Issue 14: March 1, 2023



DIRECTORS’ NOTE

The month of March is Women’s History Month<https://womenshistorymonth.gov/>. See the quote below for a fascinating story of Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Barbara McClintock. Our BII NSF Site Visit is taking place virtually this Friday, March 3, 10 am – 1pm. We need especially EMBRIO investigators to attend. The site visit participation link is in the upcoming events section of this issue.



The spotlight this issue highlights Bakary Samasa, Ph.D. student in the Mullins Lab at Penn. Bakary presented his research project “Investigating the Molecular Mechanisms of Epiboly Morphogenesis in the Zebrafish Embryo” this past Monday. The recording is available on the EMBRIO Box account > Weekly Update Meeting. Please welcome Bakary as he continues his doctoral research with the Institute.



In addition to the established journal clubs a new journal club diving into Calcium Imaging Techniques has launched and will be meeting each Monday, 11am. The culminating goal is to co-write a review paper about these techniques and methods. Links and instructions for participating are found in this issue.



In following up on the Individual Development Plans for each trainee as part of the Institute’s ABIDES (Access, Belonging, Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Support) program, Dr. Anjali Iyer-Pascuzzi, EMBRIO ABIDES sent an email with a survey link to each member asking you to complete this very brief update on your IDP. Please complete this by March 5.



An ongoing reminder for any who have not yet participated in the Institute evaluation interview with Soumi Mukherjee, please schedule this via the new When to Meet Poll https://www.when2meet.com/?18327719-shNWM

We want to hear about your news and announcements. Send them to Brent (laddb at purdue.edu) by March 10th  for inclusion in the next issue of Emergence.

MEMBERSHIP SPOTLIGHT: Bakary Samasa
 [cid:755deada-2a25-4c79-b4c4-85ee32dabe73]

Bakary Samasa

Bakary Samasa, 2nd Year Graduate Student, Cell and Developmental Biology, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Mary Mullins Laboratory. Project: “Investigating the Molecular Mechanisms of Epiboly Morphogenesis in the Zebrafish Embryo”

What's your hometown, State, Country (and one thing you love, miss, remember, or want to tell others about it)?
I am from Philadelphia, PA and the one thing I love about this city is that my friends and family are here so I always feel supported.

What are your hobbies?
I enjoy spending time with loved ones. As well as playing basketball or having philosophical debates on existence.

What drew you into becoming a scientist or engineer (or both)?
The ability to ask questions that interest me as well as the freedom to answer them how I see fit. I was also inspired by my mentors, Mary Mullins, Brant Weinstein, Marina Venero Galanternik, Dan Castranova, and John Henson who nurtured my love of science as well as encouraging me to grow both personally and scientifically.

Tell us the main point of your research as it relates to EMBRIO:
I am interested in elucidating the mechanisms of epiboly specifically relating to how the cytoskeleton and calcium interplay to drive this process. I will be using various imaging modalities as well as mutants to determine the mechanisms of the morphogenetic process.

You find yourself alone on an elevator with the president of your university – who knows very little about your field: They ask you to tell them about your research (15 seconds - go!):
I am interested in how the body is formed. Especially relating to the mechanical and chemical signals that tell the cells where to go and where to end up using microscopy and zebrafish as a model organism. With this knowledge we can understand the basic mechanisms in developmental contexts but also in injury.

What's on the horizon for you (research, career, personal, whatever you want to share)?
I am excited to complete my preliminary examination this spring and getting to spend more time in lab.

What’s your various URL/social media handles that others can follow (prof. website, twitter, LinkedIn, blog, etc)?

JOURNAL CLUBS



NEW CLUB: CALCIUM IMAGING TECHNIQUES

Due to the need within our EMBRIO community to process and analyze Ca2+ Images, Director Umulis has proposed to discuss papers regarding methods and tools for analyzing calcium imaging as part of a new journal club. The goal, beyond integrating these techniques, is to write a review paper.


Norma Perez (nperezro at purdue.edu ), EMBRIO Postdoc with the Buganza-Tepole and Umulis Labs, is leading the effort to organize this journal club, please contact her about joining the club. Online participation link TBD.


The club is currently discussing the following papers:


https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uESi45Zv_kGL369NW8sPW60GByOAXme7-vr1XKBM18U/edit?usp=sharing


Students and postdocs, please select a paper you want to discuss and let Norma know your selection. She will add your name to this Google Sheet in order that the community knows the rotation.


https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RQOTEIncii3HlRaUK38sP8EpOmAeuAc5jP6wR4X7F98/edit?usp=sharing


The presenter will prepare a presentation of the paper and lead the discussion during the meeting for about 1 hour.


Since the goal is to write a review paper, Norma is asking for each presenter to write a short 2-3 sentence summary, and I will add your text in the summary column of the spreadsheet.


On Google Sheets, you will also find a worksheet tab called “Tool Attribute Table”, the aim is to fill out that table through the discussion as a basis for the writing process. We can discuss the structure and the content of the Table in our meetings.


If you want to add an additional paper to the list, please let Norma know.





ONGOING CLUB: Multimodal Functions of Calcium in Tuning and Regulating Cytoskeleton Networks

Please contact Dr. Linlin Li (li2212 at purdue.edu ) for information. The club is currently entering the writing stage for organizing and publishing a review paper on the topic. It isn’t too late to join.

Here is the link to the current working documents:

EMBRIO ABIDES (Access, Belonging, Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Support)

DEI in EMBRIO has transitioned to ABIDES (Access, Belonging, Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Support). Dr. Anjali Iyer-Pascuzzi, EMBRIO ABIDES Director and Associate Professor at Purdue, is leading activities for Institute members. Planned ABIDES activities for this semester (Zoom links are also shared in the ABIDES folder in the EMBRIO BOX<https://app.box.com/s/bx35o3h5pahgviidcpnmbnigk75k6bql> account):



  *   Individual Development Plans (IDPs) completed by Feb. 24. You can use one of your own or one of the templates in the ABIDES folder in BOX Students: If you already filled out an IDP for your department you can use that one and do not need to do another.  Please upload only the ‘blank’ template you chose to develop or use to the ABIDES folder, NOT your actual IDP! This is because these are private between you and your mentor, and not everyone may feel comfortable sharing the completed IDP with additional people. This way I have an idea of what types of IDPs people in the Institute are using.

  *   IDP survey. Look for a Qualtrics email from Anjali. Reminders will be sent. Please complete by March 5.

  *   Weekly open office ‘hour’ 2:30 – 3 pm (Eastern) each Monday before research update, Zoom link here: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/91942543564


  *   Trainee lunch hour meeting March 9, 12 – 1 pm  (Eastern) in DLR 228c and by Zoom:
