This Wednesday, Feb 2nd, we have Yukti Dhingra as our speaker in the Bio-WIP Seminar Series. Yukti is a Ph.D. candidate working with Dipali Sashital on CRISPR-Cas system. Today, we invite you to take a moment to meet Yukti Dhingra and learn more about her professional journey.

For our next GLC Career Alternatives Seminar, we have invited Dr. Nadilia Gomez to be our guest speaker, and she will be talking about what she does as CTO of the Digital and Precision Ag Biosciences Platform at Iowa State University and her interesting career path. #bbmb #ISU

#MyPhD, What Next? No matter how far along you are in your Ph.D. training, the decision of staying in academia or adventuring into non-academic jobs may represent a source of stress for many. So, today we have a simple comparison between these two paths. Today's Tip is great.

Upon conclusion of your Ph.D., you may only consider academia vs industry. But there are many other options beyond the two. Here are just a few to consider. Today's tip invites you to use MyIDT to gather insights and maybe tune or refine your career path possibilities. #bbmb #isu

Time out for some fun. Our GLC social event happened last week and we had lots of fun. For everyone who joined us, Thank you!

The GLC will host a Career Alternatives Seminar event this Friday, March 25th, 2022. We invited Dr. Philip Hemken as our guest speaker. Dr. Hemken is the principal research scientist at Abbott and will be giving a background of his career in science. Save the date. Don't miss out

The 2022 Stupka Undergraduate Research Symposium is coming soon! The event will feature research from current students, alumni, and keynote speakers @ehaswell and Jason McLellan Support this unique undergrad-run symposium here: fundisu.foundation.iastate.edu/project/30652

A development that could affect - in a positive way - the food supply for 1.4 billion of our fellow humans! Thrilling to see China modernize its regulatory framework to where the one in the US, and a number of other countries, already is.

The GLC presents our next graduate student presenting in our Bio-WIP seminar series, Pengxin Yang. Pengxin's Ph.D. work investigates the cis-regulatory networks governing gene expression in porcine immune cells at single-cell resolution using scATAC-seq. #meetourgrads

We have a plasmidsaurus dropbox, outside of 3138 MBB (third floor, west side)! Drop off samples by Tues evening (or early Wed) if you are Iowa State University and want to sequence your plasmids! Thanks @shra_krishna for setting up the box! GDCBISU BBMB at Iowa State Iowa State Chemical and Biological Engineering MCDBISU EEOB @ ISU

Hannah Piper was our Ph.D. candidate presenting in the Bio-WIP seminar series today. Hannah works in the Stone Chen Lab investigating the regulation of actin through the WASH Regulatory Complex. Today, we invite you to meet her and learn more about her professional journey.

Congratulations to the 2022 BBMB at Iowa State graduating seniors! We can't wait to see what you do next!

Today was kayaking day! Thank you everyone for joining GLC in this great event.
