🌟🔬 We are thrilled to share more about the groundbreaking research of Leoš Valášek and his team from IMIC. In a recent popularization article, dr. Valášek sheds light on their work in the field of molecular biology and the potential of repairing translation errors caused by tRNA molecules. Supported by the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR), their results have gained international recognition and were recently published in the most prestigious journals like Nature and Natural Structural and Molecular Biology. 📌 If you want to find out more, you can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eSYggGik.

𝗠𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝟯 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Yesterday, I had the pleasure to give a lecture on effective presentations to members of the Cell and Molecular Biology department at Karolinska Institutet. I provided three tips to give effective research presentations which encourage dialogue with the audience. Everytime I coach scientists, I get new and exiting insights into what's "behind the corner" and I think: "Why didn't I know this before?" Research is too important to be left in a drawer. It should be communicated as much as possible! In an engaging and responsible way of course. That is what I teach in my lectures and workshops. What are YOUR three tips to create an effective presentation? #scicomm #research #presentationskills #presentationcoach

Nazish Jeffery, Ph.D., a 2021 graduate of our Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program, has charted her career path at the intersection of science and policy. She bridges the gap between scientific research, policy formulation, and implementation, drawing on her experiences to address challenges within the scientific community and advocate for policies that promote innovation and support the scientific ecosystem.

Guide: How to Choose a Good Scientific Problem? "Choosing good problems is essential for being a good scientist. But what is a good problem, and how does a scientist choose one? The subject is not usually discussed explicitly within our profession. Scientists are expected to be smart enough to figure it out on their own and through the observation of their teachers. This lack of explicit discussion leaves a vacuum that can lead to approaches such as choosing problems that can give results that merit publication in valued journals, resulting in a job and tenure."

Excited to Join the Conversation! I am thrilled to announce that I have been invited to serve as a panelist at the upcoming event: "Navigating the Future of Biochemistry: The Science of Research, Problem Solving, and Networking," hosted by the Department of Biochemistry, University of Jos . 🗓️ Save the Date: Saturday, March 23, 2024 🕘 Time: 9:00 AM As a passionate advocate for advancing scientific research and fostering collaboration, I am honored to be part of this insightful discussion. Together with esteemed colleagues, we will explore the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field of biochemistry. Join us as we delve into the science of research, share strategies for problem-solving, and discuss the importance of networking in driving innovation and progress. Whether you're a seasoned professional, an aspiring scientist, or simply curious about the future of biochemistry, this event promises to be enlightening and engaging. I look forward to sharing insights, exchanging ideas, and connecting with fellow enthusiasts. Let's come together to chart a course for a brighter future in biochemistry! #biochemistry #research #problemsolving #networking #science #universityofjos American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB)

Scientific inquiry starts with observation. The more one can see, the more one can investigate - Martin Chalfie Indeed, it is true as quoted by Mr. Martin Chalfie. After observations and reflections on the "nature vs nurture" concept, students explored the Mendel's pea plant experiment to investigate how genetics has been passed on to them from their parents. I was not aware that I will be surprised the next morning. My grade 3 student presented his understanding of the experiment in a much simple way, yet powerful! Please have a look at what my little researcher has done!

This summer, I had the wonderful opportunity to write a professional literature review supported and funded by the Harvard OpenBio Undergraduate Laboratory on the genetic origin of Deep Vein Thrombosis, a deadly and unpredictable disease prevalent in today's society. My paper discovered a lot of genetic origins that have not previously been studied at this scale and I'm glad to announce this new breakthrough. Big thanks to my mentor Fadwa Kamari from Notre Dame, all of my fellow researchers, and Harvard OpenBio staff who made this a life-changing experience! Take a look at my research poster on this very important topic and new discoveries below! I also presented my poster and work at Harvard OpenBio's online Student Research Institute symposium earlier this month. Watch my verbal presentation here: https://lnkd.in/gem7msJC (Ends at 38:52) If you're interested in learning more about Harvard OpenBio, or about my research, feel free to leave a comment or question below!
