Careers in Science Writing
Dr. Nicole Ramocki received her PhD from the
UNC Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology
under the direction of Dr. Kay Lund. Nicole accepted a position as a medical writer after she defended her PhD thesis and has since had 3 science writing positions. Her current employer is
seeking science writers who recently graduated or
will soon graduate with their PhD in a biomedical
field. Nicole will share her experiences in the career field of science
writing and her knowledge about the various types of careers and how
to land a job in this career.

Pioneering Postdoc
Programs
Your postdoctoral training period is the
ideal time to hone your skills and get
needed experience that will make you the
perfect candidate for the career of your
choice.
Where on Campus is That??
If you’re one of the first ten PhD students to correctly
identify the location of this picture on UNC campus
you’ll get a free king size candy bar! Email your guesses
to [email protected]. Good luck!
There are many unique postdoc programs
that train fellows in a variety of indemand skills and these training opportunities are often shorter and more structured than the traditional academic postdoc. They teach a specific skill set and
can be a fast track to a “real job” afterwards.
Each month in the TIBBS Times we’ll
highlight a different fellowship opportunity. This month’s spotlight is on Genentech’s prestigious industry postdoc program.
Click here for past contest photos and a list of winners
Genentech Industry Postdoctoral Program
Genentech’s Postdoctoral Program has become one of the highest regarded (and most
selective) industry postdoc programs in the world. As a Genentech Postdoctoral Research Fellow working in either Research or Development Sciences, you would find
yourself collaborating with world-class scientists both at the company and beyond
Genentech's walls. The fellowships typically last four years and offer the chance to do
cutting-edge research in an inspired, purposeful, and resource-rich environment. The
program offers an unrivaled opportunity to put yourself at the forefront of science.

Dr. Stephen Frye, Director of the CICBDD, will be discussing the goals and ongoing efforts of the
CICBDD and the ways that these efforts are helping to position UNC to complete the cycle from basic
scientific research through translational drug discovery to clinical studies. Dr. Frye received his B.S. in
chemistry from NC State and then his Ph.D. in organic chemistry at UNC before beginning his career at
GSK as a medicinal chemist. In 2000, Dr. Frye was selected to lead GSK’s High Throughput Chemistry
Group that evolved into Discovery Medicinal Chemistry.
Dr. Jian Jin, Associate Director of the CICBDD, will also be present to discuss his ‘open source’ approach to discovery of chemical probes for epigenetic targets. Prior to joining the CICBDD in 2008, Dr.
Jin had more than 10 years of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery experience at GSK, where he
most recently served as a Manager of Medicinal Chemistry from 2003 to 2008. Dr. Jin is currently using
his expertise in medicinal chemistry to further collaborative projects with other UNC faculty that have
discovered novel therapeutic targets. Parking Information: http://otd.unc.edu/

September 1st
Leading Effective Discussion
In order for discussions to be an efficient use of class time, they must be conducted with clear goals and a
solid plan for achieving those goals. Effective discussions can increase students’ retention skills, help students connect class concepts with previous experiences or with global issues, and enable students to
achieve higher-order learning objectives. Participants in this workshop will explore the design of effective
discussions, including increasing student participation, posing questions of increasing complexity, and using
reflection to promote deeper exploration into the topics being discussed. Held in 318 Wilson Library (CFE
Conference Room) from 12pm – 1pm. To register: http://www.abcsignup.com/reg/event_page.aspx?

FIFTH RTP RODENT PATHOLOGY COURSE
This is the 5th state-of-the-art biennial course that will focus on fundamental and emerging issues of rodent
hepatobiliary pathology. The first four courses were a raging success: Reproductive Pathology (2002), Neuropathology (2004), Cardiopulmonary Pathology (2006) and Immunopathology (2008) each with about 150
attendees. The course is designed to provide useful information on current issues and techniques in rodent
pathology to research and diagnostic pathologists, pathologists-in-training, and interested members of the
research community. (continued on next page)
The course this year features ~20 presentations covering state-of-the-art rodent hepatobiliary system pathology and research as well as an interactive case presentation workshop led by Dr. Jerrold Ward.

Jill McCorkle reads from the paperback release of her short story collection GOING AWAY SHOES—78pm
Jill McCorkle, one of Flyleaf’s favorite authors and a master of the short story whose work has been
compared to that of Alice Munro and Lorrie Moore, is a writer whose characters insist on our immediate and total attention. Here, in her first collection in eight years, are eleven new stories bristling
with her signature wit and weight. One way or the other, all of these stories are about women looking love in the face without flinching. Some of them are confronting the reality of domestic disruption, others are simply flirting with the possibilities—and dangers—of change. McCorkle's characters
make mistakes but aren't interested in hiding behind them. They get divorced or quit their jobs or
tell people to step aside, and they move on.
