The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) is holding a contest to find amazing images and videos that show the beauty of cell biology. Winning entries will be featured during Cell Bio Virtual 2020 - An Online ASCB|EMBO Meeting in December.
The American Society for Cell Biology will experiment with innovative approaches to categorize the scientific significance of reported research without dependence on journal “name brands.” ASCB was one of three organizations selected by the Wellcome Trust and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to receive the first Learned Society Curation Awards, which are designed for organizations that “want to explore new ways of signaling the significance of published research outputs in an open and transparent manner.”
The grants will be made available to members who fall under NIH’s Interest in Diversity Notice and are underrepresented within the Society. Through its Innovative Programs to Enhance Research Training (IPERT) grant, ASCB can offer funding to ensure access to the meeting for undergraduate, graduate, postdoc, and junior faculty who identify as underrepresented minorities.
The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) is launching a new library subscription model for its peer-reviewed basic research journal—Molecular Biology of the Cell—making it the first research journal to experiment with Subscribe to Open (S2O). With S2O, all MBoC readers may have open access in 2021, while the author's cost will remain low.
The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) was awarded a first-of-its-kind National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to enhance diversity in the academic biomedical workforce.
After careful consideration, the ASCB Council unanimously voted to cancel the in-person meeting scheduled to be held in Philadelphia in December and instead hold Cell Bio Virtual 2020-An Online ASCB|EMBO Meeting.
The seven winners of the American Society for Cell Biology’s 2020 Public Engagement Grant Awards have created programs that share the wonder of science with vulnerable populations, such as people experiencing homelessness, the incarcerated, or refugees.
Nobel laureate Martin Chalfie was elected by members of the American Society for Cell Biology to serve as ASCB President in 2022. He will serve as President-Elect on the Executive Committee in 2021.
Kimberly Tanner and Jeffrey Schinske will become co-Editors-in-Chief of CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE) on August 1, 2020. The two will succeed Erin Dolan after her second term as Editor-in-Chief. LSE is the peer-reviewed, open access journal on life science education research from the American Society for Cell Biology.
The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) created several honorific awards to recognize established life scientists who, over their careers, have made significant contributions to the discipline of cell biology and to the community of cell biologists. Applications for all these awards are now open and close May 15.
The American Society for Cell Biology wants to encourage scientists who have exhibited great promise early in their professional journeys with a variety of honorific awards. Below are several awards available to life scientists who are just beginning their careers—from graduate school through the first few years as a new investigator. Applications for all these awards open March 15.
The 2020 American Society for Cell Biology Regional Meeting, Teaching Tomorrow’s Scientists, will be held May 30 at Soka University of America in Alisa Viejo, California.
