Veronica Hinman Proposal number (IOS-0814287)This award supplements travel costs for approximately 20 students to attend the 18th conference on the "Developmental Biology of the Sea Urchin". Sea urchins are one of the best model organisms for understanding how genes regulate development, in large part due to the technical ease with which complex molecular biological procedures can be undertaken using their embryos. Sea urchins are also one of the mainstays of undergraduate teaching labs as they are easy to obtain, culture, view and handle. This meeting will be the first since the publication in September 2006 of the genome sequence of the purple sea urchin and hence will particularly focus on the use and development of genomics-based tools and resources to enhance research, and also to discuss ways in which undergraduate curricula can include genomics approaches with traditional teaching uses of the sea urchin. Utilizing curricula that combines experimental and computational experiences and a familiarity of genomics resources is of foremost importance in training undergraduate and graduate students for careers in modern biology. This meeting brings together the world's leading sea urchin biologists, scientists with experience in building and using genomics tools and faculty with experience in creating and implementing undergraduate research based curricula. This provides fertile ground for new and exciting ways to invigorate the sea urchin field, genomics research, and undergraduate education. Approximately 150 attendees are anticipated, which, in the past, has provided an intimate setting for informal discussion and initiation of new ideas and collaborations. This meeting provides opportunity for students to present their work (often for the first time), fosters new collaborations between scientists and educators, and aids in development of new undergraduate curricula. The program is well-balanced with respect to gender.

Veronica Hinman提案编号（IOS-0814287）该奖项为大约20名学生提供了旅行费用，参加了第18届“海胆发展生物学”会议。 海胆是理解基因如何调节发育的最佳模型生物之一，这在很大程度上是由于使用其胚胎可以进行复杂的分子生物学方法的技术易用性。 海胆也是本科教学实验室的支柱之一，因为它们易于获得，文化，视野和处理。 这次会议将是自2006年9月出版的紫色海胆基因组序列以来的第一次，因此将特别关注基于基因组学的工具和资源来增强研究的使用和开发，并讨论本科课程可以包括基因组学方法与海urchin的传统教学用途一起使用的方法。 利用结合实验和计算经验以及基因组资源熟悉的课程对于培训本科生和研究生的现代生物学职业至关重要。 这次会议汇集了世界领先的海胆生物学家，具有建立和使用基因组学工具和教师在创建和实施基于本科研究的课程方面的经验的科学家。 这为新的令人兴奋的方法提供了肥沃的基础，以激发海胆领域，基因组学研究和本科教育。 预计大约有150名与会者，过去，这为非正式的讨论和新想法和合作提供了亲密的环境。 这次会议为学生提供了介绍自己的工作的机会（通常是第一次），促进了科学家与教育工作者之间的新合作，并有助于开发新的本科课程。该计划在性别方面具有很好的平衡。
