[Embrio-list] EMBRIO Announcements

[Ladd, Brent Thomas]

Dear EMBRIOnic People,
We’ll be kicking off our bi-weekly all-hands meeting and seminar series (Monday’s 3-4PM ET) the week after Labor Day, on September 9th. (Calendar invites with zoom link were emailed last week). This first-in-the-semester meeting is slated for a ‘State of the Institute’ presentation by Institute leadership with open discussion.
If you have new EMBRIO members joining your lab, please alert me with their names, emails, information, so that I can subscribe them to the listserv and Box account, and point them to our 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%7Ca25eba4341894ab65fe108dcc0868cc6%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638596931985517119%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=4rr9bA0X4JDbPR9Wjvf8hRotYepAwLU5KMhyWvZbjV4%3D&reserved=0> folder.
Check out below the new and recent peer-reviewed journal papers from this summer communicating EMBRIO research! Congrats to all authors, and the graduate students, postdocs, and research scientists that are lead or co-lead authors on these new publications! If I missed yours, let me know.
There are several opportunities at the end of this email, including a course offered by Anjali Iyer-Pascuzzi BTNY 590 Preparing for Post-PhD Careers – see the attached PDF for course syllabus (available to attend as 1 credit course, by audit, or by class topic all over Zoom). Students/Postdocs are welcome to contact Anjali if you cannot attend all the lectures and just want to 'drop in', and non-Purdue students are welcome.
For anyone that missed getting a 2024 EMBRIO T-shirt, please contact me with your size (laddb at purdue.edu<mailto:laddb at purdue.edu> ).
Cheers,
Brent

Opportunities:
Preparing for Post-PhD Careers Course (see attached syllabus with zoom link)
Dr. Iyer-Pascuzzi is leading a 1 credit weekly seminar designed to introduce students to a variety of career paths available to researchers with a bio or bio-related PhD. Each week will feature a speaker from a different sector of basic and translational biology, including academia, industry, biotechnology law, scientific policy and science communication. Most speakers have a PhD in plant biology or pathology, but the information is relevant across fields.  As part of their talk, speakers will discuss their day-to-day activities, the best and worst aspects of their jobs, work-life balance, and their career paths. Students have the opportunity to ask speakers questions during class. Students/Postdocs are welcome to contact Anjali if you cannot attend all the lectures and just want to 'drop in', and non-Purdue students are welcome.
