Super proud of Emory College senior Allen Zhang, who was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa honor society today along with an impressive group of Emory Seniors!

Thrilling to celebrate the defense of one of our amazing @Emory IMSD students reaching the culmination of his PhD!!

Enjoying catching up with friends old and new at ASBMB! #ASBMB2026

My colleague, who is part of our Capitol Hill team with ASBMB advocating for basic science, keeps running into students that she trained in her classroom who are here advocating for the American Medical Association! So fun to see the impact of her training in real 3D! #ASBMBAdvocates

Next meeting with one of the Senators from GA- great to be spending the day on Capitol Hill advocating for increased funding to NIH, NSF, and DOE with ASBMB #ASBMBAdvocates

Advocating for basic science funding for NIH, NSF, and DOE is going well #ASBMBAdvocates

Folks from @rnasociety.bsky.social advocating for basic science research funding #ASBMBAdvocates @uwmadisonrna.bsky.social @cassandrahayne.bsky.social

Capitol Hill here we come to advocate for basic science funding representing GA and MS! #ASBMBAdvocates

Excited to head off to Capitol Hill to advocate for basic science funding academia and industry advocating together #ASBMBAdvocates

Lots of RNA biologists represented here as ASBMB heads to the Hill tomorrow to advocate for basic science -#ASBMBAdvocates

Excited to be in DC with #ASBMBAdvocates to advocate for basic science research!

Fabulous @emorycollege.bsky.social senior Zuri Omari-Muhammad presenting her summer research from her @amgen.bsky.social summer research at Yale this summer #ABRCMS

Enjoying the discussion of burnout and resilience with an incredible panel of scientist at ABRCMS- loved hearing @dmortonphd.bsky.social say that your mentors are usually right (newsflash- they are :) strong representation from @rnasociety.bsky.social on this panel

RNA biologists at the ABRCMS! @rnalady.bsky.social @rnasociety.bsky.social @janejackman.bsky.social @traceyjohnson.bsky.social

Thrilled to be at ABRCMS in San Antonio to support the theme of “Empowering future leaders in the Scientific Workforce”- this meeting always reminds me of the promise for the future of science! @dmortonphd.bsky.social #RNA

Thank you to our sponsors for the GA RNA Salon @rnasociety.bsky.social and Lexogen- we hosted Dr. Francesca Storici for our annual symposium yesterday @dunhamlab.bsky.social @ghaleilab.bsky.social

When asking a class of STEM graduate students to choose words that occur to them when we discuss bias in academia

Excited to celebrate the PhD defense of soon to be Dr. Eliseo Salas- he has had a winding path to this PhD, but he has succeeded amazingly AND even better! He has a job at the University of Wisconsin immediately after he defends. Super proud to be a member of his thesis committee and mentor 🎉

Our MARC T34 got a new NOA today- also reinstated the IMSD T32 and a summer program- INSPIRE R25- we were reinstated due to involvement with ACLU lawsuit filed on behalf of the American Public Health Association-

We were part of the other lawsuit filed by the ACLU on behalf of the American Public Health Association and several others

Our EMORY MARC T34 was just reinstated in response to recent court rulings!!!

Attending the Diverse RNA Processes session at #RNA25 - a session that was assembled primarily from our NIH colleagues who had to register a bit late for the meeting. Highlights the incredible research within the intramural research community @rnasociety.bsky.social

The @rnasociety.bsky.social meeting held our first ever RNA in Training Future Scientists session at the annual meeting #RNA25 and it was an amazing success! Thanks the Education Committee @mannyares.bsky.social for his tireless efforts! Amazing talks highlight a creative and collaborative community

@rnasociety.bsky.social hosting a great session on RNA for All talking about the commitment of the society to being inclusive and supporting the next generation of scientists - Congrats to the DEI committee for their efforts! #RNA25 @kehindeross.bsky.social @jesssfisher.bsky.social

Yeah!

So cool to hear about the Super Lab led by Amy Cooke @haverfordcollege.bsky.social in the education session @rnasociety.bsky.social #RNA25

Super excited to be at the first #RNA25 RNA in education session recognizing the commitment of the @rnasociety.bsky.social to supporting the next generation of scientists and the incredible role that RNA can play in this process! @suzannerleephd.bsky.social

The first grad student talk at #RNA25 is given by @emorybiochemistry.bsky.social and BCDB student Mohamed Barmada from the Graeme Conn lab! An amazing talk!

The first night of #RNA25 is in the books kicked off by two amazing keynote speakers- Erin Schuman for Mac Planck and Tracy Johnson from UCLA! Main program starts tomorrow! @rnasociety.bsky.social
