The website curates historical contributions of women across many fields and diverse aspects of society through story, video, and other media. Remember that our next all-hands seminar will be next Monday, April 1st featuring Dr. Chao Cai, Assistant Professor and Plant Sciences Information Specialist at Purdue. He will walk us through “Promoting Reproducible Science: How to manage and share your research data”. This will be a helpful session for all involved in collecting and collaborating on EMBRIO research data. Looking ahead, our April seminars will feature Thrust 1 research with Dr. Tami Kinzer-Ursem and Dr. Janice Evans, with May seminars featuring Thrust 3 research with Dr. Mary Mullins and Dr. Qing Deng. If you missed Dr. Zartman's research seminar on Thrust 2B from last week, you can access the recording in the All-Hands Meeting Recordings > 2024 folder. direct link: https://app.box.com/s/2lextu4jngh2drsvgzqex72veu51lz4x<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.com%2Fs%2F2lextu4jngh2drsvgzqex72veu51lz4x&data=05%7C02%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Cd3565f2e55864189a9cd08dc4e88dfbd%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638471596974912612%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sA%2Fgke5VbWRVs8v0tLRYonWgBYIDvifLnCHK2XqjUkg%3D&reserved=0>.

All Institute members are encouraged to participate. There may be room for graduate TA’s at Purdue outside of EMBRIO to also participate. EMBRIO INSTITUTE’S 3rd ANNUAL SUMMER SCHOOL: Communicating your research with novice audiences through computational media. Participants will identify a topic of their research (or teaching) that they want to make accessible to novice audiences. Following best practices of learning design or mentoring, participants will create a product (e.g., a computational Colab notebook, a digital poster, a Prezi presentation, or similar) to teach or communicate their selected topic to broader audiences. The products will be broadly disseminated through the Institute. EMBRIO Institute's 2nd Annual Summer Training Workshop took place July 10-12, 2023.
