courses on basic worm laboratory techniques

Dear all,

I am a bioinformatician and have not worked in a ‘wet’ laboratory since my undergraduate days.
However, I am keen to refresh my laboratory skills, so that I can go into the lab to test some of my bioinformatic predictions.
I am wondering does anybody know of any short courses (eg. 1 day to one month) in basic C. elegans (or nematode) laboratory techniques?
I would like to learn skills useful for C. elegans experiments such as propagating worms, RNAi, etc.
I think there used to be such a course at the Sanger Institute but it does not seem to be running any more.
If you know if any courses, I would be very grateful if you can let me know.

regards,

Cold Spring Harbor offers a laboratory course for C. elegans. Information can be found at their website.
