NIH had fun celebrating another #RNAday. Thanks to @vidigaljoana.bsky.social for organizing this great event and @slwolin.bsky.social for building a strong RNA community.

Congratulations to our lab’s first graduate student! Ameera is now Dr. Mungale and is looking for postdocs in virology. We celebrated with ramen.

New Resource Article: Joseph Ziegelbauer @drjz.bsky.social and colleagues profile cis- and trans-acting elements of viral circRNAs and identify noncanonical mechanisms underlying back-splicing - utilizing their custom-built “CHARLIE” pipeline www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

In the midst of everything it feels particularly appropriate to highlight all the amazing #RNA research taking place at #NIH! Follow this thread to join us for our biannual #RNASymposium, this year featuring intramural research superstars!

This is my latest astrophotography picture. This is the heart of the Heart Nebula. Some of those stars are 50 times the size of our sun.

Our group is hiring two post-doctoral fellows. Link to the ad is below. Please share to potential people. Thanks! ccr.cancer.gov/careers/post...

Here are my top 9 astrophotography pictures from 2023. Keep looking up!

I'm excited to share that our new paper is published. Many thanks to our wonderful team that made this possible. We are also grateful to the clinical trial participants for their contributions. rdcu.be/dmMLy
