Thirteenth Annual Summer Workshop: Hardware and Software Experiments to Teach Neuroscience. Kevin participated in an earlier version of this workshop and got a lot out of it.
During 2019, partial costs associated with the Workshop (lodging in MU dorms + meals) will be provided by a grant. See Neuro Workshop Flyer Summer 2019 my-ap.us/2AjU3Hb 1-week Summer Course July 14 to July 20, 2019 Starts at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 14, and ends at 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 20 (travel days of Sunday 14 July and Sunday 21 July) Limited to 10 participants Deadline of February 15, 2019 Review of applications may begin earlier 2 | Ganglion cells

Light-sensitive ganglion cells contain the visual pigment melanopsin that is involved a non-imaging kind of vision that helps us detect sunlight levels in our environment. This information helps us sync our biological clocks to our environment—and may affect our mood.

4 | Dissections lists
19.5 minutes
Dissection lists are a type of "lab list" in which each structure required for discovery, familiarization, and/or mastery is listed in a clearly organized handout. This handout can be used by students for organizing learning and clarifying their learning objectives—and by teachers to help monitor student progress for effective coaching.

7 minutes
A simple handout with photographs of dissection specimens can be used by students to walk through their dissection activity before they arrive in the lab. This gives them a stronger preparation that a "cold start" in lab, which often gets chaotic of students aren't practiced in finding structures.
A similar approach can be used for learning the skeleton Described in Episode 10: Nine Super Strategies for Teaching the Skeleton
