BCM SMART Program

The SMART summer undergraduate research training program in the Graduate School @BCMHouston provides valuable experiences for undergraduate students.

[BCM SMART Program @BCM_SMART]

90 undergrads from around the US joined us this summer for 9-weeks of research and learning. Thank you to the students, mentors, and staff who contribute to this life-changing program! The application portal for the 32nd summer of SMART @BCMhouston opens in October 2019.

Curious about our @BCM_SMART Program? We asked a former student to talk about his experience. https://t.co/oRGfjbVmSw #SMARTProgram #Education

So, I get back to Iowa and the @NIDDKgov has sent me and awarded me a Basic Science Research Award! It is titled in recognition of an exemplary research presentation at the NMRI Midwest Regional Workshop. @IntMedatIowa #ScienceTwitter #NewYear2020

Outstanding work. Congratulations

[Tal Laviv @LavivTal]

Excited to finally share our work! Out online: https://t.co/xoXcd9BeXc. We wanted to understand the interaction between neuronal activity and biochemical signaling in vivo. We made new CREB sensors that allowed us to track CREB activity in vivo at single cell resolution.

Wrote a quick #imageJ script to split time lapse movies into high and low speed portions. Here it is on a timelapse of the #zebrafish heart. (~36hpf, Nikon Ti2 63x DIC)

A study published in Nature shows that drug resistance in the malaria parasite is linked to a specific protein and illustrates how mutations in the protein allow the parasite to expel the drug. https://t.co/PG8GjBIxrY

Faculty, next time you ask a student or postdoc “how is your research going?” try following up with “and how are *you* doing?”

Showing that we care about people does not mean that we care any less about research, and it can make a big difference in someone’s day.

Disturbances along the brain-gut-microbiota axis may contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. In this review scientists summarize what we've learnt about the role of the gut microbiota as a potential key player in the AD pathology https://t.co/tPfMT1LoBB

Overheard undergrads say to each other, “This conference changed my life and guys, we will be colleagues in the future!” Thank you @ABRCMS for bringing positivity, mentorship, and enthusiasm for the #futureofSTEM. Hope to be more involved in the future.
