Our Summary of the (in my view) most exciting new insight into the mechanism of NMD of the past decade is now out at the RNA Journal @rnajournal.bsky.social doi.org/10.1261/rna....

Congratulations Sebastian!

A hint for Swiss politicians: if you want Swiss science to remain internationally competitive, cutting the SNSF budget is the opposite of what you actually should be doing.

Ironically, at the same time, Swiss politicians are warning about China taking over the global lead in scientific discoveries and development of innovative technology.

While the Swiss government wants to cut the budget of the Swiss National Science Foundation by 5%, China has just announced a 10% budget increase for science and technology.
