SUMMARY:Bluesky Training for Academics
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a practical\, beginner-friendly workshop on how academics can use Bluesky to share research\, build a public profile\, and connect with scholarly and professional communities. We’ll cover everything from account setup and posting basics to best practices for engagement\, visibility\, and credibility. Participants will also learn strategies for promoting publications\, events\, teaching\, and public scholarship in a way that feels authentic and manageable. This training will be held live on Zoom and includes time for questions.

SUMMARY:Spring '26 Biochem Seminar: Christine Mayr
DESCRIPTION:Structure\, Dynamics and Assembly of Human Antimicrobial Protein \nMore than 2\,700 human mRNA 3′UTRs have hundreds of highly conserved (HC) nucleotides\, but their biological roles are unclear. A large fraction of mRNAs with highly conserved 3′UTRs\nencodes proteins with long intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). For the tested candidates\, we observed that these proteins are only fully active when translated from mRNA templates that include their 3′UTRs\, raising the possibility of functional interactions between 3′UTRs and IDRs. Rather than affecting protein abundance or localization\, we find that highly conserved 3′UTRs directly control protein activity through protein folding of IDR-containing proteins. Presence of the 3′UTR is required to prevent interference of hydrophobic clusters in the IDR with the folding of the structured domains of the mRNA-encoded protein. In addition to folding of individual proteins\, we also observed that for some transcription factors 3′UTR-3′UTR interactions determine the co-folding of the mRNA-encoded proteins\, thus generating stable heterodimers. Taken together\, our work indicates that highly conserved 3′UTRs regulate protein activity in an abundance-independent manner\, by controlling different co-translational protein folding pathways. \nPlease use this link to access Zoom.

SUMMARY:LinkedIn Training for Academics
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a practical\, beginner-friendly workshop on how academics can use LinkedIn to showcase their expertise\, expand professional networks\, and increase the visibility of their research and teaching. This session will cover optimizing profiles for academic and public-facing work\, understanding how the platform’s algorithm works\, and crafting posts that highlight publications\, projects\, events\, and career milestones without feeling self-promotional. Participants will also learn strategies for engaging with scholarly\, nonprofit\, and industry communities; building credibility over time; and using LinkedIn in ways that support public scholarship\, career development\, and institutional visibility. The training will be held live on Zoom and includes time for questions and real-world examples. \nRegister to attend at https://bit.ly/4pD08nK
