This offering of the course has been CANCELED due to insufficient planned attendance.

We plan to reschedule the course offering and will contact those who expressed interest and better advertise to reach more attendees.

... a blend of lectures and lab demonstrations. This course will be held at the Oregon Medical Laser Center, Portland, Oregon, USA, during the week following the Gordon Research Conference on Lasers in Medicine and Biology.

In addition, there will be a Thursday day trip into Oregon wilds to study optical properties, and evening trips to microbreweries to ensure proper comprehension of the day's instruction.
