Partner Network Advantage - New Job Board Feature
|
Why post your job on NAVBO's career center rather than going directly to the larger job networks?
Pricing on the mass job boards can vary, but to get a job noticed you typically have to sponsor it for $5 - $10 per day, which can add up quickly especially since you also pay for each click the job gets. When you add it all together, you could be spending up to $45 per day on your job posting. But, when posting a job on NAVBO's career center, you simply pay a flat fee! The Premium package includes our Exclusive Extended Partner Network - which means the jobs are broadcast to sites like ZipRecruiter and Jobs2Careers and more for a flat fee.
With special member pricing, you can post a job for as low as $300 with this Partner Network. You never pay for each click, just the flat fee on the NAVBO career center. In addition, the Premium package includes a 60-day job posting making it a great value. The Premium packages also offer features like having your company's logo featured on the career center homepage, having your job appear first in search results, and more.

Consider being a Mentor for a Vasculata Attendee
This year's Vasculata will feature an exciting, new mentoring program. Attendees at Vasculata will receive the added benefit of connecting with a new mentor. This will be strictly online and mentors need not attend Vasculata. Once a trainee has registered for Vasculata, they will receive access to the mentor database. This will extend the educational benefits of Vasculata far beyond July 2019!
We are currently looking for volunteers.

Help Celebrate 25 Years of NAVBO!
Then and Now
- share your story through photos, videos or simply through words.
See our current submissions of then and now.
To the right are Michelle Bendeck and Zorina Galis at NAVBO's first annual meeting at Experimental Biology in Anaheim in 1994.
We'd also love to see some of the developments in science and advances in vascular biology over the past 25 years, so please consider submitting samples of the old versus new in techniques, equipment, etc.
Join our Fun Fundraiser: Wish NAVBO Happy Anniversary in the upcoming Summer Newsletter!
Buy a half-page ($75) or quarter-page ad ($45) in the Newsletter to send a special message to your fellow NAVBO members! Include a photo of your lab members, a cool image (or a bunch of cool images) or just your smiling face - get creative with fonts and graphics and show your artistic side! Your ad dollars will be used to support current and future initiatives such as our webinars, travel awards, mentoring, online resources, outreach programs, as well as improvements in our service to you. If interested, contact
bernadette@navbo.org.
Special Anniversary Discount Package to Vascular Biology 2019
We encourage our members to bring as many of their lab members as possible to the annual meeting. To help you do this we are offering a special discount to NAVBO regular members who bring three or more trainee members to the meeting. The third, fourth, etc. trainee from your lab can attend at 50% off the trainee member fee
(that's a $205 savings). There is a
special link to this package registration and all in the group must be NAVBO members. The PI is required to register first and then add the trainees to the same order. Be sure your trainees have
joined NAVBO!

Spotlight on Trainees
(from the April 4 issue)
|
A creative cure for poster session woes?
Youtuber and industrial-organizational psychologist Mike Morrison has released an animated account of his ideas on "How to create a better research poster in less time," which has garnered over 80,000 views and even a shout-out in Nature Briefing in its first ten days online. Irrespective of one's opinion of Mike's thoughts on how to efficiently display and absorb a poster's main message, trainees-nay, all scientists-will appreciate his spot-on depiction of the agonies associated with presenting a poster to indifferent conference attendees or frantically cruising the corkboard canyons to find the good stuff. As is often the case with ideas subjected to the scrutiny of social media, the comments accumulating under Mike's video, covering the full spectrum of reactions, are at least as enlightening as the video itself.

Summer Training for Junior Faculty
|
Programs to Increase Diversity Among Individuals Engaged in Health-Related Research
The NHLBI PRIDE Program is offering nine unique Summer Institute programs with intensive mentored training opportunities to enhance the research skills and to promote the scientific and career development of trainees. Trainees will learn effective strategies for preparing, submitting and obtaining external funding for research purposes, including extensive tips on best practices. Trainees will also be able to apply for small grants to support mentored-pilot research projects. Research emphasis varies by program.
Eligible applicants are junior-level faculty or transitioning postdoctoral scientists with background deemed under-represented in the biomedical or health sciences. Research interests should be compatible with those of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) in the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders.
Apply early - there are a limited number of positions and admission will close when spaces are filled.

| Tuning the Thrombo-inflammatory Response to Venous Flow Interruption by the Ectonucleotidase CD39
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology
Leukocyte flux contributes to thrombus formation in deep veins under pathological conditions, but mechanisms that inhibit venous thrombosis are incompletely understood. Ectonucleotide di(tri)phosphohydrolase 1 (ENTPD1 or Cd39), an ectoenzyme that catabolizes extracellular adenine nucleotides, is embedded on the surface of endothelial cells and leukocytes. Read more Genetic compensation triggered by mutant mRNA degradation
Nature
Genetic robustness, or the ability of an organism to maintain fitness in the presence of harmful mutations, can be achieved via protein feedback loops. Previous work has suggested that organisms may also respond to mutations by transcriptional adaptation, a process by which related gene(s) are upregulated independently of protein feedback loops. Read more Disrupted inflammasome activation by CD39 in venous thrombosis
Journal of Clinical Investigation
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), caused by alterations in venous homeostasis is the third most common cause of cardiovascular mortality; however, key molecular determinants in venous thrombosis have not been fully elucidated. Read more Innate Immune Cells' Contribution to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Frontiers in Immunology
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies against nuclear antigens, immune complex deposition, and tissue damage in the kidneys, skin, heart and lung. Read more Canagliflozin Inhibits Human Endothelial Cell Proliferation and Tube Formation
Frontiers in Pharmacology
Recent clinical trials revealed that sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors significantly reduce cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetic patients, however, canagliflozin increased limb amputations, an effect not seen with other SGLT2 inhibitors. Read more |

Upcoming conference on research integrity in the academy
Northwestern University, the Council of Graduate Schools, and the Office of Research Integrity of the US Department of Health and Human Services have announced a conference, "The Role of Research Integrity in Promoting Excellence: Tools for College and University Leaders," to be held May 22-23, 2019, in Chicago. The conference will challenge participating institutions to question the strength of their culture of academic and research integrity. Sessions will provide information and examples of how to assess institutional climate around issues of academic and research integrity and how to respond to the potential risks that may be identified. The conference will feature as speakers graduate deans and vice presidents for research who are experts in building a culture of integrity.
Information sought on heart failure classifications and phenotyping
The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute has released a
Request for Information inviting comments and suggestions on the potential development of a Challenge Prize for Heart Failure Phenotyping. Feedback is solicited on scientific gaps, unmet medical needs, and future prospects in heart failure classification or subphenotyping schemes, as well as the feasibility of initiating a challenge prize competition to reward advances in heart failure classification systems. Responses are sought from stakeholders throughout the scientific research community and the general public and must be submitted electronically to the
RFI webpage by May 15, 2019.
