Emergence: A biweekly newsletter of discovery, education, and outreach from the EMBRIO Institute

Issue 28: December 18, 2023

DIRECTORS’ NOTE

Winter (break) is here. With the Fall semester at an end, congrats to everyone on your collective and individual accomplishments, and thank you for your hard work and innovative research in the Institute! Check out a photo slide show of in-person highlights<https://www.purdue.edu/research/embrio/files/photo%20highlights%20movie%20web%202023.m4v> from 2023. We wish everyone a safe, enjoyable, and restful holiday season.

Looking ahead to next year, we’ll be kicking off our first thrust update January 8th focused on pedagogical research, curriculum development, training, diversity, and outreach efforts from Thrust 4 leaders and collaborators. View the all-hands seminar dates and plans for Spring semester in this issue. The other all-hands date in January will be January 29th with an ABIDES training session on developing your project management skills (Jan. 15 holiday celebrates MLK, Jr., and Jan 22nd is reserved for the BII conference).

Please remember to check out the draft agenda<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.com%2Fs%2Flrip7a41s5ijnfk9my055m36ka808au5&data=05%7C02%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C305325768e1b447b96a008dbffe4bae9%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638385130081237981%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=nhoOilojSitIJfgA6sycL3QvjNCk80iV3BmAiLniVxo%3D&reserved=0> and hold time on your calendars for the NSF Biology Integration Institutes conference happening January 22-23 (zoom link from NSF forthcoming). This year’s conference will be a hybrid, with most attending via zoom, and a smaller team from EMBRIO in person at NSF headquarters.

A reminder that if you are new to EMBRIO or you have someone in your lab that is new or desires an introduction or refresher on EMBRIO, we recommend that you take a look at the resources on the shared Box account in the Orientation to EMBRIO<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.com%2Fs%2Fom3brzae0z3o9s3c7x2fhxw6n2h1ipjt&data=05%7C02%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C305325768e1b447b96a008dbffe4bae9%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638385130081237981%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sgRnp4udEfJI7W640JIBrG0fNilCWzRwu2mjHd9DQWw%3D&reserved=0> sub-folder.

JOURNAL CLUBS

Journal Club on Calcium Imaging Techniques meets Monday’s 11am ET

Due to the need within our EMBRIO community to process and analyze Ca2+ Images, Dr. Norma Perez Rosas (nperezro at purdue.edu<mailto:nperezro at purdue.edu> ) is helping lead this club in discussing papers regarding methods and tools for analyzing calcium imaging. The goal, beyond integrating these techniques, is to write a review paper. The Club is meeting weekly on Mondays at 11am. Please contact Norma about participating.

Journal Club on Multimodal Functions of Calcium in Tuning and Regulating Cytoskeleton Networks

Please contact Dr. Linlin Li (li2212 at purdue.edu<mailto:li2212 at purdue.edu> ) for information. The club is in the writing stage for organizing and publishing a review paper on the topic.
