[advanced climate dynamics - ACDC is fun tho in totally different area]

I know william mair spoke of minicourses too

Don’t forget neurotech/BCI minicourses, TEM/AFM minicourses, and analytical chemistry/microfluidics/synthace ones. Many companies offer training to use their own products [NOTE: most aging biologists do not need these, but there is more uniqueness upside risk for some people them]

Michael Nielsen once said we should make the “basic course unit” smaller [which I fully agree with - it gives you more to sample what works really well with you (shittiness in semester-long biology courses is often highly correlated with shittiness in adjacent semester-long biology courses, making some biology majors end up hating biology when they didn’t need to - EXAMPLE HERE jsomers.net | I should have loved biology)]

2023 Neuropixels and OpenScope Workshop

In this workshop, participants will gain in-depth exposure to the tools and techniques used by the Allen Institute to collect in vivo physiology data at scale.

EMBO workshops, neuroscope workshops

ofc, my favorite ever was the ACDC (climate dynamics) one
