"Outreach and Training" activities for RBVI annual report and competitive grant renewals

This wiki encompasses all RBVI outreach and training activities, not just those related to Chimera.

The overall goal of the training component of the RBVI is twofold: to improve the general understanding of our technologies in the appropriate population and to create a cadre of biomedical researchers trained in the technology so that they can effectively apply it in their own research.

Each entry below should include the following:

 * Title of event (e.g., EMBO electron microscopy workshop)
 * Nature of training (e.g., hands-on use of Chimera volume visualization tools)
 * Date(s)
 * Location
 * RBVI staff involved
 * Hours of instruction (includes lectures, labs, and prep time)
 * Number of attendees
 * Comments/remarks/related URLs (e.g., students brought their own data sets for analysis)
