Pup and I are getting ready for my last meeting as a regular member of NIH’s MSFB study section.

Here's the direct link with all the details: jobs.nd.edu/postings/37844

Excited to have @holdenthorp.bsky.social visit Virginia Tech for a talk on Maintaining & Communicating a Robust Scientific Record in an Age of AI & Social Media. He's also having coffee w/ our Presidential Postdocs & Research & Innovation Postdoc Scholars prior. www.research.vt.edu/events/2025/...

ATTENTION: If you have received a NoA from NIH within the last 10 days, please let me know the grant number and award date. I am trying to characterize the time lag between awards and NIH Reporter. DM me if you wish or just reply

Stand Up for Science rallies will be held in DC and state capitals on March 7th. Share with friends. Sign-up here to get email updates with details: www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f...

Although I’m not a fan of NIH study sections on zoom, hanging out all day in comfy clothes with my dog is definitely a consolation prize. 🖤

Super happy for this help from NIH Director Monica Bertagnolli, getting the word out about our new study in PNAS, showing surprising new effects of synonymous codon substitutions on the expression of the gene "next door"! directorsblog.nih.gov/2024/09/26/s...

I wish there was more credit to people who were the thin end of the wedge. The “First Black faculty in the University,” “First woman in the department,” “First blind person to get a doctorate in the institution,” and on and on. They made it easier for everyone to follow.

Applications are open for Max Planck Research Group Leaders! An amazing opportunity to build an independent research group with ~3M€ guaranteed support over 6 years. Bonus: You can choose your favorite Max Planck Institute, including ours www.bio.mpg.de/50783/about-us www.mpg.de/career/max-p...

My department seeks to hire a new tenure-track assistant professor in computational biophysics, broadly defined, to complement and grow Notre Dame's existing biophysics community. Please share -- and consider applying! apply.interfolio.com/152715

Jane Richardson's impact on protein science is amazing. Her development of ribbon diagrams, discussed here, is only ONE of her seminal contributions. ❤️ www.quantamagazine.org/how-colorful...

Required reading as faculty committee work starts to spin back up...

Clean laundry cat.

Do you know outstanding undergraduate researchers who could use up to $750 in travel funding to present research at the Spring ACS National Meeting or PITTCON? Please encourage them to apply for the Kolthoff awards! Deadline is Jan. 8, 2024. acsanalytical.org/kolthoff-tra...

Super proud of my @NotreDame colleague @CaraOcobock — knocking it out of the park on challenging long-held assumptions regarding gender roles. Go, Cara!!

Interested in #fluorescent markers? We organize a Les Houches Winter School! March 17-22, 2024 in the beautiful French Alps! Last days to apply (until Oct 15th)! Join us and please spread the word! It's great science, great scene, great people! fluorescenceleshouches.wordpress.com

Good grief.

This!

I'm Tina Tootle. I am a Professor and the Chair of the Department of Biology at the University of Iowa. My research lab uses Drosophila oogenesis to study how lipid signals called prostaglandins regulate actin both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus.

Feel free to share with first-year and prospective grad students. Things I wish I had known…
