Colleagues,
This workshop is virtual this summer, and therefore available to students
worldwide. Please share with your student science enthusiasts.

> The Eleventh Annual Summer Workshop in Molecular Bioinformatics 2020
>
> The 2020 HWI Duax Summer Workshop will be held online from July 6 to July 24
> from 9 AM to 1 PM five days a week. We can accommodate 60 students. Students
> who commit to attend the entire three weeks will be given preference.
>
> Sessions will begin with the entire group at 9 AM for presentations and at 10
> AM break into study groups lead by HWI team leaders. The web accounts will
> be provided by HWI. The program will culminate with students doing online
> presentations for the full cohort as well as interested members of the
> community.
>
> First-time students must complete an application form with essay questions
> concerning their goals and motivations. COMPLETE THE APPLICATION HERE
> <https://hwi.buffalo.edu/summer-workshop-in-molecular-bioinformatics-application/%20>.
> We have been accepting students from 7th to 12th grades and have not
> rejected anyone who completed the application. There are no other
> prerequisites. Students will be accepted into the program in the order their
> completed application is received. If more than 60 applications are received,
> it may not be possible to accommodate the overflow.
>
> Description of Program
>
> Training is computer intensive. The students learn to use state of the art
> computer programs for amino and nucleic acid sequence analysis of the genomes
> of all bacteria and eukaryotes. The training includes the use of the most
> heavily used programs for biological analysis on the World Wide Web and a
> suite of unique programs developed in our laboratory for proteomic and
> genomic analysis. The students mine the data in the gene and protein banks of
> the world.
>
> The four major goals of the research are to determine (1) the origin and
> evolution of the genetic code, (2) the order of evolution of all bacterial
> species, (3) the nature of evolution of the sequence and function of families
> of proteins present in all species, and (4) the amino acid residues
> responsible for substrate specificity in families of enzymes.
>
> The students are not replicating previous experiments for which the results
> are already known. They are conducting experiments that have never been done
> before, that challenge basic tenets of structural biology. In this way
> students learn that genuine research demands flexibility, adaptability,
> creativity and patience.
>
> The students are given opportunities to present their research goals and
> results and their interpretation of their data to coworkers, classmates,
> laymen, and scientists.
>
> The Roy Carver Foundation and donations from various supporters make the HWI
> Duax High School Program possible. We thank them for their philanthropy.
>
> There is an attendance fee of $100 for the 2020 school and should be paid at
> the time of application. Fee waivers for students with demonstrated need are
> available.
