Leading edge is a phenomenal program-apply!

Get all the highlights from the Basic Sciences Division in our 2024 annual report! Hear from division director @SueBiggins.bsky.social, see event highlights, get updates from each of our labs, and so much more: https://buff.ly/4foiYKq

Check out the impact of the JCC postdoctoral fellowships! Applications open for the next deadline-Jan 31, 2025

some starter ideas and agree we need more ideas how to communicate to public

Agree 100% We need to highlight advances such as HPV vaccine that has had incredible success reducing cervical cancer in a few years...so many examples...the public needs to better understand that science is truly helping them

The best part of the week kicks off soon: Friday Afternoon Seminars! Can’t wait to learn about the latest research from Elyse Christensen in the @nlehrbach.bsky.social Lab and Liberalis Boila in Human Biology’s Kugel Lab. For all our @FredHutch.bsky.social colleagues, join us for two great talks!

power out since tuesday's bomb cyclone....time to join bluesky!

Yes you do @harmitmalik.bsky.social!
