ABRF - Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) started the pilot project of authenticating membership and service to our organization and writing them to your ORCID profile. That pilot is proceeding well. Stay tuned for the next steps to incorporating more members!

We met last week to start working on the PID recommendations for users, providers, and supporters.

Given the astonishing environmental benefits of putting solar panels on agricultural land, this is a very strange thing for an environmental activist to be posting

Why one might feel younger than their age? 1) Your genes 2) Mentor's help on what to cherish and what to chuck & a way to tell them apart 3) Have a small circle of individual you care about and their reciprocal interest in you 4) Believe things will turn out ok and not to worry about your mistakes

أخيراً، بعد سِت سنوات من القراء، الكاتبة، الاكلام والاستماع على اللغة العربية, أنا حصلتُ على دراجة بكالوريوس في دراسات الشرقة الأوسط من جامعة ولاية فلوريدا. أرغب في الاستمرار في تعلّم اللغة العربية. إستطاعتُ أفعل الرحلة لانني أسرتي، أساتذتي وأصدقاءي. كان الأمر سهلاً لأنني أردتُ تعلُّمها.

Our session at the ABRF Annual Meeting (@abrf.bsky.social) is about Non-Bio Core Facilities. "Out of the Silo and Into the Future: Core Facilities Engaging Across Disciplines" Monday, Mar 30, 2026, 9:00-10:30 AM David L. Lawrence Convention Center 1000 Fort Duquesne Blvd Pittsburgh, PA 15222

I am attending the 2026 Annual Meeting of Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (@abrf.bsky.social). web.cvent.com/event/6aeb39... Are you planning to attend the meeting?

New day, new semester! Today was the first day of FSU's Fall 2025 semester. I hope to learn something new from the class of 20 in Elementary Japanese, if I keep up with it!

The Molecular Biophysics Program (biophysics.fsu.edu/mob-program) @ FSU runs XRF IMB Bootcamp for the incoming graduate students (fla.st/W2APS9QW). In the first session, we covered solution preparations for hanging drop and sitting drop crystallization of a biological macromolecule.

Two undergraduate students wanted to learn about careers in the Shared Research Resources (aka Core Facilities). I hosted them at my Crystallography Core Facility (fla.st/KSHU8LQZ). RRID_017922. This was made possible by FSU Career Center (career.fsu.edu) a program called FSUShadow.

At the 12th Annual Meeting of SEASR (a Chapter of ABRF), I spoke about how ABRF is Catalyzing Excellence for Shared Research Resources Worldwide. I enjoyed interacting with my peers, speakers, sponsors, and new contacts at the 2025 SEASR Meeting at Tampa, FL (Jun 18-20, 2025) seasr.abrf.org
