Aug. 11: Deadline for HHMI program for medically trained scientists

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute will be accepting up to 10 biomedical scientists for its new $120 million research program. According to the announcement we received, the Medically Trained Scientists Program "will offer as many as eight years of support for up to 10 early career scientists who are committed to conducting basic research."

Aug. 12–13: Environment and biomarkers workshop

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine will hold a virtual workshop titled "Predicting Human Health Effects from Environmental Exposures: Applying Translatable and Accessible Biomarkers of Effect" on Aug. 12 and 13. Now, what's unique about this event is that they're going to release pre-recorded lectures on Aug. 3 so that workshop participants can watch them when they have time and then engage in discussion before, during and after the event on the online platform.

Call for virtual scientific event proposals

The ASBMB provides members with a virtual platform to share scientific research and accomplishments and to discuss emerging topics and technologies with the BMB community.

The ASBMB will manage the technical aspects, market the event to tens of thousands of contacts and present the digital event live to a remote audience. Additional tools such as polling, Q&A, breakout rooms and post event Twitter chats may be used to facilitate maximum engagement.

Seminars are typically one to two hours long. A workshop or conference might be longer and even span several days.

Prospective organizers may submit proposals at any time. Decisions are usually made within four to six weeks. 

Propose an event.
