One of the major challenges of science education is the rapidly changing technology that needs to be integrated with the teaching–learning process so that the high benchmarks in education are sustained.
Technology transfers from research labs to educationists involve lasting interactions and this is what we propose to initiate in this Science Academies Refresher Course on ‘Techniques in Neurosciences – From Behaviour to Molecules’. Neuroscience is increasingly included in undergraduate and post-graduate syllabi and techniques used in this area deserve focussed consideration. This Refresher Course aims at providing hands-on training in model systems to study neurosciences at organismic, cellular and molecular levels. The Course will also comprise lecturedemonstration sessions on advanced techniques in elucidating gene expression. While the theme remains neurosciences, the techniques have wider applications and would be of use to almost all biology teachers including those teaching biotechnology, zoology, microbiology and life sciences.
Individuals who wish to participate in the Refresher Course may apply with following details: name, date of birth, sex, e-mail, official and residential addresses, telephone numbers, academic qualifications, courses taught, position held and a brief statement indicating the reasons for interest in participating in the course. Outstation candidates will be provided accommodation and round trip bus/train fare (three tiers AC) by the shortest route.
