Learning Outcomes

This course is not designed to impart Cube expertise, but instead to provide a review of key topics that form a conceptual and practical foundation upon which The Cube project is based—topics that may position enrollees to better appreciate, understand and participate in aspects of The Cube.

Target Audience

This course is designed to meet the needs of JAX research trainees -- Postbacc Fellows, Postbacc Researchers, Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Associates -- but is open to all JAX team members.
