<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteThemeFontFace-2">This is a final reminder for the collaborative IMOD/PEET workshop with The University of Colorado, Boulder to be held at Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, <strong>June
26-30, 2017</strong>. The workshop is limited to </span><b class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteThemeFontFace-2">20 participants</b><span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteThemeFontFace-2"> with lead instructors John Heumann, David Mastronarde, and Cindi Schwartz teaching
many aspects of cryo-tomography from acquisition to analysis via sub-tomogram averaging. </span><b class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteThemeFontFace-2">Applications are due by December 23, 2016. </b><span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteThemeFontFace-2">A list of
participants/alternates and the final agenda will be determined by </span><b class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteThemeFontFace-2">January 31, 2017</b><span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteThemeFontFace-2">. Participation is free, however participants are expected to

<span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteThemeFontFace-2" style="font-size: 16px;">This comprehensive course will cover batch data acquisition using SerialEM, batch tomogram reconstruction using IMOD, and sub-tomogram averaging using PEET. Participants will work
through sample data in the new RML Computer Learning Center and time will be allotted to go over participants’ own problematic data. Previous experience with tomographic reconstruction in IMOD is required. Experience with PEET is preferred and highly recommended.</span></div>
