Proud of the work done by @rnasociety.bsky.social to develop a code of conduct for the annual meeting- this society strives to support the next generation of scientists and make RNA accessible to all!
Excited to be @rnasociety.bsky.social meeting 2026 in Montreal! Amazing science and colleagues- follow the RNA Society and the RNA Journal @rnajournal.bsky.social
A delight today to host some of the amazing Emory undergrads (soon to be grads!) at my home- some with families in tow 🎓🎉
Excited to recognize amazing undergraduate research at Emory where MARC scholar Zuri Omari Muhammad will talk about her research in the Seldin lab as recognition of her award for biology research!
Super proud of Emory College senior Allen Zhang, who was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa honor society today along with an impressive group of Emory Seniors!
Thrilling to celebrate the defense of one of our amazing @Emory IMSD students reaching the culmination of his PhD!!
My colleague, who is part of our Capitol Hill team with ASBMB advocating for basic science, keeps running into students that she trained in her classroom who are here advocating for the American Medical Association! So fun to see the impact of her training in real 3D! #ASBMBAdvocates
Next meeting with one of the Senators from GA- great to be spending the day on Capitol Hill advocating for increased funding to NIH, NSF, and DOE with ASBMB #ASBMBAdvocates
Folks from @rnasociety.bsky.social advocating for basic science research funding #ASBMBAdvocates @uwmadisonrna.bsky.social @cassandrahayne.bsky.social
Capitol Hill here we come to advocate for basic science funding representing GA and MS! #ASBMBAdvocates
Excited to head off to Capitol Hill to advocate for basic science funding academia and industry advocating together #ASBMBAdvocates
Lots of RNA biologists represented here as ASBMB heads to the Hill tomorrow to advocate for basic science -#ASBMBAdvocates
Excited to be in DC with #ASBMBAdvocates to advocate for basic science research!
Fabulous @emorycollege.bsky.social senior Zuri Omari-Muhammad presenting her summer research from her @amgen.bsky.social summer research at Yale this summer #ABRCMS
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
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
