Reposting our Division’s two job searches in developmental/organismal biology and neuroscience - deadline for applications is September 30th. Please spread the word.

Hi all,

It is my pleasure to launch the HHMI Biointeractive and SEAS program's FREE course on 'Inclusive Teaching'. More than anything, this course asks us amidst the haste to slow down, pause and reflect on being human-centered in teaching .

Congratulations Alina Guna! It has been a pleasure to work with you, and I'm excited to see all of the amazing science you'll do over the next couple of years and in your own lab! So well deserved!

“Women earn more than 50% of PhD’s, but receive only 39% of postdoc fellowships & 18% of professorships.[..] The more decorated a male scientist is, the fewer women he trains, and universities hire their junior faculty members from these elite men’s labs.”

A discovery from the Clemons Lab @Caltech may help researchers fulfill bacteriophages' initial promise as an antibiotic therapeutic.

Marshaling the right phages at the right time to address bacterial infections could create a new, more durable antibiotic.

Hey, this is so cool! Thanks Johannes Herrmann and Doron! Congrats Tino Pleiner Giovani Pinton Tomaleri and Masami!

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

Summer webinar next week!

'To do or not to do…a postdoc!'

Join us June 29th 12pm EDT/9am PT to hear from our amazing panel who all made different decisions about whether to do a postdoc. Q&A followed by break out rooms! It should be a lively conversation!

Please RT. Please speak now or forever* hold your ✌️Please discuss w/send to your advisor (they have opinions), your postdoc/ grad association (they have stories). This is the window to put it on the record. I know ppl are tired/jaded but please participate!
