Making Disease more Infectiousness

The Ecology of Infectious Marine Disease Course is currently going on at the Friday Harbor Laboratories. This course will be a training program in invertebrate-pathogen ecology that will bring together and train the future leaders in this rapidly emerging, multidisciplinary field. The course will 1) survey host-pathogen interaction in the Friday Harbor region, 2) teach diagnostic tools for identifying viral, bacterial, protozoan and fungal infections of invertebrates, 3) teach approaches to examine the invertebrate innate immune response to different pathogens, and finally 4) use these...

Crowdfunding success!

Posted in Outreach, tumblelog

This has been reposted from our lab tumblelog My rockethub project closed today and it was an incredible success!  I raised $5,175 – more than my goal.  The success of this project was due to a group of family, friends, colleagues, and strangers who thought my project was cool and/or were intrigued by the crowdfunding model.  Overall, it was really awesome to see how many people got excited about science and wanted to help out.  Here are some pointers on how to make your own project a crowdfunding success: 1.
