The overarching objective of the project is to facilitate the attendance, education, participation, and integration of the next generation of researchers into nucleolar biology. The conference is organized by the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB). It was held for the first time in 2017 and will be held for the second time in 2019. This conference series fills a gap in biology meetings because it is the only conference devoted to nucleolar biology in the last 10 years. The conference will introduce early career scientists to an array of leaders and perspectives and will allow early career scientists to share their perspectives, helping them to become the leaders of the future. The meeting size and setting fosters scientific discussion and collegiality, with collaborations emerging as one outcome. The nucleolus is a nuclear organelle of interest to a wide array of scientists who do not normally convene, from those studying the biophysical properties to those trying to understand basic functions in model organisms, to those targeting its activity in cancer and rare developmental syndromes. All of these individuals are united under one roof at this meeting to foster communication. For any field to flourish, it is imperative to support diverse perspectives and build the next generation of leaders, which is the main objective of this proposal.This interdisciplinary conference will focus on a range of topics related to nucleolar biology. These include the stability and diversity of ribosomal DNA sequences, the biophysical properties of the nucleolus, new advances in imaging methods, and the function of the nucleolus in health, stress and disease. The program is designed to facilitate interactions and discussions, with a poster session and shared meals, including a "meet the experts" lunch in which senior leaders are seated with a group of early career scientists for informal conversation about science and career related topics. In addition to ten invited speakers, twenty-four abstracts were chosen for platform presentations of which fourteen are from early career scientists, primarily postdocs, and graduate students. Significant efforts have been made by the organizers for inclusion and diversity. The meeting's organizational framework includes a team of both a senior and early career scientist as co-organizers and session chairs. The conference has a roughly equal split between male and female speakers, and all requests for a platform presentation were accommodated. Promoting international discussions, the program includes speakers from nine countries. Speakers will have the option to write a review article for publication in Biochemical Society Transactions. To promote scientific awareness with the public, the 2019 meeting boasts a STEAM initiative, in which artistic images of nucleoli will be assembled into an art page and made into a banner.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目的总体目的是促进下一代研究人员进入核酸生物学的出勤，教育，参与和整合。 该会议由美国生物化学与分子生物学学会（ASBMB）组织。 它是在2017年首次举行的，将于2019年第二次举行。该会议系列填补了生物学会议的差距，因为它是过去10年中唯一致力于核酸生物学的会议。该会议将向早期的职业科学家介绍一系列领导者和观点，并允许早期职业科学家分享他们的观点，帮助他们成为未来的领导者。会议规模和设定促进了科学讨论和合作，合作成为一个结果。核仁是一个有利益的核细胞器，这些科学家通常不会召集，从研究生物物理特性的人到试图理解模型生物中基本功能的人，到针对癌症活性和罕见发育综合征的人。所有这些人在这次会议上都在一个屋顶下团结起来，以促进交流。对于任何领域蓬勃发展，必须支持各种观点并建立下一代领导者，这是该提案的主要目标。此跨学科会议将重点介绍与核仁生物学有关的一系列主题。这些包括核糖体DNA序列的稳定性和多样性，核仁的生物物理特性，成像方法的新进展以及核仁在健康，压力和疾病中的功能。该计划旨在促进互动和讨论，并进行海报和共享餐点，其中包括“与专家见面”午餐，其中高级领导者与一群早期职业科学家坐在一起，就科学和职业相关的话题进行了非正式的对话。除了十位受邀演讲者外，还选择了二十四个摘要进行平台演示文稿，其中14位来自早期职业科学家，主要是博士后和研究生。组织者为包容和多样性做出了巨大的努力。 会议的组织框架包括一支由高级和早期职业科学家作为共同组织者和会议主席组成的团队。该会议在男性和女性演讲者之间的分歧大致相等，并且满足了平台演示的所有要求。 该计划促进国际讨论，包括来自九个国家的演讲者。 演讲者将可以选择撰写一篇评论文章，以发表生化社会交易。为了促进与公众的科学意识，2019年会议拥有一项蒸汽计划，其中核仁的艺术形象将组装成艺术页面并制作成横幅。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被视为值得通过评估的支持。利用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响审查标准。
