Mathematical Biosciences Institute: 2007 Calendar Available
The Mathematical Biology Institute (MBI) at the Ohio State University is one of the nation's best places for mathematicians, computer scientist, and statisticians to come together with professionals in the life scientists to work on (or learn about) questions in an interdisciplinary fashion. The MBI 2007 calendar was just shared on the SMB listserv, and I wanted to call people's attendion to three events: the MBI summer program for undergraduates, a summer program in systems physiology for faculty and strong students, and two special workshops of interst to faculty.
2007 Summer Program in Mathematical Biology for Undergraduates, July 9 - 20. The program consists of two parts: (a) two weeks of introductory lectures plus short projects and a computer lab, and (b) a summer long research experience (6 weeks to be followed immediately after the 2 weeks) devoted to projects in the interface of mathematics, statistics, and biological sciences.
2007 Summer Program in Systems Physiology, July 23 - August 10. Each summer the MBI hosts a 3-week education program. The first week is spent in a tutorial. The following 2 weeks are spent working on guided team projects. The program is meant primarily for graduate students; college instructors and qualified undergraduates will also be considered.
Special events and workshops. March 23-25, 2007: Workshop - "Opportunities in Mathematical Biology for Under-represented Groups" March 23-25, 2007 (Organizers: Carlos Castillo Chavez, Trachette Jackson, Simon Levin, and Abdul-Aziz Yakubu); June 1-2, 2007: Education Workshop - "Mathematics in the Undergraduate Curriculum in Biology" (Organizers: Linda Allen, Steve Deckelman, Jennifer Galovich, and Libby Marschall)
