[Ladd, Brent Thomas]

Dear EMBRIO Members,

Our seminar this afternoon from 3-4pm ET will feature Dr. Janice Evans presenting Thrust 1 research insights with a look at mammalian egg fertilization in the context of calcium mediated actin cytoskeleton rearrangement.
Upcoming research seminars will feature Thrust 3 research at the multicellular to organism-wide scale with Dr. Mary Mullins (May 6th) and Dr. Qing Deng (May 20th), and a session organized by the Student Leadership Council on the CalciumInsights tool by Dr. Deiver Suarez Gomez (June 10th).

EMBRIO SUMMER SCHOOL
The organizing committee for the 2024 EMBRIO Summer School (July 8-10th), led by Drs. Gardner and Magana presented a preview of the school during our last all-hands seminar. The overarching theme is “Communicating your research with novice audiences through web-based digital media.” If you missed the introduction to this year’s school, view the 10 min video and slide set<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.com%2Fs%2F898agq8hc3yrev2fhd9c0sk5g4rxzmle&data=05%7C02%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Ca34194c33f15448ed3d208dc685659a0%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638499967277828098%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=h77xFDDuO70P3YFmcgjPRl7CmGL0F3N5iUkxO7thzvk%3D&reserved=0> <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.com%2Fs%2F898agq8hc3yrev2fhd9c0sk5g4rxzmle&data=05%7C02%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Ca34194c33f15448ed3d208dc685659a0%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638499967277828098%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=h77xFDDuO70P3YFmcgjPRl7CmGL0F3N5iUkxO7thzvk%3D&reserved=0> on our Box account.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP COUNCIL ACTIVITIES

Calling everyone’s attention to a Skills and Strengths Sharing platform for the Institute launched by the Student Leadership Council to boost collaboration since collaboration is at the heart of EMBRIO. We have created a platform (google slide deck<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fpresentation%2Fd%2F1ISHO5p5QXI67UlXJyulCzOtxPeZOiPAUYvpGJqJz4YE%2Fedit%23slide%3Did.p&data=05%7C02%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Ca34194c33f15448ed3d208dc685659a0%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638499967277984253%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=RlwyLtyTdj%2F%2BYk6tqhBNIlzPDFNcaQv7thmlNz%2BR7%2Fg%3D&reserved=0>) where we can all share a little about who we are and what kinds of strengths we can and are willing to share with others. We kindly request that all members (student, faculty, and staff) take a few minutes to fill out a slide for themselves by April 29th. This way, we can also use this to gauge what topics would be of most value to EMBRIO for hosting workshops.
