Connectionists: Optics and Microscopy Workshop, Goniądz, Poland - Deadline April 10rh

[Mateusz Kostecki]

Dear Colleagues

We would like to remind you that the deadline for registration to
our Optics and Microscopy Workshop is April 10th!

The workshop will be a *thorough, hands – on introduction to optics and
microscopy*. With our instructor, Fred Marbach from Crick Institute, we
will start from absolute basics – *photons, ray diagrams and lenses*; then
move to building simple optical system, just to *end up building DIY
bright-field and fluorescent microscopes.* We will image neurons
(hopefully!), and understand every last bit of how that image came to be
(this is a certainty!).

During the workshop you will build an intuition for optics, allowing you to
reason about optical systems found in the lab (and in publications): you
will understand the equipment you are using on a much deeper level.

Workshop will take place *May 10-12th in Goniądz*, in Dwór Bartla,
overlooking the beautiful Biebrza river, which at this time of the year
provides great opportunities for birdwatching. The deadline for
registration is April 5th,* the cost of the workshop is EUR 250 (but we
provide fee waivers if needed)*. The cost includes the r*egistration fee,
accommodation, breakfast and lunch.* Please find the registration form and

Best!
