GSA Seminar Series on Gene Function Across Organisms
The Genetics Society of America is holding a series of free seminars until November exploring the function of genes in humans and model organisms. GSA President Hugo Bellen explained the impetus for this series in an editorial in May. He wrote, in part, “We believe that these seminars will be useful to researchers at all stages of their careers and across different model organisms, as well as to human biologists. We hope this will add a new dimension to the research, will reveal unforeseen phenotypes, accelerate to discovery, allow new funding opportunities and lead to the discovery of new fundamental aspects of biology. “Below is the seminar program. See the speakers and register here.
August 23 – MARRVEL: Exploitation of genetic and genomic data through model organisms and humans
September 20 – Data from mining model organizations in the Alliance of Genome Resources portal
October 4 – Monarch Initiative: Comparison of phenotypes between species for diagnosis and discovery of diseases
November 1 – Unraveling the links between hereditary and viral microcephaly

September 17: Free Symposium on Immunotherapy by MIT
The Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is hosting a virtual cancer immunotherapy symposium on September 17. Here’s an excerpt from the event website: The next generation of treatments will require us to understand what causes resistance in non-responders, how it can be overcome, and how these issues are best treated clinically. Discussion of these questions will be at the heart of this symposium as we move towards our ultimate goal of increasing the number of patients receiving immunotherapy. Register.
September 24: Full survey of mouse feeding
The American Society for Nutrition is offering an eight-question survey that may be of interest to some of our members. This is how ASN described the effort: “Updates to the AIN-93 reference diets for rodents must be supported by solid scientific evidence. the composition of diets. Please participate by answering the survey questions and also submitting your summaries, list of references and / or other considerations in the space provided at the end of the survey. »Take part in the survey.
September 30: Take 15 Minutes to Transform STEM Learning
100Kin10 is looking for young people, ages 13-29, to share their experiences on pre-K-12 STEM learning for a new national effort called the unCommission. This work will enhance STEM learning stories – both joyful times and challenges – to help policymakers across our country better understand how the pre-K-12 STEM experience needs to change to better serve all students. 100Kin10 is particularly interested in black, Latin, Native American and other communities often excluded from STEM, including white and Asian youth living in rural and very poor schools, students with disabilities, those who identify as LGBTQ +, and girls. Share your story here by submitting a quick video, audio recording, or written reflection. Sharing your experience won’t take more than 15 minutes and doesn’t require any preparation, but it will have the potential to transform STEM learning. In addition, the storytellers will participate in a raffle to win a prize. Learn more.
September 30: NIH Stadtman applications expected
Stadtman investigators from the National Institutes of Health hold tenure-track positions in the agency’s intramural research program. The program’s website states that it encourages applications from doctoral-level researchers in any field relevant to the NIH’s mission. See how to apply.
Save the date: ASBMB Deuel Lipid Conference
The ASBMB Deuel conference is a must-attend event for leading lipid researchers – and for scientists who have just started to explore the role of lipids in their research agendas. This event will bring together a wide range of people, including those who have never attended Deuel or maybe a lipid meeting before.
The meeting will be held March 1-4 in Monterey, California.
“We would like to bring in people who may not have had their teeth in lipid metabolism, but who have found a way to study lipids. In many cases, this is where you get the most exciting, unusual and quirky presentations, and it can spark collaborations that might not have happened otherwise, â€says co-organizer Russell DeBose-Boyd. .
This year’s theme is “Place, Location, Location: How Lipid Trafficking Affects Cell Signaling and Metabolismâ€.
Co-organizer Arun Radhakrishnan explains it this way: “In recent years, we have started to better understand the mechanisms of lipid trafficking. We thought it would be great to have a meeting focused on this aspect and what this new knowledge is telling us about cell signaling and metabolism.
Abstracts will be accepted from September 1st. Check out the program and learn more.
October 1: Deadline for the Immunology Essay Competition
Michelson Philanthropies and Science / AAAS have a new award for researchers (35 and under) performing “transformative research in human immunology, with cross-disease applications to accelerate the discovery of vaccines and immunotherapies.” To apply, write a 1,000 word essay on your work. The winning essay will be published in Science and the writer will receive $ 30,000. Learn more.
