Keeping up with a fast-paced lecture on a subject you’re encountering for the first time can be intimidating. “Students often initially struggle with approaching practice problems for this material, even after hearing a lecture on the subject,” Rachel Cliburn Branco writes in a new piece for the Notre Dame Learning website about her introductory Molecular Neuroscience course. An associate teaching professor in the University of Notre Dame - College of Science's Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Rachel has been working with our Office of Digital Learning (ODL) to produce video lectures for her students to watch in advance of class. “By shifting the lecture to a video format, we will have the class time to do guided practice problems together, modeling the new ways of thinking represented by this academic field,” she says. To read Rachel’s full piece and learn more about the ODL’s Digital Learning Sprints program that made the project possible, go to https://lnkd.in/gnqdbuKv

“It’s important to understand what’s happening at a molecular level during a memory update because, as humans, most of our memories are updates. We’re constantly building on things we already know and modifying existing memories,” said Janine Kwapis, assistant professor of biology and senior author of the paper. “But no one has really looked to see if the mechanisms behind memory formation and memory updating are identical or if they are unique for memory updating. This is a step forward in figuring that out.” Interesting in learning more about memory problems in old age and a link to a key enzyme? Check out the full article at Penn State University news: https://lnkd.in/eW8yD9S2 Other Penn State authors on the paper include Chad Smies, a doctoral student in biology and first author of the paper; Lauren Bellfy, doctoral student in the?molecular, cellular and integrative biosciences, and Chad Brunswick, doctoral student in the neuroscience program. Destiny Wright and Sofia Bennetts, who were undergraduate students at Penn State during the time of the research; Mark Urban, a postdoctoral scholar at Penn State during the time of the research; and Guanhua Shu, who was a graduate student at Harvard University at the time of the research, also contributed to the paper.

Amidst a recent conflict of perspective, that I faced preceding the cognitive function of decision making regarding the ways of life I should opt for, between just focusing upon my pursuit of knowledge or working towards my financial goals, I realised that, one of the path makes me feel much more empowered and centered and the other promises me the idea of freedom of choice at some point in future, respectively. I was in a hoax, as for the first one, I have to make sacrifices upon my desires for material wants, in the present moment and for the second one, I have to undermine the flow in acquisition of knowledege (due to temporal contraints). Though eventually I came to a conclusionary realisation and this post resonates very well with it. The pursuit of excellence requires isolation of the creative and passionate self from the fanatic race of fame and monetary gains. The idea of so called freedom of choice, promises us, with happiness in a temporal post text whereas berefts us from experiencing the magical essence of flow in doing the things we are truely capable of attaing state of flow in the present context (via mastery over the context, tools of play, creation and application of the resultant creation to solve problems). Our null correlations of pursuit of knowledge with notions of fame and money, deprives us of what we already have in the process of pursuit: Salvation from the need to allocate meaning to our existence which eventually renders the canvas for creation to understand itself better by creating and destroying itself (Learning, unlearning, relearning). All just for the sake of experiencing the experience itself. This seems more like freedom than the dissatisfaction that the freedom of material choices provide by playing bets on our expected happiness sometime in future. What do you think about it? Am open for contrary opinions as well as conversations? After all, all our contraries makes up the whole! #learning #unlearning #realearning #success #science #Behavioraleconomics #Philosophy #Psychology #Knowledge #money #fame #Happiness #NobelPrize
This Nobel Laureate did a second master's after his PhD & was unemployed : ????. ?????????? ???????????????????????? did his Ph.D. in Physics at Ohio University. For his quest for biology, he spent two years studying biology as a graduate student at the?University of California, San Diego, transitioning from theoretical physics to biology. And to his surprise, he could not find a faculty position after his post-doctoral training even though he had applied to more than 50 universities in the US. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2009, for determining the atomic structure of the 30S ribosomal subunit followed by structures of the entire ribosome in many different states and complexes with several antibiotics. This work has advanced our understanding of how the ribosome works and how antibiotics inhibit it. In the past he has also worked on histone and chromatin structure, which help us to understand how DNA is organized in cells. His book GENE MACHINE, about his struggle to detect the structure of RIBOSOME, is worth reading. He is an inspiration to thousands of researchers across world.

Two inspiring pieces about science communication have been published in the latest issues of Science and Nature Neuroscience. "We need better and more PopSci by scientists" (Science) https://lnkd.in/eP-JHse6 Highlights the problem and emphasizes that popular science should be a cornerstone of research societies and academic training. "A guide to science communication training for doctoral students" (Nature Neuroscience) https://lnkd.in/ekQdXtcs Provides some concrete suggestions to include science communication into a PhD training. Public engagement of researchers should be encouraged and rewarded as a part of professional evaluation. Students and early-career scientists need to acquire science communication skills not only to deliver their research to the society, taxpayers and stakeholders, but also because they will help them to build their careers outside the academia.

Temple University Alumna - B.S in Neuroscience | BRIDGE ‘23 Scholar | Aspiring Physician Assistant
In my previous post, I mentioned that I took multiple writing-intensive classes in a single semester. During this past Spring 2024 semester at Temple, I was enrolled in Conducting Neuroscience Research (CNR) and Capstone in Neuroscience (CAP), both with the outstanding professor, Dr. Mansi Shah. In addition to the fact that both courses were reading and writing intensive, CNR is the prerequisite for CAP, further contributing to the challenge of balancing both courses along with other courses. The guidance of Dr. Mansi Shah not only helped me pass both courses but also excel in each course, ending the semester with 95% in both classes! I'd like to use this platform to share my final research paper in CNR - The Impact of Reduced GABA on Auditory Hypersensitivity in Autism - as it relates to the research I aspire to conduct in my professional career. ?? ? Big Picture: A decreased GABA concentration in the left perisylvian cortex is thought to contribute to auditory hypersensitivity in those with autism.
