Unlock Your Superpower: How Looking for Four-Leaf Clovers Can Reveal the Potential of Non-Coding RNA

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Dr. Glen Borchert from the University of South Alabama. Dr. Borchert shares his journey of growing up in a small town and finding his place in the world of research. Dr. Borchert also shares his approach to research, which involves searching for what doesn't fit the established framework of understanding in a particular field and studying the unexamined. He discusses his interest in non-coding RNA and how this area of study has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of gene regulation. Furthermore, Dr. Borchert emphasizes the need for antiviral development to prepare us for the next pandemic and shares insights on how his research can contribute to this effort. Tune in to gain inspiration and insight into the world of research and academia, and to learn about the potential of non-coding RNA in preparing for future pandemics. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj8srnFCSo8&list=PLVFmEa7novObS_dZNrMaG-hGjsGFxJMsR&index=6&t=2257s " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Learn more⁠</a>: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj8srnFCSo8&list=PLVFmEa7novObS_dZNrMaG-hGjsGFxJMsR&index=6&t=2257s Glen Borchert is an Assistant Professor in Biology and Pharmacology at the University of South Alabama. He originally received a B.S. in Biology from the University of Tennessee and then completed a Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Iowa. Dr. Borchert’s research focuses largely on identifying novel genetic regulators and defining their roles in oncogenesis, microbiology, and speciation. Since starting his laboratory at South Alabama in August 2012, Dr. Borchert has published dozens of papers in peer-reviewed journals and had numerous grant applications funded including a highly prestigious NSF CAREER award (2014-2019). <a href="https://www.southalabama.edu/biology/borchertlab/index.html">Learn more</a>: https://www.southalabama.edu/biology/borchertlab/index.html

Microbial Muses: Finding Inspiration for Student Reading and Research through Microbiology

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Dr. Davida Smyth from Texas A&M, San Antonio, who shares her journey as a first-generation university student from Ireland to the United States. Dr. Smyth talks about how getting to see bodily fluids in the clinical lab inspired her to pursue a career in science. She also stresses the importance of taking advantage of opportunities, approaching your professors, building classes around students' needs, and making science relevant. Tune in to hear Dr. Smyth's story and gain insight into how you can navigate your own path in the world of academia...or not. It’s up to you. Davida Smyth is an Associate Professor in the Department of Life Sciences at Texas A&M, San Antonio. She developed several new courses that involve undergraduates in research and incorporate civic engagement and social justice into the curriculum. She is devoted to undergraduate research and her students have presented their work at several national and international meetings. With her undergraduate team, she researches the <a href="http://davidasmyth.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">role of the built environment</a> and anthropogenic activity in driving antibiotic resistance, a major global health threat. She also engages in pedagogical research on improving <a href="http://readingeffectively.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">civic and scientific literacy</a> in biology and integrating authentic research into the curriculum to improve student engagement and success in science. Dr. Smyth also guides and mentors future faculty and adjuncts to successfully apply for academic positions in teaching and beyond. Since 2014, she has been involved with <a href="http://sencer.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">SENCER</a> (Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities) and was appointed a SENCER Senior Leadership Fellow in 2018. <a href="https://apps.tamusa.edu/course-information/Profile/Faculty/583?=Davida-Smyth" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Learn more</a>: https://apps.tamusa.edu/course-information/Profile/Faculty/583?=Davida-Smyth
