2003 Summer Graduate Program
Each summer the MBI hosts a 3-week education program. The first week is spent in a tutorial, which combines morning lectures with active learning laboratories in the afternoon. The following 2 weeks are spent working on guided team projects and participating in a mini-conference to share project results. The 40 participants include 10 undergraduate students, 10 graduate students, 10 college teachers, and 10 high school teachers.
The 2003 summer program in Neuronal Rhythms is scheduled for July 14th to August 1st.
