Talk about an amazing debut! Catalina was recognized as a runner up in the #SB3C2022 BS level student paper competition. I’m so proud of her and our team. Many thanks to the organizers for a great conference.

It’s finally official! I’m beyond excited to join the @mechseILLINOIS department at UIUC as an assistant professor in January. I couldn’t ask for a better fit, personally or professionally, and I cannot thank all those who’ve supported me enough!

We embrace failure as part of the scientific process - what is important is how we respond to our failures. Xiangkun Elvis Cao and Dr. Gladys Ngetich 🇰🇪 reflect on this concept and their 'CVs of failure' in @NatureRevChem - The Need to Normalize Failure - nature.com/articles/s4157…

Congratulations to Catalina Bastias on another runner up win in the SB3C Student Paper Competition! I’m so excited to welcome you to UIUC this fall and to continue working together!

What’re the odds of two Schmidt Science Fellows attending the same non-Schmidt conference? Loved catching up with Hannah Zlotnick at #SB3C.

The Musculoskeletal Extracellular Matrix Laboratory is looking for a creative postdoc to join us in Colorado to investigate how extracellular matrix remodeling is regulated by mechanical loading in the developing and adult mouse sarahcalve.com/openings

Congratulations, Catalina Bastias! We are thrilled to have you join @mechseILLINOIS and the IBB lab. mechse.illinois.edu/news/56633

"Team science is the best science." 🔸🤝🔹🤝 @mechseILLINOIS's Callan Luetkemeyer joined the Beckman team as a faculty researcher. Welcome, Professor Luetkemeyer! 👏 Learn about her work ▶️ bit.ly/3rPbiO2

I’m so thankful the world has people like Xiangkun Elvis Cao in it!

Times Higher Education and Schmidt Science Fellows have partnered to develop a new Interdisciplinary Science Ranking that recognizes and celebrates interdisciplinary science in higher education worldwide. Learn more about our plans from Times Higher Education.

We’ve funded 5 new early stage fellowship collaborations like this one via our Catalyst Grant Scheme schmidtsciencefellows.org/news/2023-cata… The program is building community and ensures emerging ideas that may find it hard to attract early funding get the chance to realize their potential…

The senior Schmidt Science Fellows conference in Chicago was absolutely extraordinary. Getting to learn from this group of brilliant, kind, and creative scientists from all over the world and across all disciplines is a privilege I will never take for granted.

Introducing the Oddity Scholars Pre-doctoral Program! We’re here to support the next generation of innovators with generous stipends and the opportunities to innovate with mentorship before a PhD. assets-global.website-files.com/645d1472451628…

Huge thanks to the organizers SB3C Organizers for putting together the best #SB3C yet! Congratulations Catalina Bastias on your big win in the MS student paper competition! I’m so proud of our USL work with Sarah Calve and Dr. Virginia Ferguson and excited about our next project with Matthew Dean.

The Schmidt Science Fellows Interdisciplinary Science Summit in Toronto was just what I needed: a reminder that the world’s biggest problems are not solved by one person or one discipline. Forever grateful to have the support of this community of incredible scientists.

It’s been an absolute pleasure to have our REU student, Lennox, in the IBB lab this summer. We will miss her can-do attitude and talent as she returns to TN State for the fall semester. I know this bright young person will accomplish big things!

Congrats to Catalina on giving her first podium presentation at UMSRS today! She presented our preliminary work on the endometrium in collaboration with Matthew Dean - an exciting direction in which we are just getting started!

Today, the atmosphere on NIH campus was even more collaborative than usual! We brought hundreds of scientists, engineers, and clinicians together to foster new connections and create more opportunities for clinically impactful work.

Very proud of the Schmidt Science Fellows team for working with Times Higher Education to develop the Interdisciplinary Science Rankings. Shout out to my alma mater, University of Michigan, for breaking the top ten! timeshighereducation.com/interdisciplin…
