ENIGMA Young Investigator Prize
|
The "Verein für wissenschaftliche Fachtagungen in der Biomedizin" (VWFB) wants to encourage young scientists to develop bold ideas and hypotheses in emerging fields of contemporary life science research and to discuss such ideas with a small and dedicated group of scientists.Therefore, the (VWFB) has announced the 15.000€ ENIGMA Young Investigator Prize (ENIGMA YIP) to enable a junior scientist to host a small, closed and informal think-tank meeting on a topic of his/her choice.
Details of the prize are outlined in this pdf and on VWFB's website (
www.vwfb.de).
The deadline for submission of applications is June 20, 2018.
Please alert your colleagues and your most promising junior scientists of this unique opportunity.

published recently in The Wall Street Journal. Lublin, by now a veteran editor for the WSJ, has some hard-earned pointers on negotiating numerous workplace issues, including unbridled gender bias and unevenly applied corporate policies. Although Lublin has pursued a profession somewhat afield from medical research, there is an abundance of wisdom in her reflections that is well worth the attention of eager trainees approaching their first independent positions.
Applications solicited for Science and SciLifeLab's Prize for Young Scientists
For the sixth year, Science/AAAS and SciLifeLab, a coordinated effort of four universities, have joined forces to recognize outstanding recent doctoral graduates in the life sciences (Ph.D. awarded between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2017). This award, intended to provide encouragement to young scientists beginning their scientific careers, includes a grand prize of $30,000, as well as $10,000 to winners in each of three other subject categories (Cell and Molecular Biology; Genomics and Proteomics; Ecology and Environment; Translational Medicine). Applications are due July 15, 2018. Winners will have their essays prominently published and will be honored in Stockholm, Sweden, in December of this year.

| Prolonged activation of cAMP signaling leads to endothelial barrier disruption via transcriptional repression of RRAS
FASEB Journal
The increase in cAMP levels in endothelial cells triggers cellular signaling to alter vascular permeability. It is generally considered that cAMP signaling stabilizes the endothelial barrier function and reduces permeability. Read more |

Task force calls for increased inclusion of pregnant and lactating women in clinical studies A task force, charged by the US Department of Health and Human Services with identifying gaps in research on pregnant or lactating women, has finalized its work, calling for increased inclusion and integration of women from these groups into clinical trials. As reported by MedPage Today, the study collective, named PRGLAC (Research Specific to Pregnant Women and Lactating Women), approved 15 recommendations, including the removal of pregnant women as a vulnerable population in the common rule, and the inclusion of pregnant women and lactating women to capture and report maternal, obstetric, and neonatal outcomes, including pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia. Panelists from multiple government agencies (NIH, NICHD, FDA, and the National Vaccine Program Office) as well as members of industry and various professional organizations participated on the task force's efforts.
Annoyance in response to noise linked to dangerous cardiovascular ourcomes
A
new report published in the International Journal of Cardiology explores the relationship between environmental noise and the genesis of cardiac arrhythmias. Already studied in vascular disease, the new findings link responses to experiencing extreme aural stimulation (e.g., noise from aircraft, road, rail, and one's neighborhood) to increased incidence of atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation, the most common type of arrhythmia, can lead to thrombosis, stroke, and heart failure. Nearly three million Americans are affected by atrial fibrillation. Noise annoyance, defined as noise-provoked responses such as anger, sleep disruption and subsequent exhaustion, and stress. Study participants distinguished between noise annoyances during the day and at night and recorded their responses using standardized questionnaires. Mechanisms connecting the noise annoyance responses and cardiac dysfunction remain to be defined.
