As our mentees finalize their #RKirschstein (F30) predoctoral submissions for this December deadline, in these times, more than ever, let’s remember/learn/teach that this program is named Ruth L. Kirschstein Individual Predoctoral NRSA for MD/PhD and other Dual Degree Fellowship. #NotAGrantCode
Last week I had the pleasure of hosting Dr Marianne Bronner for our CReM seminar series. Through this series, we’re committed to giving our mentees and trainees exposure to 🤯 science from those pushing the boundaries in their field, and extraordinary mentors , and Marianne checks every single box.

Yesterday, October 7, Sir John Gurdon passed away.
Dr. Gurdon was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012, together with Shinya Yamanaka.
Through a series of experiments using Xenopus eggs, Gurdon showed that the nucleus of a mature cell can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state.

Despite their high rigidity, microtubules (MTs) dynamically bend and buckle in cells. MT-self repair is inherent to their metastable nature, but it remains unclear whether just inherent repair mechanisms are sufficient to maintain MT integrity🧵 (1/9)

Key advice for scientists writing grants…
When asked for advice she said, “Don’t be discouraged by rejection. You can come back.”
The key, she added, was a killer second draft: “If you can write the best second draft that can be written, that’s more impressive than anything you can write the first time.”
