Michelet Paul and Jayla Jones, seniors at FSU, spent half a day at FSU X-Ray Facility (RRID:SCR_017922) learning to be a core facility personnel. This was through FSU Career Center's FSU Shadow program. Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) is interested this type of events too.

ABRF - Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) started the pilot project of authenticating membership and service to our organization and writing them to your ORCID profile. That pilot is proceeding well. Stay tuned for the next steps to incorporating more members!

Why saying hello to strangers can be good for you
A study establishes that "social ties" — a fancy way of saying being nice to other, even those you don't know — has benefits. A teacher asked her students to test the thesis in real life.

Why one might feel younger than their age? 1) Your genes 2) Mentor's help on what to cherish and what to chuck & a way to tell them apart 3) Have a small circle of individual you care about and their reciprocal interest in you 4) Believe things will turn out ok and not to worry about your mistakes

أخيراً، بعد سِت سنوات من القراء، الكاتبة، الاكلام والاستماع على اللغة العربية, أنا حصلتُ على دراجة بكالوريوس في دراسات الشرقة الأوسط من جامعة ولاية فلوريدا. أرغب في الاستمرار في تعلّم اللغة العربية. إستطاعتُ أفعل الرحلة لانني أسرتي، أساتذتي وأصدقاءي. كان الأمر سهلاً لأنني أردتُ تعلُّمها.

The Molecular Biophysics Program (biophysics.fsu.edu/mob-program) @ FSU runs XRF IMB Bootcamp for the incoming graduate students (fla.st/W2APS9QW). In the first session, we covered solution preparations for hanging drop and sitting drop crystallization of a biological macromolecule.

Two undergraduate students wanted to learn about careers in the Shared Research Resources (aka Core Facilities). I hosted them at my Crystallography Core Facility (fla.st/KSHU8LQZ). RRID_017922. This was made possible by FSU Career Center (career.fsu.edu) a program called FSUShadow.

It’s time to admit that genes are not the blueprint for life
The view of biology often presented to the public is oversimplified and out of date. Scientists must set the record straight, argues a new book.

Bluesky promises to shake up social media. It might finally succeed.
The timing may finally be right for open platforms like Bluesky as social media moves toward a more fragmented future.
