Researchers that attended the Marine Biological Laboratory\u2019s workshop, held in 2011MOLEVOL\/WIKICOMMONS<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Every summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), a traditional research and education center in the United States, founded in 1888, hosts 1,4 thousand scientists and students from all over the world. The scientists and students conduct advanced studies and research in the fields of biology, biomedicine and ecology. This group joins the 275 scientists and technicians who work in the laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, conducting interdisciplinary research studies on such topics as ecology, microbiology, infectious diseases, and neurobiology. The MBL educational program, which offers six summer courses and many other special courses throughout the year, is renowned as the leading center for the training of experimental biologists. Fifty four Nobel Prize laureates have already been at the institute, to work or conduct research. The news is that MBL has entered into a partnership with the Institute of Biomedical Sciences (ICB) of the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP), for the purpose of holding joint courses in S\u00e3o Paulo in the second half of this year.<\/p>\n

Two courses are to be held. The first, on the Biology of Parasitism, is to take place from November 4 to November 9., and the second, on Neural Systems and Behavior, from December 9 to December 14 (information on the full program is available at www.icb.usp.br\/mblcourses\/<\/em>). The deadline for enrollment is August 31 and the objective is to attract researchers from all over the world. This initiative is part of the S\u00e3o Paulo School for Advanced Science (ESPCA) program, which is supported by FAPESP and whose objective is to increase the international exposure of the research work being conducted in S\u00e3o Paulo. This work is already competitive on a global scale. The program encourages researchers to organize short courses with visiting professors from S\u00e3o Paulo and from other countries. At least half of the audience is expected to consist of students and researchers from abroad . One of the aims is to arouse the interest of foreigners to work with scientists in S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n

The two courses will be the first such endeavor organized under the S\u00e3o Paulo School\/ESPCA program in partnership with an institution from abroad. \u201cI have no doubt that the MBL name will help attract prominent participants from abroad, \u201d says Maristela Martins de Camargo, a professor at the Immunology Department of the ICB, who is organizing the said courses. Maristela has worked as a visiting researcher at MBL and has attended summer courses there. In 1997, she attended the course on the Biology of Parasitism which will now be given in Brazil . \u201cThe foremost specialists in this field were there and gave suggestions on the work being conducted by the students. One of the characteristics of MBL courses is that there are no barriers between professors and students,\u201d she says. Maristela had the idea of proposing the courses when she heard that the Cold Spring Laboratory, which partners with the MBL, had organized similar partnerships in China. \u201cI proposed a partnership to MBL\u2019s director of education, who was very open to the idea.\u201d To make sure that the MBL cooperative atmosphere is replicated in Brazil, professors and students will share everything, from commuting to having meals at the restaurant in the beach hotel in the town of S\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o (SP), where the events will be held.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"USP, FAPESP and Marine Biological Laboratory hold courses","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[166],"tags":[209,224,226],"coauthors":[98],"class_list":["post-47960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-policies-st-en","tag-biology","tag-ecology","tag-education"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47960\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47960"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=47960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
