Dr. Dove gives keynote at the V.M. Goldschmidt Conference in Lyon, France

Jan 31, 2024
1 min read

In July 2023,  Dr. Trish Dove gave a keynote presentation to a standing-room audience on Tuesday morning at the session, “Mechanistic links between (bio)mineral formation, environmental conditions, and proxy systems.”  The talk highlighted our new research into polysaccharides and recent work by Brenna Knight that shows how advances in biopolymer synthesis can be applied to ask hypothesis-based questions that advance our understanding of biological mineralization.  The title of the keynote:

 

Chitosan as a canvas for studies of macromolecular controls on CaCO3 biomineralization

with co-authors Brenna M. Knight, Kevin J. Edgar, and James J. De Yoreo. 

 

There were plenty of other activities at the conference at this quite large post-covid Goldschmidt meeting.  It was also quite hot during our time in Lyon!



Dr. Dove also participated in the mentoring program for the graduate students where she met with students from China and Israel.



Dr. Nancy Ross and Dr. Dove (with many others) also celebrated the 80th birthday of Distinguished Professor and our long-time mentor, Dr. Alexandra Navrotsky (center) from Arizona State University

Could food leftovers be the reason cockroaches keep returning to the kitchen?

كنت أعتقد أن كمية الطعام المتروكة في المطبخ يجب أن تكون كبيرة حتى تجذب الصراصير، لكن اكتشفت أن حتى الفتات الصغير وتراكم الدهون خلف الأجهزة يمكن أن يكون مزعجًا، خصوصًا إذا بقيت المنطقة رطبة. بدأت أحرص على تنظيف أسطح العمل وإغلاق أكياس الطعام وإخراج القمامة بانتظام، لكن الصراصير استمرت في الظهور أحيانًا. لذلك أصبح واضحًا لي أن النظافة تساعد، لكنها ليست دائمًا كافية وحدها، وعند تكرار الإصابة يمكن التفكير في مكافحة الصراصير بالدمام مع البحث عن أماكن الاختباء ومداخل الحشرات.

المثير أنني وجدت صراصير صغيرة خلف الثلاجة، بينما لم أكن أرى شيئًا في وسط المطبخ. هذا جعلني أفحص أسفل الخزائن وحول المواسير ومناطق الصرف، لأن المشكلة قد تكون مرتبطة…

Great insights into Dr. Dove’s keynote and the fascinating research on biomineralization. It’s inspiring to see scientific collaboration and mentoring highlighted alongside such important research. Free sympathy cards online can also be a thoughtful way to share support and caring messages during difficult moments.

Congratulations on this outstanding achievement. It's always inspiring to see researchers sharing their work on an international stage and contributing to scientific progress. Milestones like these deserve recognition, whether in academia or the workplace. Just as teams celebrate achievements with funny goodbye cards or farewell cards for coworkers when colleagues move on to new opportunities, it's equally important to acknowledge accomplishments that inspire future generations. Wishing Dr. Dove and the entire team continued success in their research.
