Flew halfway around the world and bumped into Prince’s hot chicken royalty, fellow UIUC alum, and RNA classic biochem junkie. Best wishes to @Cheers2LO as you prepare for the next step in your career #HannaGrayFellows @VUBasicSciences @VandyBiochem @UniversityofIl @HHMINEWS
Congrats to newest @VandyBiochem Asst Professor @SezenMeydan for receiving the 2023 RNA Society/CSHL Award for Research Excellence by an Underrepresented Scientist @VUBasicSciences

Winding down a whirlwind week in Singapore.
We had the best time talking science and meeting new and old friends at #RNA23. @AscanoLab @RNASociety @VandyBiochem
Awesome talk on small molecule targeting of disease relevant RNAs by Amanda Hargrove @hargrovelab #RNA23 @RNASociety
Winding down another great day at #RNA23 🇸🇬, with @samlisy_ and colleagues. Singapore slings! @RNA_biologist @HoggLab @NRGuydosh @RNASociety
Awesome talk by @samlisy_ about her work on the antiviral RBP IFIT1 and the identification of its host-encoded capped RNA targets, using an elegantly simple addition to CLIP-seq approaches. Basic principles leading to discoveries. @RNASociety @VandyBiochem @neelmukherj

If you’re thinking you haven’t had enough ADAR, RNA editing or innate immune signalling (can you ever?) at this #RNA23 then come along to the Technologies session this afternoon where I’ll present our unpublished work. @samlisy_ also talking about anti-viral responses. 🥳 – at Central Region, Singapore

Welcome to the 28th Annual Meeting of the @RNASociety in beautiful Singapore!
Just a friendly reminder that the official hashtag is #RNA23 thanks!

First story from our lab 🥳, out in @NatureComms today! Using direct mRNA sequencing to identify and study pseudouridine mods in human cells and find site with high occupancy. Congrats to @SepidehTavakol2 @CAMcCormick20 @WanunuLab from @NUBioE1

Reason #1 (1/day for Dec) for #lifeinscience: Flexibility. @KimrynRathmell and I had kids in grad school and post-doc. We set our own schedules in lab and that flexibility was key to a great family #WorkLifeBalance. Kids now 27 (lawyer) and 22 (grad student)

Celebrating 1/2 of the Hodgescano Lab today! Congrats to @Hodges_Lab and @TylerJohnHansen
Great talk by @KateDicker4 from the @castello_lab on host RBPs that are encapsidated with the HIV genome! Unanticipated associations with interesting mechanisms that govern viral pathogenesis @RNASociety #RNA2022

Had such an invigorating time talking science for 2.5 hrs last night at #RNA22. The time flew by! Thanks to all who stopped by for the great discourse 🤗 @RNASociety @AscanoLab #RNA2022
Come join us!
Multiple funded openings in #RNABiology / #InnateImmunity / #viruses

A 5.5 mile hike before presenting a poster at #RNA2022 tonight? When in Boulder- count me in!! @yperevalova @AscanoLab @RNASociety
Great talk by @ShechnerLab on O-MAP and it’s possibilities for unifying transcripts to the proteins that regulate them and to the genomic loci that gave rise to them! #RNA2022
