Drawing Students into Scientific Careers through Research Role Modeling
Speaker: Paul Hernandez, facilitated by Sarah Eddy Online with LSE hosts hosts Paul Hernandez, Assistant Professor of Educational Psychology at West Virginia University, for a discussion of his study examining the ways in which faculty draw students into scientific careers through research mentoring support (i.e., career support, emotional support, role modeling, and relationship satisfaction). Recent study

On the heels of Rare Disease Month, BioBuzz is organizing a Rare Disease Panel discussion with experts from local companies who are developing drugs and therapeutics for rare diseases. The goal of this event is to explore how the advancements in medical technologies, regulations, funding and business strategy have created more opportunity than ever to develop and commercialize new medicines for unmet rare diseases. This panel will host several local companies who are at various stages of research and drug…

The cellular protein quality control machinery with its central constituents of chaperones and proteases is vital for maintaining protein homeostasis (proteostasis) under physiological and stress conditions. It is increasingly recognized that an imbalance of cellular proteostasis, and hence a failure of the quality control machinery, is centrally implicated in aging and a plethora of genetic and acquired diseases such as neurodegeneration, cystic fibrosis, diabetes and cancer. This provides high medical relevance and momentum to this ever-growing field. This conference covers…

Find out more »EMBO|EMBL Symposium: The Identity and Evolution of Cell Types
Cell types are the fundamental units of multicellular life, which have diversified during animal evolution. The ongoing revolution in single-cell genomics/transcriptomics technologies and new insights into the molecular mechanisms specifying cell type identity now allow us to explore this process in unprecedented detail. Our new EMBO | EMBL Symposium will bring together scientists in this emerging field. We will jointly discuss fundamental questions such as the origins of cell types in the evolution of multicellularity, their diversification in divergent animal…

This session of Online with LSE, hosts Julia Gouvea, Assistant Professor of Education at Tufts University, for a discussion of her study examining the extent to which students' "wrong" biological ideas stem from deeply held misconceptions. This work challenges the theoretical, methodological and empirical basis for claims of cognitive stability and explores the implications of understanding student thinking as more fluid and context-dependent.
