Here is the only announcement for the "3rd Annual Scientific and Medical
Imaging Workshop: Ethics, Post-Processing, Output and Quantization." The
workshop is being held August 22 - 24, 2012 in Minneapolis, MN. This
workshop will educate those in science, medicine and engineering about
correct techniques when post-processing in Photoshop/ImageJ, and
adjusting images for outputs; along with techniques that work for
segmenting complex, biological images (for subsequent image analysis).

Please go to http://www.imagingandanalysis.com/seminars.html for more
information. There is a limit of 12 seats.

The cost is $490 for the 3-day course.

Here are some motivators:

* Imaging is time intensive, and ways to both speed up the process and
use proper methods would give researchers time to concentrate on other
tasks.

* Visual data in the form of images is often 50 percent of a
manuscript's content.  It's content is a reflection of the lab, and so
the quality and accuracy of images is as important as the written content.

* Researchers and PI's who self-report familiarity with imaging programs
like Photoshop may be using it improperly.

* Accusations of image fraud has risen rapidly in the last decade, to
the degree that NSF now requires ethics training.

* Scientific journals are increasingly setting tighter rules about what
can be done with images.

Learn how to avoid saving over original images, keep a history of
post-processing steps, apply the same steps to related images, set
thresholds objectively when quantifying, techniques for successfully
segmenting images, etc.

Hope to see you there!

Rotator cuff surgery Friday, typing slowly, will post announcement on your
class by tomorrow.  Is it full yet?  Hope so!
