Thrilling to have Savanna, an undergrad student from my lab @wwu.edu win a 2025 Undergraduate/Pre-graduate poster award at #rna2025 #rna25. Big thanks to the Education Committee chaired by @mannyares.bsky.social and the poster judges who made such awards possible this year!

Yes! Big thanks to @mannyares.bsky.social too!

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

Thanks for helping make it happen, @acorbe2.bsky.social !!

Speakers and supporters of the inaugural “Training Future Scientists through RNA Research” session!

Great turnout and inspiring talks in the inaugural “Training Future Scientists through RNA Research” session at #RNA25 #rna2025! Thank you to the meeting organizers and participants! @rnasociety.bsky.social

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

Getting excited for the first education and training focused session at the RNA Society meeting TODAY, 2:55pm! Will showcase effective and impactful strategies folks are using to nurture the development of budding scientists and future innovators! #rnasky #rna2025 #rnaatpui

Providing research experiences and training for undergraduates and MS students is one of the greatest privileges of my job. So proud of our students.

Hannah is a student I was honored to have in my lab for 3 years (and who is now at the Allen Institute!). Any gift to support our grad and undergrad student research programs, microscopy facilities, and more would go towards strengthening our future STEM workforce. wwugiveday.wwu.edu/giving-day/9...

Go Joe and Nick!

Deciphering disordered regions controlling mRNA decay in high-throughput - Nature Using high-throughput functional profiling, how disordered regions control mRNA stability and translation is explored.

Will be taking a deep dive into this today. Congrats to Joe Lobel and Nick Ingolia! #RNAsky #RNAbiology
