009
