Improved: Receive my Blog Posts via Email
Thousands of people have been receiving my blog posts via email, but with the recent upsurge of blogging due to my daily creative challenge, many have been unsubscribing since the daily frequency of emails is too much for them.
I understand the desire to reduce the number of emails, so I found a way to let you set the frequency. Now you can receive an email for every 1, 5, or 10 new articles – your choice. So you can drop it down to 3 emails per month if you prefer to receive the 10-article digest version to get the highlights.

PECASE Honoree Michael Boyce on Sugar ’ s Role in Cell Signaling and on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Scientific Workforce

Sugars aren’t merely energy sources for our cells. They also play important signaling roles through a process called glycosylation, where they attach to proteins and lipids as tags. Although these sugar tags, called glycans, impact many cellular processes, they have long been understudied due to technical challenges. Now, advances in analytical tools like mass spectrometry are enabling scientists to examine the enormous complexity of glycans. Other advances also allow researchers to synthesize com...

Stature Progress Update
The new Stature character sculpting course is coming along beautifully during our co-creative phase. I just published the 13th and final lesson of Module 1: Awareness, and I’m about to start on Module 2 next.
At the start of the year, there were only 4 lessons published, and now we have 13 lessons in the Stature member portal. By the time the course is fully completed, there will be dozens more. I aim to continue adding about 5-6 new lessons per week till the full course is done. That pacing feels good to me.
The intention is to create a truly deep, worthwhile, and transformational deep dive experience for peop...

High-Trust Pricing
Many entrepreneurs find pricing decisions for their products and services really challenging. You’ll often hear such people asking each other, “What should I charge?”
I’ve read a number of books about pricing with complex ideas on how to do it correctly. Most involved some form of testing and optimization. They all shared the same underlying assumption though: that the optimal prices are those which extract the most long-term profit. Since that’s extremely difficult to predict, testing is essential.
Testing of that nature can be dreadfully boring though, and you still won’t know if...

Perspectives on Choosing the Best Research Organism for Your Scientific Question
Among the research organisms discussed at the NIGMS workshop last September are (clockwise): Ambystoma mexicanum (axolotl, credit: iStock), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast, credit: see NIGMS Image and Video Gallery), Vibrio fischeri (bobtail squid, credit: Dr. Satoshi Shibata), and Platyhelminthes (planarian, credit: iStock).
Consistent with NIGMS’ mission to support a diverse portfolio of biomedically relevant basic research, we aim to support research that uses a wide range of research organisms (ROs). We see this approach as the best way to increase our understanding of life.
This past fall, we hosted a gro...

Adoptive Families Are Real Families: A Note from a Mom
As a freelance writer, words mean a great deal to me. In fact, I spend my days putting together just the right combination of words to form personal essays and blog posts, which are published regularly at magazines and websites, including psychcentral.com. I also teach the art of writing essays at Kent State University and at Gotham Writers’ Workshop.
This is why my heart broke when Tommy, my teenage adopted son (who happens to be on the spectrum), used a terrible combination of words at his aunt and uncle’s Christmas party this year. He said, “My real mother gave me away because she was too poor to take care of ...

Sculpting Your Character
Obviously you’ve been through a lot of character sculpting already. You started as a baby, and you’ve grown into the person you are today. But much of that sculpting process was done to you, such as by your family upbringing, the culture you were raised in, and the education you received. Up to a certain point, you were sculpted by the world.
How well did the world do its job?
How do you feel about your character’s values, behaviors, habits, identity, lifestyle, and overall place in the world? How pleased are you with your internal state of being? How delighted are you with the results that are currently fl...

Investing in Your Core
Which investments in your education, skills, work, and lifestyle will be most valuable to you in the long run?
A lot is going to change in the next 10 years for you, both personally and professionally. The problem is that you can’t accurately predict what will change and how it will change. This makes it difficult to know where to invest your time, energy, and money today. It’s hard to be sure what will pay off in the long run.
But now consider what isn’t likely to change. What can you say about yourself, the world, and other people that will likely remain essentially the same 10 years from now? Wha...

365-Day Challenges
I shared a version of this post in the Conscious Growth Club forums and on my Facebook profile yesterday. Now I think it’s time to share it with my blog readers too, along with an additional update.
I’m considering a 365-day challenge for 2020 that might be a little crazy – okay, a lot crazy – but could also create tons of extra ripples.
I’m on the fence about doing this but currently am leaning towards it.
The challenge would be to publish a new blog post every day of 2020, so 365 posts for the year. A post could be text, audio, or video. If it’s video then I’ll likely post it to YouTube as well...

Provider Adoption Across Clinical Technology Platforms – Why Is It Sometimes So Difficult?
The following is a guest article by Troy Foster, Senior Manager of Communications Infrastructure. Over the years, I’ve participated in a number of clinical technology rollouts.
