I am an Assistant Professor at Smith College. We study how IDRs help maintain timing while contributing to plasticity and robustness in the circadian clock. She/Her opinions are my own. www.jackiepelhamphd.com
IDPSeminars is BACK for a new season! Six new speakers in April, May, and June! First talk next week! Tell your friends!
go check out this special issue of FEBS Letters, edited by the great @partchlab.bsky.social! I'm very happy that @hollykay1.bsky.social and I could contribute to it, with a perspective on timing systems (not just circadian clocks!) in bacteria at large: febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
FEBS Press
Circadian clocks have been identified in very few bacterial species, and only the cyanobacterial clock is understood in detail. Bacterial rhythms have primarily been studied in species in isolation o...

Happy #WomenInScienceDay 👩🔬🥼 Remember to support women in STEM today & every day!
Science Careers@sciencecareers.bsky.social · 6mo agoThree trouble spots facing women in science—and how we can tackle them Many of the problems we discuss aren't new—in fact, they've been voiced for decades—but that doesn't mean solutions will elude us. #WomenInScienceDay https://bit.ly/4r0OQLU
I am SO incredibly excited to announce the launch of a global list of Inspiring Black Scientists. You can use this list to nominate and connect with researchers. Please share and join us in highlighting these outstanding scientists for #BlackHistoryMonth and beyond! www.wiley.com/en-us/resear...
“We need more women in STEM” advocates for equitable opportunities for women at all levels and fields through systemic action and changing perceptions of scientific careers. Improving gender parity will ultimately benefit both society and the economy. ➡️ febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A big thank you to @washumedicine.bsky.social for featuring our work! I'm grateful for the spotlight and vision behind the fellows program!
WashU Medicine@washumedicine.bsky.social · 10mo ago🔗: medicine.washu.edu/news/washu-m... WashU Medicine’s innovative fellow-to-faculty programs — including RISE, Cori, and Dean’s fellows— are attracting sought-after postdoctoral talent for their unique opportunities, which help accelerate career advancement into professorship.
Last week, Washington University made the perhaps questionable decision to award me tenure.
