Congrats Leah! So so happy for you!

RBPscan: A quantitative in vivo tool for profiling RNA-binding protein interactions Kretov et al. introduce RBPscan, an RNA-editing-based platform that measures how RNA-binding proteins engage their targets in living cells. This approach quantifies the binding strength of protein-RNA...

I am thrilled to share our paper introducing RBPscan, a novel approach to profile RNA–protein interactions in living cells. Free access link at the end ⬇️ 🧵 1/

My grad student, who got RWR and appealed, got an email from GRFP program today that said "Your application was screened by NSF program officers with expertise in your proposed field of study and was determined to be ineligible according to the solicitation requirements."

No details were given. 😡

NSF GRFP applicants (and mentors): Was your application Returned Without Review and deemed ineligible despite fitting in the allowed topics?
1) Write NSF
2) Write your Congressperson
3) CC us at grfp@grant-witness.us so we can compile + follow up

Congrats! Amazing news 🥳

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2025 Boston Area Zebrafish Researchers Meeting! You all made this a fantastic meeting!

After reading this and not seeing my SRO on this list, I decided to try and email her. She responded, so what you say seems accurate. Agree, this is frustrating! Thanks for all your updates!

Thanks for sharing the tool! As I mentioned, my SRO is not listed too. Feel your pain!

My SRO isn’t on the directory either 😭
