Live Imaging
I would like to suggest "Live Imaging" as a possible workshop topic.
Given that high resolution imaging in vivo is one of the biggest
strengths of zebrafish , this session could highlight some of the
significant advances that have come from using imaging approaches and
also show the applications of newer techniques like TIRF. I think
the community would benefit from such a session.

Zebrafish in the Undergraduate Classroom
The same characteristics that make zebrafish a powerful system for basic research also make it excellent for giving undergraduate students hands-on experience with experimental science. As the field of zebrafish biology grows, there is an increasing number of researchers using zebrafish for undergraduate teaching. The goal of this workshop is to develop methods for sharing protocols, teaching tools, and ideas for using zebrafish in education.
At the last meeting in Madison this workshop gave an introduction to selected undergraduate zebrafish courses that have already been created, and discuss how ideas and protocols for using zebrafish in the classroom can be shared. Provide ideas for discussion topics or volunteer to present your experiences in undergraduate teaching. Additionally discussion on undergraduate research in zebrafish laboratories could be presented during this workshop. Any ideas on amount of discussion time, topics to be discussed, or volunteers to present are welcome!

High throughput methods for behavioral video analysis
Audience : Researchers working on zebrafish and willing to analyze behavior by mean of imaging techniques.
This workshop will show a state of the art based on the past 4 years behavioral studies, focusing on Movement characterization (Locomotor activity), Behavioral stereotypes (C shape, S shape) and other Behavioral tests (Mirror test, T maze,Place preference test).
We will then discuss on new challenges for those methods. Especially focusing on High throughput applications : Larvae behavior analysis, Adult schooling analysis, Chronobiology and circadian rhythms, Group screening ...
