Applications available from the Science Education Center, Univ. For questions about content, contact the instructor. The Institute will include a wide range of field courses, such as Geo-Botany, Conservation Biology, Biology of Fishes, Birds of the Siskiyous, Ethnobotany, Nature Writing, etc. Each course will be taught by a leader in their respective areas of study, and many of the courses can be taken for college credit through Southern Oregon University. During the summer of 1998, Indiana University's Department of Biology, in cooperation with the I.U. Division of Continuing Studies, will offer two week-long laboratory courses focusing on the techniques and procedures used in recombinant DNA research and their application.
Participants also have the opportunity to work with a DNA sample of their own research organism.
Both courses will be taught on the Indiana University campus in Bloomington. Most of the procedures that are taught to biology graduate students in the recombinant DNA section of a graduate techniques course at Indiana University will be covered. Participants can make arrangements to isolate genomic DNA from their own research organisms during the course. The course is scheduled for June 7-12, 1998. Registration deadline is May 15.
