A small slice of my real life day job that might be of interest to some of you. I'll be teaching some of the lectures in this class next summer (winter in Uruguay). Does anyone think this may give us some ideas and locales for another novel set in Montevideo?
Course and Workshop on Cyanotoxins in aquatic systems: Monitoring and
analytical methods.
The
course will review the current knowledge on the factors that determine the
development of cyanobacterial blooms and their toxins (cyanotoxins)
in aquatic systems, as well as the main environmental and health issues related
to the problem. With this background, the
available monitoring and analytical tools will be presented. The basis for a better management of the phenomenon
will be also
discussed.
The
approach is interdisciplinary and the course is aimed at students and
researchers from different fields of knowledge
(chemistry, biology, veterinary medicine, human medicine, etc).
