We’d like to thank everyone who came to our Physiology Educator workshops - in all, 146 attendees from 23 universities - at the Physiological Society of Nigeria and International Union of Physiological Sciences meeting in Lagos last month.

We’d like to congratulate the winners of the TReND-ADInstruments Student of the Year and Excellence awards from this year’s IBRO School on Insect Neuroscience and Drosophila Neurogenetics, held at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.

We’d like to congratulate Aderemi Aladeokin, a scientist from Nigeria, on winning the TReND-ADInstruments Scholarship to attend our most recent CrawFly Neurobiology Educators course.

In conjunction with the American Physiological Society ( APS ), ADInstruments is sponsoring the inaugural Institute on Teaching and Learning (ITL) - a new hands-on course for physiology educators. The ITL aims to engage educators from community college through professional school in interactive...

Only one day to go until the 93rd Annual Meeting of the German Physiological Society (DPG) begins in Mainz. Described as “three days of excellent science in a beautiful city on the Rhine,” the DPG meeting aims to foster interaction between different fields of physiology as well as offering...

Mahmoud Khalil, representing ADInstruments in the region, and Emeritus Professor Tony Macknight ran the session on “Next Generation Teaching Systems for Medical Education,” which explored the idea of active learning through technology, after the GCC Medical Education Conference at the Arabian Gulf University in Manama, in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The Sam Drogo Technology in the Classroom Award is an annual award for a Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) member who demonstrates the innovative use of technology to engage undergraduates in Human Anatomy and Physiology. This year we'd like to announce two winners of this award - Wendy Riggs and Aaron Fried.

We’re happy to announce the winner of the 2014 ADInstruments Macknight Early Career Innovative Educator Award, Dr. Aaron Bunker of Morningside College. Congratulations! The Macknight award is presented by the American Physiological Society in recognition of innovative teaching techniques and...

Applications for scholarships to attend the CrawFly Invertebrate Neurobiology course for Educators at Cornell University in June are open now. This time ADInstruments is working with TReND (Teaching and Research in Neuroscience for Development in Africa) to provide extra travel assistance to a scientist from Africa to attend this inspirational and practical course.

They're slow, spineless and slimy but if you think you don't have much in common with a snail, think again. Researchers are learning a surprising amount about the human brain by studying snails and we thought it was time to expand our snail neurophysiology session in the latest Crawdad educator's course.

Michigan State University has been helping local high school students prepare for the upcoming Brain Bee, with a series of weekend workshops. The latest was Brain Sparks, supported by ADInstruments, which used PowerLabs to study the electrical signals generated by the nervous system in crayfish, fruit flies and the students themselves.

Sometimes it’s the tiny details that make all the difference - in this case, a minor but important addition to the Welcome Center in LabChart 8 that lets you create easy access to shared data and settings.

Education is really important to everyone here - it's great to think that we can help teachers help students towards a career in life sciences - and every so often, we like to put ourselves on the receiving end of our LabTutor experiments.
