Junior RNA Scientists, tomorrow April 22nd at 10AM ET is the RNA Collaborative Seminar Series hosted by the EMBL & Instituto Italiano di Tecnologia - RNA Technologies Flagship! Join us to hear about emerging RNA research. Sign up for zoom registration here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
Excited to share a new review by @kocherlab.bsky.social and me:
Nature-inspired neuroscience
We discuss diverse sensory systems and behaviors across the animal kingdom and argue for their integration into neuroscience. New tools in diverse systems are making this possible ✨

I'm hiring! I have 2 open positions:
🔬 Postdoc
🧪 Research associate
We study how animal multicellularity evolved by exploring the molecular logic of cell adhesion using cell biology, 'omics, and tool-building in non-model organisms.
Come join us!

Heads up all Junior RNA Scientists - March 31st is the deadline for poster abstract submission and early bird registration for the 2026 Annual RNA Society Meeting in Montreal! Don't miss out, we have an exciting panel and fun events planned!
Excited to share our new preprint on gnomAD v4! We present the full analysis of 730,947 exomes — new constraint metrics, improved LoF annotation (LOFTEE-2), LLM-based literature curation, and a unified framework for gene discovery and rare disease diagnosis. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

My lab released a new preprint today. The work is the culmination of a long term project led by Peren Coskun, Ph.D., who investigated the biological role of the C. elegans glp-1 3'UTR in its endogenous context. Please join me in congratulating Peren!

Are you or anyone you know looking for a #postdoc to study #metabolism and metabolic disease? I am a newly minted #biology PhD looking for #postdoc positions in the European Union and the United Kingdom. I defended my thesis in #circadian biology and metabolism earlier this week.

To all 3' end (and RNA, in general) enthusiasts. I'm organising a great conference in Oxford 7th-11th Sept with @lapassmore.bsky.social and Christine Mayr. The lineup of speakers is brilliant! Registration closes 4th May. Please consider it!
Please check out our latest #preprint to study #ACTIVELY TRANSLATING #tRNA populations and their dynamics upon #stress :) This was an wonderful collaborative effort between @novoalab.bsky.social @immagina.bsky.social and #Soares teams - thank you for making this possible!
Calling all Junior RNA Scientists.
On March 11, the RNA Society Junior Scientist Representatives are hosting a Town Hall as part of the RNA Collaborative Seminar. Join the conversation and share how we can better support trainees.

Excited to have started my new lab in Human Genetics at Pitt Public Health!
We study wound healing in diabetes & aging using adult zebrafish. Check out this movie showing neutrophil dynamics after injury.
Now recruiting research staff, grad students, and postdocs. DM me if interested.
Reminder, today is the deadline for signing up for the RNA Society Mentoring Program! This is a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of as a trainee in the RNA Society @rnasociety.bsky.social

Junior RNA Scientsts - the @rnasociety.bsky.social Mentoring Program deadline is now Feb 20, 2026 ⏰
Get 1-1 guidance on career decisions, research planning, and academia vs industry.
More mentors than mentees apply, so do not miss this opportunity. Details are in the email from the RNA Society 📧
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/

Want to interpret DNA sequence-to-function models to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms? Then this is a must read!
Time for a thread on our Christmas preprint “Origin and evolution of acrocentric chromosomes in human and great apes”. I had so much fun with this project and paper. It will be hard to summarize in a thread, but I’ll try www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... [1/21]
I’m stoked to share my postdoc work with @sunnyshinlab.bsky.social, a collaborative effort with @metabailism.bsky.social & Brian Goldspiel, aided by many valued collaborators: Environmental Amino Acid Sensing Regulates the Rate of ASC Translation and NLRP3 Inflammasome Assembly. Some big takeaways:
Excited to share Alison's @alisonkickuth.bsky.social paper from the lab out in @nature.com this week! We uncovered how a mechanical ratchet mechanism drives cytokinesis in early #zebrafish embryos. Read more in this thread 🧵 and at www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🤩
