YET ANOTHER FERMENTATION TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP?

My, oh my! The local universities are back again offering some sort of fermentation technology workshop. What attract me in the recent brochure is the workshop on fermentor design and scaling up to be carried over four days.
The syllabus is nothing new and in fact never really delves into the ‘twists and turns’ of scaling up studies. Or could I have misread it? Maybe it’s the kind of course for general laymen such as ‘Fermentation technology for Dummies’ series?
Scaling up is a very difficult component in any fermentation technology course ! You could not cover it in just a few hours.
Honestly I cant help feeling the possibility of the participants being taken for a ride.
The only good thing I see in the brochure is that it is dirt cheap, where you only pay about RM 200 per day which includes course materials. Laboratory and refreshments such as breakfasts and lunch.
The added bonus is perhaps you will get a certificate of attendance and a good holiday!
My best wishes to the participants and enjoy the holidays!
