2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

2019 Nobel Prize reflects importance of oxygen...or the lack thereof...as a key vascular regulator
Dateline Stockholm: the
Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2019 has been awarded jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr, Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza for, in the words of the Nobel Committee, "...their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability." The vascular biology community knows the work of these scientists well, as collectively their research has characterized the fundamental molecular mechanisms by which expression of multiple angiogenic agents, notably
VEGF-A, can be regulated by tissue oxygen tension. Although Dr. Semenza has not been a NAVBO member, he spoke at the first Biology of Signaling in the Cardiovascular System Workshop in 2008, presenting a talk titled "Regulation of angiogenesis and arteriogenesis by hypoxia-inducible factor 1." Congratulations to Drs. Kaelin, Ratcliffe, and Semenza...and a tip of the hat to vascular biologists worldwide, many NAVBO members among them, whose research has substantiated the importance of tissue oxygenation status as a vital homeostatic parameter.

Promote Your Presentation on the Web Site
|
Current NAVBO Members Can List Their Upcoming Presentations (Oral or Poster) on our Web Site
Keep members, and all who visit our web site, aware of presentations by NAVBO members. If you are attending the meeting, be sure to attend your NAVBO colleague's presentation. If you are also presenting at that meeting, you can attend each other's presentations and offer mutual support! It can also help make you aware when a colleague is in your town so you reach out and arrange an in-person chat. And finally, this listing can also keep you abreast of other relevant meetings and conferences.
There is a form at the bottom of the page for you to add your presentation.

Re-launch of the Keystone Symposia Fellows Program
This one-year program provides leadership and career-development training to early-career scientists from under-represented and disadvantaged backgrounds, to promote their successful career advancement.
Fellows will develop the necessary skills to pursue leadership and decision-making roles in academic, industry and government sectors through hands-on immersive experience, by working directly with eminent scientists from their Scientific Advisory Board.

Scientific Reports
The impermeability of the luminal endothelial cell monolayer is crucial for the normal performance of the vascular and lymphatic systems. A key to this function is the integrity of the monolayer's intercellular junctions. Read more Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction in a 3D In Vitro Model of Alzheimer's Disease
Advanced Science
Harmful materials in the blood are prevented from entering the healthy brain by a highly selective blood-brain barrier (BBB), and impairment of barrier function has been associated with a variety of neurological diseases.

Input sought on recommendations regarding thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
The International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH)
seeks comment
on draft recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). A rare blood disorder, TTP is associated with a lack of activity in the ADAMTS13 metalloprotease that normally cleaves von Willebrand factor and modulates thrombosis. In TTP, blood clot formation in small blood vessels can both limit blood flow to critical organs and give rise to platelet deficiency. The ISTH welcomes comments from clinicians, researchers, allied health professionals, policy makers, industry representatives, patients, caregivers, and other members of the public.
How to assess the trustworthiness of scientific publications?
Writing in STAT
, National Academy of Sciences President Marcia McNutt and Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania examine the diverse factors that lead readers to accept - or question - the trustworthiness of published scientific findings. They note that "Most of us rely on vetted experts, brand names, seals of approval, and other signals of trust to help us decide on matters ranging from how to treat a dental abscess to which automobile is most fuel efficient. The resources needed to distinguish trustworthy scientific findings from those that are biased, irreproducible, or even fabricated are more elusive." McNutt and Jamieson build a case for the use of
badges
, a form of "microcredentialing," to provide an objective measure of the degree of trustworthiness a particular published study might warrant.
NSF charts academic intellectual property activity across the US
As those of us who work in academic institutions have likely experienced, universities and their associated research-intensive units are increasingly viewed as drivers of economic growth. Success at the creation of patentable new products, processes, and services that originate in the academy partly reflects the resources devoted to institutional patenting offices. The National Science Foundation
tracks indicators
that relate the number of academic-owned utility patents to the size of the doctoral science and engineering workforce in academia. How does your state stack up?

Partner Network Advantage on the NAVBO Job Board
|
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.
