Link up at Cell Bio 2022 with Cell Bio Connect
ASCB is piloting Cell Bio Connect to offer intellectual, professional, and social support to first-time attendees, students, and those traveling alone. Participants will be matched with experienced attendees to help navigate and get the most out of the meeting. This initiative aims to help the ASCB community reconnect in person after a couple of years…
A CURE for the challenge of inclusive learning
Why Do We Need a CURE? To increase equity and inclusion in STEM education, Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) are among our most promising tools. Research courses improve learning outcomes especially for students in underrepresented groups (Hurtado et al., 2009; Rodenbusch et al., 2016). How does this work? Relevance, original thinking, and working in a…
OpenCell reveals the intracellular life of proteins
After proteins are synthesized in a cell, they don’t just sit there. They get straight to work—alone or in combination—performing nearly every task in a cell’s life, moving from nucleus to cytoplasm to membrane. Cell biologists know this happens, and they’ve done a decent job of describing a multitude of these activities and interactions. But…

I’m Just in Conference
Devotees of Saturday morning cartoons in the 1970s and 1980s may recall Schoolhouse Rock, a series of short cartoons covering math, grammar, American history, and science. Included in the series was one called, I’m Just a Bill, which describes how a local concern becomes a bill in Congress and later, a law. For a 3-minute…

Member profile: Alissa Armstrong
Developmental biologist Alissa Armstrong says we can learn a lot from fat fruit flies. Armstrong, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of South Carolina, uses obese Drosophila melanogaster to investigate the signaling pathways between their fat tissue and their ovaries. She…
