[FUN_Mail] CrawFLy January 2024

[Bruce Raymond Johnson]

Dear FUN Friends:

The next CrawFly Neuroscience Workshop will be offered January 5th through the 9th at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, TX.  CrawFly is entering its second decade of international teaching workshops for educators and trainees interested in Neuroscience.  This workshop is sponsored by ADInstruments and supported by A-M Systems, Inc.  We present training for lab exercises teaching fundamental principles of signal transmission in the nervous system, tutorials on the use of LabChart software for acquisition and analysis of electrophysiological data from crayfish and the control of behavior and synaptic transmission with opto-genetic stimulation of fruit flies.   Do-it-Yourself (DIY) sessions include construction of a new precision mini-manipulator, optogenetic light boxes, 3d printed recording electrode holders, and the building and use of an inexpensive DIY fluorescence microscope for teaching and research.  We brainstorm best practices in laboratory and classroom teaching, with various topics including interdisciplinary training for students and educators for big data neuroscience and the importance and implementation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion goals.  Current core faculty include Ron Hoy, David Deitcher and Bruce Johnson (Cornell University), Ilya Vilinsky (University of Cincinnati), Karen Hibbard (HHMI at Janelia Research Campus), Bob Wyttenbach (Emory University), Jim Ryan (Hobart-William Smith Colleges), Ulises Ricoy (University of Arizona) and ADInstruments educators lead by David Riem.   Special guests from Backyard Brains update their educational developments.   ADInstruments sponsors workshop scholarships to support established and beginning educators to increase opportunities for women and other groups lacking appropriate representation in Neuroscience.
