The United States Embassy, Nigeria is calling for applications from academically qualified, highly motivated, low-income students for the EducationUSA Opportunity Funds Program (OFP). OFP’s mission is to assist talented and determined, low-income students who are good candidates for financial assistance from U.S. colleges and universities but lack the financial resources to cover the up-front cost of obtaining admission. OFP works closely with students through regularly scheduled meetings and seminars to assist them throughout the application process to secure admission and scholarships to attend colleges and universities in the United States. OFP finances the cost of the application process, including registration fees for required standardized examinations and provides free membership to the U.S. EducationUSA Advising Center for its participants. Participants will work with EducationUSA Advisors from June 2017 – August 2018 to try to secure places and financial assi...

Homegirl was too busy running errands and cleaning up after others that she almost had no time to do quality work. This story reminded me of my days as an i...
If you are anything close to what I was about a year ago in the field of genome assembly - (an 'olodo' meaning I didn't know anything), then this webinar may be good for you. Of course, this is only for people whose research have anything to do with assemblies and bioinformatics. See an invite from Nick Oswald below: Hi Bitesizers, You're invited to join us for a webinar this Wednesday on DNA assembly methods—including design and helpful software tools. Flanking Homology DNA Assembly, Protocol Design Software, and Synthetic DNA who: Dr. Nathan Hillson, Director of Synthetic Biology Informatics at the Joint BioEnergy Institute when: Wednesday, Nov 15 4PM London, 11AM Boston, 8AM San Diego Here's what will be discussed * How flanking homology DNA assembly methods work * How to use web-based software to design experimental methods for flanking homology DNA assembly methods * How synthetic DNA fragments fit in to the DNA assembly process Click here...
