42. Testimonials « I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot. I think it had a nice mix of science and hands on. » Trainee, Slicer Workshop at Darmouth « The course is a great one, well prepared and very informative. It was a bit surprising that people learnt Slicer so quickly » Xiaodong, Slicer Workshop MGH « Because the Slicer tutorials are all online, the need for note-taking or handouts was minimized and the workshop remained truly hands-on. » Marisa, Slicer Workshop SPL « I am incredibly impressed with the 3D Slicer program and the training workshop. I very much appreciate that this preeminent program is available and maintained for the MacIntosh. Further the 3D Slicer workshop was a delight well organized and well taught, with a knowledgeable and helpful staff. » Monica, Slicer Workshop SPL « As someone who had neither worked with freesurfer or 3D slicer before I found the workshop a clear, informative introduction to the capabilities and use of both packages. With the help of the online tutorials, I look forward to using the software in the near future.  David, Slicer Workshop in San Diego
