Kellogg Biological Station offers a full summer class schedule for hands-on field experience.
We have 3 special summer programs for graduate students (and advanced undergraduates) that require application for admission: *Microbial Metagenomics *Field Aquatic Ecology *ELME (Enhancing Linkages between Mathematics and Ecology) Please visit our summer course listing pages for more details, and to fill out an application! Scholarship support is available, as is on-site housing on lovely Gull Lake. http://www.kbs.msu.edu/education/summer-courses http://www.kbs.msu.edu/education/elme More details about the programs: MICROBIAL METAGENOMICS June 13th -- June 26th MTuWThFSat 9am - 5pm This course offers students opportunities to use state-of-the-art genomic methods to address questions about the structure and function of microbial communities. The primary pre-requisite is a keen interest in adding molecular methods to your research. FIELD AQUATIC ECOLOGY July 6th -- July 16th, TWF 8am-5pm The course will include general methods in aquatic ecology and limnology and will focus on the potential effects of global change on aquatic ecosystems. Students will learn both classical and novel, cutting-edge research approaches to field aquatic ecology. ELME (Enhancing Linkages between Mathematics and Ecology) The ELME program consists of three week-long courses in mathematical ecology. Students may also choose to take the Field Aquatic Ecology course, or an advanced Ecology/Evolution field course after the program, and apply what they have learned. Introduction to Theoretical Population Biology June 14 - June 18, 2010 (MTuWThF 9 am - 5 pm) Theoretical Community and Ecosystem Ecology June 21 - June 25, 2009 (MTuWThF 9 am - 5 pm) Maximum Likelihood Analysis in Ecology June 28 - July 2, 2009 (MTuWThF 9 am - 5 pm) Questions? contact [email protected] or [email protected] We hope to see you this summer! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen Pearson, PhD Assistant Director for Education and Outreach Kellogg Biological Station http://www.kbs.msu.edu [email protected]
