This course is designed in a “Train-the-Trainer” format and is aimed at imaging core facility professionals who currently run or plan to run courses on fundamental topics in light microscopy for their imaging communities. It is not a microscopy course; rather, it is a course designed to train imaging core facility professionals on how to organize and deliver effective training programs.
The course will provide participants with suggested content for each topic, annotated lecture slides, hands-on laboratory activities, trainer guides, and information on course organization and logistics. Topics will be presented as modules, and both the instructors and participants will engage in dynamic discussions, including exploring ways to expand, share, and continuously improve the module content.
This course is open to imaging core facility professionals or service providers in microscopy who are regularly involved in microscopy teaching.
This event will take place in-person at the University of Melbourne’s Parkville campus.
