In this season— I am full and thankful for it all. This past weekend, I was honored with the 2024 Early Career Award from Penn State’s Graduate School Alumni Society. I am humbled by this achievement and excited to continue paying it forward! #WeAre psu.edu/news/graduate-…

If you're thinking about going on the faculty job market, take a look at this advice doc I just shared with helpimascientist.com: I collected my thoughts about the whole dang thing, from finding positions to negotiating a contract, & I hope y'all find it helpful!

New preprint from the lab! We designed a PPARγ inverse agonist ligand series discovered that subtle compound modifications elicited activities spanning a full spectrum from graded inverse agonism to agonism. #NMR #nuclerareceptors #structuralbiology doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Penn State biologist Janine Kwapis (she/her), Paul Berg Early Career Professor in the Biological Sciences, has been selected to receive a New Investigator Award in Aging Biology and Geroscience Research from the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) psu.edu/news/eberly-co…

Woohoo, congrats Joyce!!!!

lovely time celebrating Joyce's promotion and tenure! Joyce Jose

If you're a postdoc in chemistry (broadly defined) and planning to apply for academic positions, apply to be part of the Postdoc-to-PI Symposium at Penn State to get interview experience and faculty feedback! science.psu.edu/chem/postdoc-t…

If you are a #postdoc in #chemistry (broadly defined) and are planning to apply for tenure track faculty positions, join us for the 2024 Penn State Chemistry Postdoc to PI Symposium on July 9 & 10! Details below!

Not too late to submit an application! Come visit us at PSU!

Many thanks to Huck Institutes and the college Penn State Eberly College of Science for this honor!! I am also grateful to my department Penn State BMB for how I have been supported at Penn State!

I encourage senior postdocs to apply!

Institutional bias is rampant, harmful, and small-minded. It's important to be cognizant of this. Many times last week I had this chat: "Oh are you at [Scripps/UCSD/Salk/etc]?" "No, Cal State San Marcos" "Oh....." ::talks to another person:: 1/3

Happy Friday! Sharing a reminder that we are conducting a broad search in the areas of Genetics, Cell and Developmental Biology Penn State Eberly College of Science Penn State BMB! Come start your career in a supportive environment with dynamic resources! Please help share and spread the word!

More exciting headlines for Melanie McReynolds, Dorothy Foehr Huck and J. Lloyd Huck Early Career Chair in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology! @dailymailuk was the next news outlet to share McReynold's latest research in aging and neurological decline. bit.ly/4dwDCry

I am very sad to hear about the passing of Don Bryant, Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. His contributions to our department Penn State BMB were immense and foundational to our department’s success. He will be surely missed!

Now that we're entering faculty job season, I want to reshare my ✨job search advice doc✨. It compiles all the super helpful advice I received from mentors & includes my own experiences on the market. Best of luck out there, everyone - you got this! 💪 helpimascientist.com/wp-content/upl…

It was such a pleasure to have you visit Penn State !!! Thanks Sonya Neal for sharing your excellent science (and philosophy of research) with us!

Melanie McReynolds, Dorothy Foehr Huck and J. Lloyd Huck Early Career Chair in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and her team discovered that by blocking a specific enzyme — IDO1 — they could rescue memory and brain function in models that mimic Alzheimer’s. #PennStateBMB

📢It's a big milestone for the Lee lab - our very first preprint!!! 🥳 Grad student Deepshi A led a team of undergrads to ask how germ cells handle DNA damage with nucleosomes crowding the way 🚨 hint: 🚧NuRD remodeling clears a path for DSB repair🚧 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
