Announcements and reminders
by Ladd, Brent Thomas 25 Jan '24

25 Jan '24

Dear EMBRIOphytes, Thank you to everyone who tuned in to the NSF BII meeting that past two days, and to the team attending in person we had a strong presence especially Linlin Li, Weiwei Zhang, and David Gazzo for presenting posters and flash talks, and Director Umulis for presenting our Institute-wide progress to NSF and to the 13 other BIIs represented. Our next EMBRIO seminar this coming Monday the 29th will be an ABIDES training topic: "Results-Based Management/Mentorship in Science", presented by Javier Munoz Briones, Ph.D. Candidate at Purdue. This session welcomes all EMBRIO members to participate. The results-based mentorship approach dovetails nicely with some of the mentorship topics that we've touched on previously. For example, the idea that there is not a 'one size fits all' mentorship style and that mentors may need to change their styles for different mentees, and that mentees are in charge of their careers and should actively seek mentors and manage their mentorship. The results-based mentorship then leads into results-based management which has useful points for all of EMBRIO (planning specific activities for desired outcomes). Please Note: The Leadership team has asked that the All-hands twice monthly seminars be held in-person starting this coming Monday, January 29th (the regular zoom link will continue to be available live, especially for the members at our partner institutions). The Face-2-Face seminars will take place in DLR 221 conference room starting at 3pm (Hall for Discovery Learning & Research). If we run out of seats, we'll look for a larger venue. A reminder that for anyone involved in EMBRIO research generating data it is mandatory to read<https://www.purdue.edu/research/embrio/research/DSP.php> and sign the Data Sharing Policy agreement<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue.ca…> (all current members: due by end of the month: 1/31/24). Faculty PIs, please ensure that those working in your lab are aware of the policy and the deadline. Original email with details attached. Tomorrow, Thurs., Jan. 25: BME Special Seminar, 3:00 p.m., Purdue, MJIS 2001. Hyeon Jeong Lee, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Instrument Science at Zhejiang University will present “Label-free imaging pinpoints molecular markers for disease diagnosis and mechanism investigation.” Flyer attached (this seminar is in person only). Thanks, Brent Brent T.

Emergence Newsletter Issue 29: January 17, 2024
by Ladd, Brent Thomas 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

[cid:e7e717f3-c212-4fff-84b7-9e782fff9813] Emergence: A biweekly newsletter of discovery, education, and outreach from the EMBRIO Institute Issue 29: January 17, 2024 DIRECTORS’ NOTE We hope everyone enjoyed a restful holiday season. Except for our partners at U. of Puerto Rico Mayagüez (where it remains enviously tropical), probably most everyone else is enduring the deep freeze this week. Despite the cold weather, we kicked of the semester with a Thrust update on Jan. 8th highlighting the many Thrust 4 projects focused on pedagogical research, curriculum development, training, diversity, evaluation, and outreach efforts. If you missed it, you may access the recording in the All-Hands Weekly Meeting folder<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.c…> on Box. Our next All-hands meeting will be Jan. 29th with an ABIDES session featuring effective project management for researchers (details forthcoming). Check out the agenda<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.c…> for the NSF Biology Integration Institutes conference happening January 22-23. This year’s conference will be a hybrid, with most attending via Zoom, and a smaller team from EMBRIO in person at NSF headquarters. All sessions will be available via Zoom, with exception of the poster sessions and the breakout sessions. Especially, we want as many EMBRIO members as possible to join for Director Umulis’s talk at 11:15 ET on the 22nd. Thrust and site leaders and key investigators are planning to be in-person for a two-day collaborative science retreat taking place on Feb. 6-7th. Outcomes of the retreat will be shared institute wide. This retreat is focused on in-depth exchanges to foster what is working well, address what isn’t working, share key results and outcomes to date, and plan for higher levels of integration as we enter the second half of year 3 of our NSF funding and begin strategizing for funding renewal. A reminder that if you are new to EMBRIO or you have someone in your lab that is new or desires an introduction or refresher on EMBRIO, we recommend that you take a look at the resources on the shared Box account in the Orientation to EMBRIO<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.c…> sub-folder. We will dedicate part of the All-Hands session to this topic on Feb. 12th. David, Chris, Stephanie, Anjali, Janice, Jeremy, and Brent Notable Quote "In winter we must protect ourselves. Look after one another," says Arya. "When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives," the elder, Sansa, chimes in.

End of Week Announcements: See draft data sharing policy for comments
by Ladd, Brent Thomas 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Dear EMBRIOphytes, Data Sharing Policy for EMBRIO The Leadership team has been working on a data sharing policy for the Institute, drawing on the expertise of seasoned data managers and with other Institutes that have implemented such policies. A draft Data Sharing Policy<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.c…> for EMBRIO has been designed to promote transparency, collaboration, and responsible data management within our research community. Please review the draft policy and provide comments by end of the year, either publicly associated with the online draft or your comments can be sent to me via email (laddb(a)purdue.edu) Ratifying a data sharing policy is a critical first step in an overall data management plan. Thanks in advance for everyone reading and commenting on this draft policy. Our next Institute seminar will take place January 8th, 3pm ET with an update from Thrust 4 leads and collaborators. The scheduling poll revealed no one requesting a different day or time, so we will march forward with Mondays at 3-4pm. We will stick with a "biweekly" schedule to the extent possible, with each month featuring an update from one of the research thrusts, along with guest speakers, ABIDES topic, and possible trainee topic sessions. Look for a calendar invite from me today with the series and zoom link. Note that due to university holidays, institute events, and speaker availability, it won't be a consistent biweekly schedule. with constraints of Outlook, the series invitation will initially include all weeks next semester, then I will "delete" the non-meeting occurrences from the calendar series. Mark your calendar for the NSF BII conference January 22-23. Calendar invite forthcoming from NSF with Zoom link. This year’s conference will be in a hybrid format, with most attending via zoom, and a smaller team in person at NSF headquarters. View the draft agenda<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.c…>. Final newsletter of the year will go out next Wednesday, December 13th. If you have any news or announcements you would like included please get those to me by next Tuesday. Wishing you all a good weekend, and smooth sailing with end of the semester, and if I don't see you again until January enjoy the holidays!!! Brent Brent T.
