The training and education core will provide educational support for the Duke University Superfund Basic Research Center. The centerpiece will be our weekly seminar series which will feature local and national speakers of the full range of environmental and biomedical toxicology to help the students, postdocs, technicians and faculty of the center keep up with the latest research findings. By having members from all the projects attend the diverse presentations, we will foster mutual understanding of the diverse aspects of the center. With the postdoctoral program we will recruit fellows to conduct collaborative research among the different projects in the center. We will host workshops on research methods of the latest scientific techniques as well as workshops on scientific communication skills to help us effectively convey our research to our scientific colleagues and the broader society. Once a month we will have informal chalk talks in which all of the projects will in turn discuss their latest results and plans for future studies. These brainstorming sessions have been especially useful in developing new collaborations within the center. Once per semester we will host a day-long symposium on a focused area of toxicology to learn in depth the ways in which specific toxicological problems can be effectively addressed in a collaborative effort.

培训和教育核心将为杜克大学超级基金基础研究中心提供教育支持。中心活动将是我们每周举行的系列研讨会，其中将有当地和国家的演讲者介绍各种环境和生物医学毒理学，以帮助该中心的学生、博士后、技术人员和教员跟上最新的研究成果。通过让所有项目的成员参加不同的演示，我们将促进对中心各个方面的相互理解。通过博士后计划，我们将招募研究员在中心的不同项目之间进行合作研究。我们将举办有关最新科学技术研究方法的研讨会以及科学传播技巧研讨会，以帮助我们有效地将我们的研究成果传达给我们的科学同事和更广泛的社会。每月一次，我们将进行一次非正式的粉笔会谈，所有项目将依次讨论他们的最新成果和未来研究的计划。这些头脑风暴会议对于在中心内开展新的合作特别有用。每学期一次，我们将举办一次为期一天的毒理学重点领域研讨会，深入了解通过合作有效解决特定毒理学问题的方法。
