Posters On The Hill is going virtual!!

The CUR National Office has been researching ways to honor your achievement of being accepted to the 2020 Posters on the Hill celebration. Though the in-person event has sadly been canceled, we have big plans to make the most of this situation.
First, we are organizing a virtual poster session to take place on April 21. This is the same originally-scheduled date of the poster reception that would have taken place on Capitol Hill. More details will follow soon, check your emails!
Second, we are producing a full digital PDF program to commemorate the event just like we would any other year. It will be published to the CUR website and you can reference it on your resume or CV. We will provide guidance on how to cite acceptance to a canceled event; just because we had to cancel does not mean you shouldn’t be able to highlight this achievement to grad schools or potential employers!
Finally, we are working with our public affairs partners to figure out how you can still “meet” with your members of Congress. This may mean phone meetings or video conferences, engagement on social media, and more. More information is coming soon so be on the lookout.

CRISPR in high school? Delaware students get hands-on gene editing training

The program expands on a National Science Foundation grant in which the Gene Editing Institute partners with Delaware Technical Community College to provide curriculum to educate future research lab workers. It’s believed to be the first time an NSF grant has been used to educate students on a high school level, with the potential to expand to schools across the nation.

The first students to participate are from Wilmington Friends and The Tatnall School, who came with their teachers to the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center at Christiana Care.

Students took the necessary materials back to their school labs, which they will use to manipulate genes in yeast cells, turning them from white to red using CRISPR, a gene-editing tool.

Searching for the Big Picture

Large-scale analysis of images along with the text could soon be possible, thanks to new research led by Hagit Shatkay, an associate professor of computer and information sciences at the University of Delaware. She has received a $1.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to pursue this direction.

This ability could accelerate fundamental, potentially life-saving biomedical research. Researchers often need to examine hundreds and even thousands of published journal articles in short order. Finding the pivotal, evidence-supported information within the publication is a tricky task when essential experimental evidence lies in images and captions that are not automatically searchable by Google or PubMed.
