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

Issue 31: February 14, 2024

DIRECTORS’ NOTE

EMBRIO held its second annual Winter Science Retreat last week in Indianapolis, with thrust and site leaders and key investigators of the Institute together in person. Marking the middle of year three of our Institute, thrust leaders presented recent research findings, along with updates to research goals, insights into challenges and existing gaps, with plans for remaining NSF period three activity. Open discussions and input took place on updating integration goals of our strategic plan<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fpresentation%2Fd%2F1iBDqZs_-90vt_3OOqzmJTvv-tZctDKjtTbh-5D2FN1o%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing&data=05%7C02%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Cb946040f4d7c44416b4a08dc2d82924e%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638435286020865319%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=KUyfUlHlaDxko%2FOd2UyByVgNM23K%2FvqHWaC1ayJM0FY%3D&reserved=0>, the use of generative AI in science writing, and authorship guidelines.

Calendar invites were emailed to all members. The theme for the Summer School will be:

Communicating your research with novice audiences through computational media

Participants will identify a topic of their research (or teaching) that they want to make accessible to novice audiences. Following best practices of learning design or mentoring, participants will create a product (e.g., a computational Colab notebook, a digital poster, a Prezi presentation, or similar) to teach or communicate their selected topic to broader audiences. The products will be broadly disseminated through the Institute.

Jeremy Zartman, Greg Reeves, and Linlin Li have organized an EMBRIO workshop during the The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC24), March 9th 2-4pm, in Washington D.C. (Genetics Society of America). https://genetics-gsa.org/tagc-2024/<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgenetics-gsa.org%2Ftagc-2024%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Cb946040f4d7c44416b4a08dc2d82924e%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638435286020865319%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=6fM3UgchcBIG4K6nwHEvAGgr%2BaCJeB0QpFPu2hu0GBo%3D&reserved=0> .

EMBRIO WORKSHOP AT TAGC24

Title: Advancing Computational Developmental Biology: Integrating Experimental and Computational Systems Approaches

Date/Time:   Saturday, March 9, 2:00-4:00 pm

Description  :This workshop delves into the integration of experimental and computational approaches in systems developmental biology, with talks covering the majority of model systems included in TAGC including Drosophila, zebrafish, mammalian cells, and plants. Participants will explore computational modeling approaches, including mechanistic models that are calibrated or tested through a combination of optogenetics, live tissue imaging, and genetics. The workshop aims to foster a synergy between modeling and experiments, providing attendees with transferable skills and knowledge to advance their research in developmental biology through the application of mechanistic and data-driven computational approaches. The focus on computational modeling, including ODE and PDE models differentiates this workshop from other platform sessions.

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.

Course – HONR 59901 Future Mentors Program Research Mentorship Training for Graduate Students (at Purdue, in person only). More info and to apply<https://honors.purdue.edu/current-students/Undergraduate-Research/mentorship.php>.

Purpose of the Program
Effective mentorship requires specific skillsets and approaches. Implementation of these strategies can lead to mutually beneficial experiences for both mentors and mentees. The Future Mentors program offers research mentorship training for graduate students who are or would like to begin mentoring undergraduates in STEM research. This program is ideal for doctoral students who plan to pursue a career in academia or leadership roles in industry.

The March Chicago Cytoskeleton meeting and poster contest is coming up soon, Friday March 15.

Contact Holly Goodson (hgoodson at nd.edu<mailto:hgoodson at nd.edu>) with questions or concerns!

At this meeting, we will have four regular (20 +10 minute) talks, plus the yearly CC poster session. And, as last year, we are holding an associated lightning talk contest to determine who are the four trainees who will speak April 19th alongside our plenary speaker Dan Fletcher (UC Berkeley). The winners of this contest will be announced at the March 15 meeting.

Speakers March 15 will be:

Noah Mitchell (KITP; incoming faculty member at University of Chicago)

Katie Drerup (University of Wisconsin - Madison)

Dileep Varma (Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine)

Greg Smith. (Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine)

Titles to come soon!

Key points about the lightning talk contest and poster session:

Did you or someone in your lab present a lightning talk or poster at ASCB, Biophysics, or another conference? Give that presentation a new life through Chicago Cytoskeleton!  Or perhaps you want to put together a new presentation? CC is a great place to try it out!

• If you want to compete for an April 19 speaker slot: please submit (details below) a pre-recorded 3-5 minute lightning talk that will be viewed and judged by the Steering Committee.

> The Deadline for submitting your recording is Wednesday March 6.

• If you just want to present a poster without competing: please simply submit an abstract by the same deadline (Wednesday March 6).

More information about the poster session and associated competition is provided below.

CC Meeting Place and time: Sessions are held in the Lurie Medical Research Center at the Feinberg School of Medicine.  For the March 15 meeting, talks will start at 3:00 and continue until ~5:00, followed by the poster session with refreshments. There is no registration fee - just join us!
