Wanted – info on workshops in and around Northern California on bioinformatics & genomics

I have been asked by multiple students about this topic and figured I would just put it out there.  I am trying to compile information  on workshops and short courses on topics relating to genomics or bioinformatics that are in the general area of Northern California (you know, Davis, Sacramento, SF, Berkeley, Stanford, Santa Cruz, etc).  This would include using specific tools (e.g., R, Galaxy, QIIME, and more) and specific fields (e.g., ecology, microbiology, genetics, plant biology).  Any information would be appreciated.

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis View all posts by Jonathan Eisen
