“Interactomes” for Cell Biologists—Building Your Professional Network
The word “networking” may have stuffy connotations, but it concisely describes building relationships with peers and colleagues. Having a network of friends and mentors to provide advice and support has been invaluable throughout my scientific training. Nevertheless, I have sometimes found networking difficult, particularly before I felt established in my chosen field. With Cell Bio…

In Memoriam: Donald D. Brown (Dec. 1931 – May 2023)
A trail-blazer in the study of genes Don Brown who served as the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) President in 1992 has passed away. Don purified the first eukaryotic gene before the era of DNA cloning, using ultracentrifugation to enrich the amplified ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes from oocytes of the frog Xenopus. This feat…
