18th International Fall Stereology Workshop
"Applications of Unbiased Stereology To Neural Systems"
October 10-12, 2012New Orleans, Louisiana
18th Annual Fall Stereology WorkshopStart time/date: 8:30 AM Wednesday, October 10, 2012 End time/date: 5:00 PM Friday, October 12, 2012
Followed by the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neurosciences New Orleans, October 13-17, 2012.
Note: This is the original Fall Stereology Workshop that has been held annually since 1995 in conjunction with the Society For Neurosciences, and not associated with "other" Stereology Workshops, i.e., those not affiliated with the Stereology Resource Center. Early registration for this popular course is highly recommended to ensure a seat.
Workshop OrganizerThe founding director of the Stereology Workshop is Peter R. Mouton, Ph.D., Professor of Stereology in the Department of Pathology & Cell Biology at the University of South Florida School of Medicine in Tampa, Florida. Dr. Mouton is author of the two books on design-based (unbiased) stereology published by The Johns Hopkins University Press and author/coauthor of dozens of stereology studies and reviews in the peer-reviewed scientific literature during the past two decades.
Proven Teaching MethodsThe Stereology Workshop is the longest running, most cost-effective and comprehensive stereology training program in existence. Instructors provide a range of effective teaching techniques and formats proven by decades of experience. These approaches include formal PowerPoint lectures, data presentations, one-on-one instructor-participant sessions, and hands-on training with computerized systems. This workshop includes demonstration of computerized stereology systems and emphasizes the underlying theory and practices needed to design and complete studies using all commercially available systems for computerized stereology.
Stereology FacultyEstablished, professional teachers bring strong experience in study design, histology, and peer-review of stereology publications and funding applications. 
Since 1995 two internationally recognized experts in the field of unbiased stereology, Professors Mouton and Gokhale, have provided the leadership for these course.
Course Director: Peter R. Mouton, Ph.D., Professor of Stereology at the Department of Pathology & Cell Biology at the University of South Florida School of Medicine in Tampa, Florida, USA.
Co-Director: Arun M. Gokhale, Ph.D., Professor of Materials Sciences and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA, USA.
Stereology Workshop RegistrationIn honor of the return of the Annal Meeting of the Society For Neuroscience to New Orleans, Louisiana the first time since the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster, the registration costs for the 2012 Stereology Workshop in New Orleans are reduced to 2005 prices.
Regular registration (prior to August 10, 2012): $850 Late registration (after August 10, 2012): $900
Online registration for the 2012 Stereology Workshop in New Orleans opens January 2, 2012; or you may also contact the SRC (src@disector.com). Due to the limited number of seats and discounted hotel rooms for this popular workshop, early registration is highly recommended.
Participants of the Stereology Workshop receive full documentation of the presented materials, including all Power Point slides, a bound manual with 200+ pages of instructional materials, a wide range of relevant publications from peer-reviewed scientific journals, and instructional videos about proper data collection using computerized stereology systems.
Registration does not include travel to/from the hotel, other meals, sleeping accommodations, or incidental costs at the Stereology Workshop.
Only pre-registration accepted; no on-site registration.
