María Montes Bayón will be the recipient of the 2023 Lester W. Strock Award in recognition of her series of stellar publications addressing the use of atomic spectroscopy in speciation and metallomics! Congrats ...👏👏👏 Universidad Oviedo Facultad de Química - Universidad de Oviedo SEQA FACSS/SciX

Fungi make an important contribution to global carbon sequestration and this is another factor that needs to be worked into models of how greenhouse gas emissions affect climate thehill.com/policy/equilib…

Do you know any post-baccs or current research associates that would like to work in my lab? I’m looking for a 2 year commitment and an interest/skills in proteins and metal ions! Pay is competitive and the work is fun. I just need help doing all this science! DM for more info.

“If the pandemic was whispering to us about air quality, the wildfires are screaming to us about it,” writes Linsey Marr https://www.threads.net/@linseycmarr. “It’s clear we should be on the precipice of a new public health movement to improve the air we breathe.” nyti.ms/3P8KXEe

Please join us in congratulating ASBMB members Bou-Nader lab, Wendy Gilbert, Nicholas Ingolia and Amanda Hargrove on receiving awards from the RNA Society (RNA) this year! #ASBMBMemberNews asbmb.org/asbmb-today/pe…

As part of the current Cell issue 52 Black science faculty came together to comment on Juneteenth in STEMM, the barriers to equitable science, and institutional-level solutions. Thank you Antentor Othrell Hinton, Jr PhD (A.J. Hinton) for your vision and leadership. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Distinguished scientist Hertha Sponer was the first woman to join our faculty. She arrived at Duke after being dismissed from her position in Germany when the Nazis came to power. More about that history and her contributions: duke.is/p9wkz Duke Research & Innovation

A @DukeResearch team led by chemist David Beratan is among the group who has earned the 2023 Faraday Horizon Prize from Royal Society of Chemistry for advances in electron bifurcation - a biochemical process through which cells transform and harness energy. 🔗duke.is/jxke7 #RSCPrizes

There are a few spots remaining for the Ph.D. Transitions Group Coaching Program! Don't miss this opportunity to work with a professional coach and supportive peers who will support you in your doctoral program. bit.ly/43QJnf3

It is such an honor to be Sydney Chemistry as the Hans Freeman lecturer! In preparation, I read up on old papers of Prof Freeman (recommend), and share this gem with you. Yes, indeed, #MetalsAndPeptides are still a subject of increasing biochemical interest!

Quantifying the potential economic impact of antimicrobial resistance is one way of trying to get government attention to address the problem...this article looks at how much Australia could save if we reduced resistance in just 3 types of infections..

Only US citizens or residents. Possibility of 2-year. postdoc well funded by American Cancer Society in our Lab (organometallic anticancer agents, targeted therapies) for: organometallic/inorganic chemist, nanotechnologist, cancer biologist. PhD obtained last 3 years.

Several years ago, I wrote a 2-page guide on how to give a killer narratively-driven scientific talk. I called it "The David Attenborough Method", in homage to the master storyteller. x.com/wc_ratcliff/st… I recently expanded upon it in a short essay: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hRhv5Eb1BZj…

Great people and fantastic science at #ICBIC20. I’m so fortunate and thankful to have given a talk on my thesis work with Franz Lab 🦠🧪 A huge thank you to SBIC for allowing me to make the trip to Adelaide

We loved having you. Great work coming out of Hematian Lab. Redox and Cu, yes please!
