Introductory Workshops Half-day workshops are offered by CIPE and its certified CIPE instructors at the annual meetings of the National Association of Biology Teachers, National Science Teachers Association, and other professional organizations. Content-Specific Workshops CIPE conducts content specific workshops on using GIS and image analysis to teach anatomy and physiology, biology, biotechnology, environmental science, marine science, physics, and other topics. Teaching Biotechnology through Image Processing Digital image processing and analysis are powerful tools for learning. Using simple but sophisticated software developed at the National Institutes of Heal, learn how you and your students can create, process, and analyze digital images from the fields of medicine, cell biology, genetics, biotechnology and more. Lessons created with funding from the NSF will be presended.
Participants receive a packet containing instructional materials.
