McCrone Microscopy Training Course Schedule
IMPORTANT MESSAGE (COVID-19) UPDATE: We are closely monitoring the situation related to coronavirus by following and continually adapting to the recommended guidelines outlined by local, state, and national public health agencies including the CDC. At this time, the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago have issued a Stay at Home order through April 30, 2020. In adherence with this order, we at McCrone Research Institute in Chicago are confident that we are acting in the best interest of the health and well being of our students, instructors, staff, and the greater community. We will temporarily cease normal business operations and all but essential personnel will work at home while maintaining our not-for-profit mission of scientific education, research, and publishing. We are doing our part in trying to “flatten the curve” and control the spread of COVID-19 by staying at home, distancing ourselves from one another, and washing our hands.
