Proteintech is supporting researchers by offering 2 x $1000 travel grants to attend the International Society for Stem Cell Research
(ISSCR-2024) annual meeting in Hamburg, Germany. Each grant will cover up to $1,000 of expenses towards registration, airfare, and lodging expenses.
In 2019 IQ and Western University launched the Great Lakes Advanced Molecular Sciences (GLAMS) Summer Courses with an Advanced Molecular Imaging Course and are now reviving these summer courses, after the COVID-imposed hiatus. The 2024 offerings include courses in advanced microscopy, stem cell and organoid biology andmolecular imaging and we encourage you to look at the course content and encourage colleagues and trainees to register for courses that peak their interests and help advance their research. The course content, schedules and registration can be found on the IQ website at: https://iq.msu.edu/glams2024/ and we are certain you will find the content compelling.
The premise for these courses is that there is often a need to rapidly acquire new skills and knowledge in an adjacent field to help expand and augment your research in an environment where one can learn from experts. These advanced courses have been developed for graduate students, postdocs and early-career faculty who would like to acquire new skills. Experienced, highly skilled undergraduates may also find these courses to be useful—but they should check with the course directors. Each course is 3-5 days long and is taught between June 20th to 30th , 2024 in Holland Michigan—near the beaches of Lake Michigan. Faculty from IQ and Western University have coordinated these courses and have invited instructors and keynote lectures from around the country who are among the world’s experts. The structure of the courses is immersive and engaging with lectures in the morning, hands-on experiments and demos in the afternoon, and keynote lectures in the evening—the courses, and the events around the courses, are designed to help build a network of colleagues and resources that will help advance scientific careers.
Although these courses are supported, in part, by industrial partners, foundations and participating Universities, there are registration fees and housing costs for these courses—see the website for details. Registration costs will increase after May 1. All meals are provided for the duration of the course for which you register.
Dear ,
We would like to invite you and your friends to join us for this year’s celebration of Postdoctoral Excellence with a luncheon on May 9 at the MSU Union Ballroom from 12 pm – 2 pm. Please register at the link here so we can make sure we order an appropriate amount of food (catered by Olive Garden).
In addition to the presentation of the awards for Postdoctoral Excellence in Research (PERA) and for Postdoctoral Excellence in Teaching and/or Mentoring (PETMA), the awardees for the PERA will have an opportunity to briefly present some of their work. We will also hear from the Postdoctoral Association steering committee members and have some time for networking.
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
MSU will host The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) Importation of Biologicals Workshop on May 23, 2024 from 8:00AM – 5:00PM at the Breslin Center.
Experts from the CBP, USDA-APHIS, FWS, FDA, FAA, FBI and more will be on hand to discuss the regulatory and safety challenges of importing biological materials into the United States. Attendees may include PIs, Technicians, Post Doc, Safety Managers, Students, etc. This year’s workshop includes presentation from a plant import expert.
Space is limited in this popular workshop. To register, contact Jamie Willard-Smith at cherryme@msu.edu by Monday, May 1 with the names and contact information of those attending.
Includes breakfast pastries/refreshments and boxed lunch.
This event is hosted by the MSU Offices of Research and Regulatory Support (MSU ORRS) and Environmental Health and Safety (MSU EHS). We look forward to your participation and hope to see several MSU Departments, Michigan Colleges/Universities, and Big 10 Universities represented!
