Training new students in research and analytical techniques is
essential. Within CRAWL, there is enough overlap of concepts and
techniques so that we can schedule much of this training into
summer workshops (Table 1). Our plan is to hold several 1- or 2-day
workshops early each summer on biological and mathematical
techniques. The learning will be hands-on and, in most instances,
will use current projects as case studies.
