Posted by the Node, on 1 September 2015
Our jobs page was very busy this month, with 15 new positions advertised! Here are some of the other highlights:
Discussion:
– What is the best way to encourage peer reviewing? Share your thoughts in the latest Question of the Month!
– In a piece originally published in the Journal of Cell Science, Martin Schwartz argued that learning how to separate self interest from the scientific process should be an important part of scientific training.
Resources:
– Do you want to teach school students about stem cells? João collaborated with an artist to create a comic book called ‘A stem cell adventure‘, that you can download for free. He wrote about the project for our outreach series.
– We collated a new list of societies, databases and other useful resources. Help us make this a comprehensive list!
– And here is some of the career and outreach advice shared at the recent SDB meeting.
Interviews:
– We reposted two interviews originally published in Development: An interview with Lewis Wolpert, winner of this year’s BSDB Waddington Medal, and an interview with plant developmental biologist Caroline Dean.
– And the interview chain continues, with an interview with SDB poster prize winner Valeria Yartseva.
Also on the Node:
– Mike Levin wrote about recent papers in his lab on long-range signaling via gap junctions.
– Allison and Tamara reported from the first meeting of the Pan American Evo Devo Society.
– and Héctor shared his experience visiting the Rivolta lab at the University of Sheffield, sponsored by a Development travelling fellowship.
