Experimental Biology 2013 will take place on April 20-24 in Boston as scheduled and MBF will be in attendance. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the recent tragedy in Boston. Visit us at booth #968 and learn about the benefits of using Biolucida Cloud for medical education. Biolucida Cloud is software that simulates the experience of using a light microscope when used in conjunction with virtual slides....

On April 10 (12-1pm EDT), discover the educational benefits of using virtual slides for teaching histology and pathology with Professor Robert Ogilvie and Dr. Nathan O’Connor. The presenters will create educational course materials and simulate teaching during the webinar so that attendees can experience Biolucida from both the educator's and the student's standpoints. Through a practical demonstration of Biolucida Cloud, attendees will learn how to organize...
