2. C-MORE Summer Course 2015
This is the 10th year we have run this course. Many of the course leaders (Karl, DeLong, Church, Steward, Björkman, Doggett, Clemente) have been apart of every course.
You are now part of a large (155 students) international cohort of summer course students and faculty. Take advantage of that network.

5. C-MORE was conceived to facilitate understanding of the biological and ecological role of marine microorganisms.
Based at the University of Hawaii, with partners at UCSC, MBARI, OSU, WHOI, MIT, and Columbia U.
NSF funded Science and Technology Center; 10 year program began in August 2006.
Receives leveraged funding for research and education, including support from the Agouron Institute, Simons Foundation, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
The merger of research and education is integral to C-MORE’s mission. This course was created to help train the next generation of leaders in microbial oceanography (THAT’S YOU!).
