July 19: Unpacking racialization, intersectionality and community

The National Academy of Medicine is hosting a virtual event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern on July 29 titled "Systems Impact: Unpacking Racialization, Intersectionality and Community." Hosted by the NAM's Culture of Health program, the event sill cover the evolution of racialization and its relationship to health outcomes, intersectionality as a framework to understand health outcomes and examples of communities displaying resilience towards system racism and working to dismantle, rebuild and create new equitable systems.

July 20: ASIP seminar on the T cell unfolded protein response

At 1 p.m. Eastern, Sasha Smolgovsky, a Ph.D. candidate at Tufts University, will deliver a presentation titled: "Dysregulation of the T Cell Unfolded Protein Response Directs Cardiac Inflammation in Cardiometabolic Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction." This presentation is part of the American Society for Investigative Pathology's young investigator keynote seminar series. .

July 27: Webinar on antimicrobial resistance

The Biochemical Society is hosting a webinar July 27 about approaches for tackling antimicrobial resistance in "in collaborative, interdisciplinary and sustainable ways, exploring the roles of different players, from the R&D community to policymakers."

July 31: Visiting researcher program application deadline

Enterprise Incubator Foundation, with the support of PMI Science R&D Center Armenia, invites researchers from foreign universities, research institutes and companies to apply for its 2023 Visiting Researcher Program to boost collaborative research results and international collaborations. The program aims to bring international scientists to Armenia and is open to academics from all corners of the world who:

• Are motivated to work with research teams in various directions.
• Are excited to share their knowledge and expertise with the science community in Armenia.
• Are encouraged to participate in workshops, lectures, seminars, and exclusive community activities to foster networking.

Aug. 6 & 10: DOE workshops for prospective undergrad interns

The U.S. Department of Energy offers internships at national labs. New grads, students at community colleges and students attending four-year institutions may apply now. The agency will host a workshop about the application for community college students at 3 p.m. Eastern on Aug. 2 and a workshop about the application for four-year students and new grads at 3 p.m. Aug. 10.

Aug. 15: Janssen Immunology Day registration deadline

The Janssen Scholars of Immunology Diversity Engagement Program was created to build relationships with exceptional, ethnically diverse Ph.D. students, medical students, Pharm.D. students, and postdoctoral researchers. During Janssen Immunology Day, a virtual event on Sept. 11, attendees will be exposed to the R&D process within industry and obtain an understanding of the critical skillsets fostering a successful industry career. Those who attend Janssen Immunology Day will have the opportunity to apply to advance to the mentoring step of SIDEP, in which scholars will be paired with Janssen leaders in an ongoing one-year mentoring experience. Applications for this step are due mid-October. .

Aug. 21: Deadline for Biochemical Society scicomm prize

In this annual competition, the Biochemical Society looks to identify and celebrate outstanding science communicators! Students are invited to submit a written or media entry, which discusses a topic in the biosciences, aimed at the general public. Winners are selected for both categories (written and media), with prizes awarded for first (£300 ), second (£200) and third (£100) place for two educational stage groups. Winning entries in the written category will be published in the Society’s magazine, The Biochemist, and both written and media entries will be published on the Society’s website. .

Sept. 6: Fellowship for computational scientists and immunologists

This American Association of Immunologists fellowship program is intended to improve understanding and communication between immunology researchers and computational scientists by affording an opportunity to train in each other’s discipline. A priincipal investigator may apply for a fellowship to support a postdoctoral fellow trained in basic bench research to undertake one year of training in computational science or a postdoctoral fellow trained in computational science to spend one year in an immunology research lab to learn basic immunological principles and laboratory techniques. Reciprocal six-month exchanges between labs will also be considered. .

Sept. 6: Apply for the AAI's career reentry fellowship

The American Association of Immunologists' Fellowship Program for Career Reentry provides support for immunologists to reenter the workforce after a lapse of research or research training due to medical leave or family circumstances. This fellowship program will provide one year of salary support to postdoctoral trainees who have taken a leave of absence of one year or more for family-related issues, medical absences or military obligations. These reasons primarily include recovering from a serious illness; caring for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious illness or injury; providing elder or child care; or relocating due to a spousal career transition. The fellowship does not pay fringe benefits or other indirect costs to the institution. .

Oct. 23: Cardiovascular–renal research symposium

The Cardiovascular–Renal Research Center at The University of Mississippi Medical Center is hosting a research symposium Oct. 23 for graduate students.

IUBMB MilliporeSigma fellowship

The International Union of Biochemistry and ͵ÅÄ͵¿ú Biology welcomes applications year-round for its MilliporeSigma Virtual Meetings and Courses Fellowships. Grad students and postdocs from countries that are associate or full members of the IUBMB may apply for funding to present their work at virtual events in the IUBMB region.

IUBMB relocation support for displaced trainees

The International Union of Biochemistry and ͵ÅÄ͵¿ú Biology is offering $2,000 to graduate students and postdocs displaced from their labs as a result of natural disaster, war or "other events beyond their control that interrupt their training." The money is for travel and settling in. and spread the word to those who could use assistance.
