Achievement

IGERT-LifeChips trainees are required to participate in a two week "boot camp" during the summer. The 2010 book camp took place from August 30, 2010 through September 10, 2010. During the first week of boot camp, trainees are coached by professors from different departments in a wide variety of technology and life science methods including prototyping, microscopy, flow cytometry, and microfabrication. During week two of boot camp, students are given the opportunity to act as instructors by cross-training their peers. This year we had a camera crew documenting our boot camp and an IGERT-LifeChips Boot Camp video is currently being edited. Additional boot camp details and photographs will be provided in the highlights section.
