Take steps to improve bone health! We can't wait to see all of your #whitesneakers on Saturday, 06 Sept, at #ASBMR2025! Even if you can't be in person with us in Seattle for the @asbmr.bsky.social annual meeting this year, share your pics and get ready to join the MOVEment! 🦴💪

The next @faseborg.bsky.social Advocacy Town Hall meeting is on Tuesday, September 2 at 12:00 EST. As Congress returns to Washington to reach an agreement on keeping the government funded, it's an especially crucial time to hear from FASEB members and the broader research community.

I’m ready. Let’s go.

The @asbmr.bsky.social Annual Meeting is less than 2 weeks away, and we're all lacing up our #whitesneakers to get ready! Wanna join the MOVEment and Take Steps to Improve Bone Health? Be sure to pack your white sneakers for #ASBMR2025 in Seattle, wear them on 06 Sept, and stay tuned for more!

@joyywu.bsky.social has a simple but powerful message for early-career investigators: choose your mentor not your project. "So often we think about selecting research projects based on a topic or field of interest, but great mentorship is priceless and lasts a lifetime.”

We're 2 weeks away from #ASBMR2025! It's not too late to make plans to attend the world's largest and most diverse meeting in the bone, mineral, and #MSK research field. meeting.asbmr.org

2025 Shirley Hohl Service Award recipient Cheryl Ackert-Bicknell, Ph.D. has a message for early-career investigators: "You never get too old or too advanced in your career to have a mentor. Some of the most important mentors you may have may be the people that came into your life by accident."

"Being a scientist is not easy but it is an amazing job. With the new technology available there are so many questions you can answer, so much you can accomplish and contribute. Keep the dream."

Congratulations Sylvia Christakos, Ph.D.!

"Facing the opportunity to evolve toward the interaction between bone and hematopoiesis was tantalizing and yet scary are the same time. Thankfully, I followed my passion."

Congratulations, Stavroula Kousteni, Ph.D.!

"It's only thanks to [collaborators], too many to name, and to the fearless and brilliant trainees in my lab, that we’ve been able to do the science I love: to identify an interesting question, and then to chase it by whatever methods necessary."

Congratulations, @jboerckel.bsky.social!

Congratulations Joel!

Michel McClung, M.D.'s advice for early-career investigators: "Don’t be afraid to follow unforeseen opportunities that seem interesting, even when that course seems risky. Find and work with collaborators who share your interests, including those with different skills or expertise that your own."
