If you’re heading to Philadelphia in April for the 2022 麻豆传媒色情片 and 麻豆传媒色情片 Biology Annual Meeting, you’ll need to be ready to hit the ground running. The first day will include a slew of events designed to help attendees with similar research and pedagogical interests make connections — connections the meeting organizers hope will persist long after.

The interest group networking events will start Saturday, April 2. There will be 11 of them (see box), and some will run concurrently.

of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine serves as chair of the ASBMB Meetings Committee and conceived of the interest groups to “incorporate a broader swath of our community.” They first launched at the 2021 meeting, which was held virtually.

“There was a concern among some of the ASBMB constituents that they really didn’t get a lot of discussions or presentations that focused on what they were really interested in,” Raben said. “They almost felt excluded in a way … because of the limited amount of space we had. The interest group events give folks in various specific disciplines and subdisciplines an opportunity to hold a mini symposium before the meeting actually begins.”

of New York Medical College is one of the 2022 interest group organizers. In 2021, she ran a group focused on signaling with Mythreye Karthikeyan of the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

“I was very excited to organize the interest group in 2021 for several reasons,” Holz said. “The first reason was the ability to craft a session with a unique angle. My own research focuses on breast cancer, and I partnered with (Karthikeyan), who studies ovarian cancer and shares my interests in cancer signaling.

“We invited speakers that work at the intersection of the two cancers and could speak about the common mechanisms underlying the pathobiology of these cancers to spark discussion about novel approaches for treatment.”

Holz said that the speakers were amazing and that there was a productive discussion with attendees, though the virtual format dampened the interactions, so the two are looking forward to holding an in-person event this year.

“We just finalized our new topic, focusing on novel mechanisms of hormonal signaling in cancer and development, and invited our speakers, who are too thrilled to come to the meeting,” Holz said. “Virtual meetings allow for accessibility, and there is a strong argument to continue some of them going forward. However, nothing can replace the personal connections and unfettered exchange of ideas that happen during on-site meetings because science is a collaborative enterprise conducted by scientists who are colleagues and friends.”

is a postdoc at the University of California, San Diego, who presented her work in 2021 at another signaling interest group that focused on cellular communication in health and disease.

“I really enjoyed the opportunity to share my work with the diverse audience that attends the annual meeting,” Schmitt said. “As the interest groups are all under a theme, it was good and really helpful to attend talks that are all related to my work or using similar techniques, and it’s always interesting to hear about new work from labs I am more familiar with.”

She also attended a separate interest group and noted: “I really enjoyed that the interest groups had a mix of presenters, from established professors to graduate students and postdocs, so you got a range of talks in the session.”

For the second year in a row, of the University of San Diego and of Kalamazoo College are organizing an interest group on research education. The session is titled “Collaborative Teaching through CURES.” (CURES stands for course鈥恇ased undergraduate research experiences.)

Bell said that the conversations among speakers and attendees that began in 2021 have continued since.

“These interactions have advanced incorporation of CUREs on a number of campuses,” he said.

In fact, those connections got the wheels turning for a proposal for the National Science Foundation’s Improving Undergraduate STEM Education program “to further study a series of pedagogical questions about using CUREs to give undergraduates authentic research experiences,” he said.

Bell added: “We are excited about the 2022 networking event. ... Our goal is to not only continue the discussion and interactions that were started at the 2021 meeting but also identify new pedagogical questions that the community can coalesce around and continue the discussions to broaden the growing network of educators and discipline-based researchers focused on biochemistry education.”

Raben noted that, whereas speakers for spotlight talks at the annual meeting are selected based on their abstract submissions, the interest group organizers are given complete freedom to select their topics and speakers because “it’s their community.”

Submissions of interest group proposals for the 2023 annual meeting will be accepted in the fall.
