Next Monday the 6th our All-Hands session (formerly titled Weekly Update) will feature a tutorial on VCell by Dr. Michael Blinov with the Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling at UConn Health. To those of you interested in learning more about computational modeling - this November 6th seminar is for you!  There are many different platforms for modeling cell biological events, and LinLin Li covered using Python and MatLab earlier this semester.  This Monday's seminar will be about the platform called VCell (short for "Virtual Cell") is a comprehensive platform for modeling cell biological systems. The seminar by Dr. Michael Blinov, one of the faculty associates of VCell, will cover what VCell can do for you -- with the added bonus that VCell can write and solve differential equations for you!

Please note the changes in the format and frequency of our regular Weekly update. As the Institute has evolved, we aim to best organize a regular all-hands meeting that reflects the diverse needs of our community. Taking into consideration all the input we’ve gathered, and to best accommodate the need for thrust level meetings that are not already taking place, a regular All-Hands meetup will move to a biweekly schedule (see the remaining schedule in this issue). The two weeks per month that we don’t meet will allow thrust leaders to organize their own meetings for the blocked 3-4pm Monday times. Starting now, we will hold an all-hands online meeting bi-weekly rotating with either a research seminar or professional development offering. Starting Spring semester, we will feature a thrust level progress/collab report-out once a month. This will allow everyone to hear each of the four research thrusts on progress, challenges, upcoming activities once per semester and encourage more cross-thrust discussions.

Purdue labs looking/planning for undergraduate researchers now or next summer (and our partner institutions who have students who want to come to Purdue), Brent has been in touch with the Engineering Undergraduate Research Office. See the info from Kay Kobak, their new Assoc. Director in this issue.

The graduate students in biology education research at Purdue have organized a seminar series with the next seminar this Friday, November 3rd at 11:30 am ET in Zoom<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-edu.zoom.us%2Fj%2F91764754503&data=05%7C01%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C389d7a5e40554df91e4c08dbdb15c72f%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638344658805361617%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=StFjo8BDaEtIqqPbA7gig98CM8l2t0MPvV3Xb6BnAWk%3D&reserved=0>.
