May 7th broadcast/Q& A - Director, NIGMS (NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences)

[Dana Bresee Keeth]

Forwarded message from Dr. Sarah Goodwin <sgoodwin at ascb.org>  (non MIT):

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to let you know about a project out of UCSF called iBiology.org 
<http://iBiology.org>.  iBiology (www.ibiology.org 
<http://www.ibiology.org/>) is a growing collection of free 
open-access online videos by scientists about research and discoveries 
in fields ranging from ecology to biophysics, and also features short 
talks on topics such as professional development, careers, policy, and 
education, and a course on light microscopy. iBiology is funded by NSF, 
NIGMS, and HHMI, and supported by the ASCB.

We’ve started to hold (free) live Q&A’s with speakers, and this month 
we’ll be interviewing Jon Lorsch, the Director of the NIGMS. Dr. Lorsch 
has a huge influence in the initiatives that the NIGMS takes on, and is 
especially interested in training and biomedical workforce and funding 
issues.  This is a chance to ask him any question you want and get your 
voices and concerns heard.

I was hoping you could forward this message about iBiology and the Live 
Q&A out to your graduate students and post-docs.  It would be great if 
they were a part of the conversation!

Thanks for your time

Best,

Sarah
