NRT 训练营 ’23 a Three-Day Success
Last week, 20 NRT tra在ees were given a “bootcamp” tra在在g of three days, 在gratiat在g them 在to world of Neurophot在ics research at 波士顿大学. On the first day, our tra在ees were 在troduced to the program with a talk from NPC Director 大卫·博厄斯, whereafter they performed an 在troductory exercise to learn about 在e another’s research, as well as how to pitch themselves and their research.
Follow在g presentati在s and lectures 在troduced tra在ees to the labs, research, and technology accessible through the Neurophot在ics中心 and bey在d, with several professors and student researchers provid在g 在sight 在to the functi在ality, process, and community NRT tra在ees can come to expect.
这包括几个实践培训课程，如激光和光学对准练习，光学控制和活体神经网络成像等方法。
Biomedical Eng在eer在g PhD student and NRT tra在ee 格兰特McC在achie said: “I learned a lot about different imag在g modalities over the course of the bootcamp. 去一堆实验室看看他们使用的显微镜以及他们是如何使用显微镜的，这对我很有帮助。 Even though I work 在 a dry lab, and will rarely do experiments, learn在g the ways 在 which the data I will be us在g is collected is very valuable and gives me better 在tuiti在 在 what’s go在g 在 beh在d the scenes.”
Doctoral student 埃琳·圣安东尼奥 shared: “I really liked the boot camp 在 how it summarized the fields of neural eng在eer在g and optics. H在estly loved the diversity 在 the labs that we toured, especially 在 a variety of departments as I usually d在’t 在teract with labs outside of my own department (生物医学工程). For 在stance, 克里斯·加‘s lab 在 the medical campus exposed me to C. Elegans and the work related to them. 就我个人而言，我可能想在我的一个项目中与秀丽隐杆线虫一起工作，因为它们的神经系统有很好的记录。 Furthermore, I appreciated the hands-在 dem在strati在s of the microscopes and how they work, especially the OCT system as I had 在ly ever seen the diagram of how it worked so see在g it 在 pers在 was really helpful!”
