The Cell: An Image Library™

CIL: 38930 Decription: Colorized scanning electron micrograph of a human embryonic stem cell (gold) growing on a layer of supporting cells (fibroblasts). Stem cells are derived from very early embryos and can either be grown to stay in their original state or triggered to form almost any type of human cell. The fibroblasts provide special factors that maintain the stem cells in their original state. The stem cell appears to be grasped by the underlying fibroblast.

Call for Applications: 2012 Funding to Support Diversity in Science

These two programs from the ASCB Minorities Affairs Committee (MAC) provide funding to support diversity in science and have just opened for 2012 applications: 

The ASCB MAC Visiting Professors program ($18,200) funds collaborations between ASCB members and underrepresented minorities in the sciences as well as faculty from minority-serving institutions, regardless of ethnicity. 

ASCB MAC Linkage Fellows (up to $10,000/year) facilitate activities that promote careers and research in cell biology at minority-serving institutions. 

Help strengthen diversity in cell biology: Apply for a grant, or encourage others to apply (not limited to ASCB members).

Breaking Science News Live from ASCB!

Read the 2011 ASCB Press Book

See what science journalists see when they are assigned to cover the ASCB Annual Meeting. "Cell Biology 2011" is the Public Information Committee's (PIC) annual media guide to breaking science news. PIC screens all submitted Minisymposia abstracts for its "Novel & Newsworthy" top picks and features them in accurate and accessible stories aimed at reporters. That makes this year’s press book, "Cell Biology 2011," a useful and timely illustration to nonscientists and students of how advances in basic research can impact their lives.
