A really important skill for trainees to learn is to be a “closer” of a project-that is to take it over the finish line for publication. This means doing the experiments, getting the figures/text ready for submission and being prepared to do review corrections 😀

In collaboration with universities across the globe, a researcher at Charlotte may have determined why some people never got COVID-19. What they discovered and how it could improve treatments of the virus ➡️ bit.ly/CLT-GEN

Excited to share our latest Forum article in Trends in Biochemical Sciences “Understanding chaperone specificity: evidence for a ‘client code’” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0968000423001329?dgcid=author

Over the last few years, I have served on a committee of the #NationalAcademies (chaired by @TammyKolda) to produce some posters and other related media to showcase twenty-first century #mathematics and its applications in the real world, suitable for display in classrooms or math departments. Our posters (together with some associated commentary, webinars on related topics, and even a whimsical "comic") are now available for download at https://nap.nationalacademies.org/resource/other/deps/illustrating-math/interactive/ .

Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) & life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries (lines = averages).

The United States sits alone in the bottom right quadrant due to its much higher spending and below-average life expectancy.
