Enjoying the discussion of burnout and resilience with an incredible panel of scientist at ABRCMS- loved hearing @dmortonphd.bsky.social say that your mentors are usually right (newsflash- they are :) strong representation from @rnasociety.bsky.social on this panel

RNA biologists at the ABRCMS! @rnalady.bsky.social @rnasociety.bsky.social @janejackman.bsky.social @traceyjohnson.bsky.social

Thrilled to be at ABRCMS in San Antonio to support the theme of “Empowering future leaders in the Scientific Workforce”- this meeting always reminds me of the promise for the future of science! @dmortonphd.bsky.social #RNA

Thank you to our sponsors for the GA RNA Salon @rnasociety.bsky.social and Lexogen- we hosted Dr. Francesca Storici for our annual symposium yesterday @dunhamlab.bsky.social @ghaleilab.bsky.social

When asking a class of STEM graduate students to choose words that occur to them when we discuss bias in academia

Excited to celebrate the PhD defense of soon to be Dr. Eliseo Salas- he has had a winding path to this PhD, but he has succeeded amazingly AND even better! He has a job at the University of Wisconsin immediately after he defends. Super proud to be a member of his thesis committee and mentor 🎉

Our MARC T34 got a new NOA today- also reinstated the IMSD T32 and a summer program- INSPIRE R25- we were reinstated due to involvement with ACLU lawsuit filed on behalf of the American Public Health Association-

Our EMORY MARC T34 was just reinstated in response to recent court rulings!!!

Attending the Diverse RNA Processes session at #RNA25 - a session that was assembled primarily from our NIH colleagues who had to register a bit late for the meeting. Highlights the incredible research within the intramural research community @rnasociety.bsky.social

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

@rnasociety.bsky.social hosting a great session on RNA for All talking about the commitment of the society to being inclusive and supporting the next generation of scientists - Congrats to the DEI committee for their efforts! #RNA25 @kehindeross.bsky.social @jesssfisher.bsky.social

So cool to hear about the Super Lab led by Amy Cooke @haverfordcollege.bsky.social in the education session @rnasociety.bsky.social #RNA25

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

The first grad student talk at #RNA25 is given by @emorybiochemistry.bsky.social and BCDB student Mohamed Barmada from the Graeme Conn lab! An amazing talk!

The first night of #RNA25 is in the books kicked off by two amazing keynote speakers- Erin Schuman for Mac Planck and Tracy Johnson from UCLA! Main program starts tomorrow! @rnasociety.bsky.social

Excited to finally be heading to RNA 2025 in San Diego! Have worked with amazing colleagues to co-organize this meeting so I can’t wait to see all the exciting science and connect with colleagues! @rnabiologist.bsky.social @kkarbstein.bsky.social

Excited to spend a day dedicated to mentor training with CIMER. This training is supported by INSPIRE our NIAID R25 to broaden participation in Infectious Disease research. Our fearless leader Dr. Michael Chung kicks off the day.

Celebrating 25 years of @EmoryUniversity FIRST/IRACDA post-doctoral training program, which has so successfully launched the careers of SO many faculty and contributed to enhancing the professorate and biomedical science. Sad this is the end 😢

An incredible opportunity to have three former BCDB students who are making key contributions in the Science Policy area as our panel for the BCDB T32

Excited to have former BCDB student Julia Omotade visiting for our T32 Symposium

Congratulations to Satvik Elayavalli @emorycollege on his honors thesis defense and well deserved Highest Honors in math @selayav.bsky.social

We had lots of fun today in our BCDB Grad class- doing a Kahoot on non coding RNAs! Note the winners- one of Anita’s favorite words- Steady-state! Shout out to our winners who were rewarded with chocolate! A fun class taught with Gary Bassell! Small wins these days..

We need these moments these days- a former mentee who has been through the grad school ringer after Covid-19 severely impacted her undergrad research contacted me to say after 3 years of applications and interviews- she will attend her dream PhD program next year! Thrilled for her!

Had a lovely visit with two former Corbett lab trainees- former BCDB grad student and Emory College undergrad- now Harvard MD/PhD and Tufts post-doc soon to be faculty at Bowdoin! And taking center stage- Arthur new arrival to former grad student!!

I’ll be in DC March 7th at the StandUpForScience rally. See you there! If you can’t make it to DC there will be a StandUpForScience rally in a city near you. @standupforscience.bsky.social
