Dear M&I,
First, I want to say a huge thank you to all who participated in PIBS recruiting. I think we really shined! It was great to get our community back together in person for recruiting! Second, thanks to those of you who attended Dr. Shapira’s seminar - please fill out the feedback form from Sheryl to let us know what you think about pursuing him for a M&I appointment.
Moving forward, we have visits from two virology candidates coming right up. Dr Mandy Muller will be giving seminar on Tuesday, Feb. 14th at 9 AM in West Lecture Hall. Dr. Mandy Muller - Faculty chalk talk 2/15 9am 2813/17 MS II. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/e570nmvb

We will be remembering the contributions of Dr. Fuller to our department on February 18th, but if you would like for the department to highlight the work you are doing to make history now, please do reach out to Elisabeth. We would love to highlight you!
Finally, just a huge kudos to two trainees on their first author papers. Do check out the lovely work from Mack Reynolds in Science Advances and Eli Olson in Elife that both came out this week. Huge congratulations to both of you and your mentors!

All faculty at the associate level and beyond are invited to join the annual APEX Mid-Career Faculty Symposium, a day dedicated to your development. As an integral part of the APEX (Advancing Professional Excellence) Program, the goal of this annual symposium is to leverage the knowledge and wisdom of our senior faculty and to help mid-career faculty reflect upon, and engage in, best practices to reach mastery level in their fields.
This year we have two keynote speakers. Ross School of Business Professor Emeritus and author, Kim Cameron, Ph.D. will present on positively energizing leadership. We will also be joined by Madelyn Yucht, founder and CEO of Summit Executive Advisory Group, who will be speaking about mastering conflict and the language of influence.

From Dr. Kunkel: Research Scouts is an agile, low-burden funding program which gives money to scientists (the “Scouts”) to invest in other scientists' bold ideas. It’s an investment in the “Bold Science” objective of Michigan Medicine’s research strategic plan, “ Great Minds, Greater Discoveries,” and is modeled on the Hypothesis Fund. |
