Colleagues,
The Histochemical Society Annual Meeting, Immunohistochemistry, Bridging 
the Gap Between Light and EM is still two months away but the deadline 
for abstract submission and award applications is this FRIDAY JAN. 19, 
2012.  There are many valuable awards offered each year and new ones 
have been added this year. The meeting dates are March 21-23, 2012 and 
registration is open!
Additionally, HCS is partnering with the MARC Awards to offer 
substantial travel awards ($1650.) to help support the participation of 
faculty/mentors, postdoctoral fellows, and students from minority 
institutions and historically black colleges and universities in the 
United States to attend the HCS Short Course. Faculty, students, and 
postdoctoral fellows of underrepresented groups from majority 
institutions are also eligible to apply for these travel awards. The 
MARC awards are available for undergraduate students as well.
Please visit the HCS Awards Page to consider the possibilities for 
deserving students, postdocs and faculty you know.

mix of lectures, discussion & hands-on lab sessions for understanding & 
implementing IHC & microscopy. Learn antibodies, fixation, antigen 
retrieval, direct/indirect IHC, detection, troubleshooting & ethics.
