Queer RNA scientist. Holding down the fort in the mid-west. My tweets are awesome. Purdue University. Planet Earth.
👀👀👀! New paper online @pnas.org shows that a polymerase ribozyme can copy an RNA with higher precision when the conditions support backtracking. This "chew-back" corrects mistakes and repairs dead-ends, leading to longer, higher-fidelity copies. www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

Today is the day! Our first Purdue RNA Club Symposium. Thanks to support from @rnasociety.bsky.social and #Lexogen.
Nice story from Purdue RNA Club's Jason Hanna's lab! @hannalab.bsky.social www.bio.purdue.edu/news/article...
Purdue Researchers Identify New Pathway for Treating Aggressive Vascular Cancer
New research identifies how the loss of small molecules that help control gene activity- called microRNAs- can trigger tumor growth, and how an existing drug may help restore their function.

RNA Club returns on Friday with Iman Mevaa from the @kasinskilab.bsky.social presenting a talk titled Targeted Delivery of Tumor-Suppressive miR-34a for Osteosarcoma Treatment. We will meet in ABE B061 at 3:30 on October 10.
Great turnout for our first meeting of fall 2025! We got to learn about miRNAs, Drosha, phase separation, and IDRs from Bing Yang, a new assistant professor in Purdue Biology.
Please help me boost our new account for the Purdue RNA Club!!!!

Does any see the option for a no cost extension on eRA Commons now? Folks are telling me that this may not be universal. Thank you for any information you can provide.
If you're a scientist that serves on an NSF panel that got cancelled today, I'd love to talk to you about it for an NPR story. DM, email or reach out on signal.
