New article out in NAR from our long term collaboration with the MacIntosh lab. We develop a new assay to measure RNA transport into vacuoles and show that the RNA helicase SKI2 is required for transport. The work was led by former PhD student Brice Floyd.

NSF needs to hear from you. Among other points, I suggested: keep politics out of science; stop using the threat of cancelling scientific grants to try to control universities; increase NSF funding for fundamental research. Pls send around. Deadline is January 27. Thanks
