Sept. 14: NIH events for young scientists

The National Institutes of Health Office of Intramural Training and Education has a robust schedule of virtual events. On Sept. 14, there are three events: , , and .

Sept. 15: Webinar about science and social media

The American Society for Investigative Pathology is hosting a virtual event titled "Promote Yourself and Your Science on Social Media" at 4 p.m. Eastern on Sept. 15. Attendees will learn how to use Twitter, how to promote their own work and findings, and how to use elements of storytelling to communicate science.

ASBMB advocacy town halls

The ASBMB public affairs team is hosting a series of public forums in September and October. These are meant to be highly interactive events, wherein the most dominant voices will be ASBMB members'. Please consider attending these virtual events and sharing your perspectives.

Sept. 15 | 2–3 p.m. EDT — International collaboration, immigration and the STEM workforce: The U.S. scientific enterprise relies on attracting talent from and collaborating with leading research institutions and universities all over the world. But visa restrictions, travel bans, anti-immigrant rhetoric and violence, and scapegoating have made the U.S. less inviting and less safe for immigrants and have made collaborations more complicated and risky. Discuss your experiences and what sort of policies you think are needed to protect immigrant scientists and foster strong and fruitful international collaborations.

Sept. 29 | 2–3 p.m. EDT — Women in STEM and gendered challenges: Women in STEM face myriad challenges that can prevent them from succeeding in academic research careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, women have been disproportionately burdened with childcare, elder caregiving and other domestic responsibilities. Early reports indicate that domestic and emotional labor disparities are affecting women scientists’ productivity, which is likely to have long-term effects on their careers. Tell us about your experiences so that we can make the case for policy changes to ensure gender equity in the sciences.

Oct. 6 | 2–3 p.m. EDT — The pandemic's impact on non-COVID research: Non-COVID-19 research has taken a back seat during the pandemic as scientists scramble to better understand the Sars-CoV-2 virus and develop therapies and vaccines. But it remains important for the scientific community to strongly advocate for sustained investment into non-COVID research. Share your experiences and perspectives to help inform our policy solutions to sustain non-COVID-19 research.

Sept. 15: Glycobiology meeting abstracts due

The Society for Glycobiology's will be held virtually this year. Regular abstracts are due Sept. 15. Late-breaking abstracts are due Nov. 2. We want to point out one special talk at this meeting: of the Boston University School of Medicine will give the . (MCP is an ASBMB journal.)
