I am extremely honored to receive this award, which has previously been given to some of my heroes. We all stand on the shoulders of giants—and our trainees. @rnasociety.bsky.social @unibe.ch ‪@nccr-rna-disease.bsky.social

We would like to congratulate Sebastian Leidel ( @mcm5s2u.bsky.social ) on receiving the 2026 RNA Society Mid-Career Award! nccr-rna-and-disease.ch/news/article... @rnasociety.bsky.social @unibe.ch @snsf.ch

Two of the three latest Breakthrough papers in #NAR are from our department. Congrats to @schneian.bsky.social and his amazing team!

Our new paper finally in #NAR as Breakthrough paper! Wobble uridine #tRNA modifications have more diverse functions during #translation than previously thought. #tRNA modification defects do not affect all #codons in the same way. Great work by Jie and Cristian. With help from many.

⭐NAR Breakthrough! ⭐ 🔬 #tRNA modifications fine-tune #translation; in yeast, their loss slows #ribosomes at hard-to-read codon pairs, causing collisions ⚠️, and cells deploy quality control pathways to prevent #proteotoxicstress and ensure survival. 🧬Read more: doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

tRNA modification and m6A functionally interact in tuning decoding and mRNA decay. Great collaboration with the Steinmetz lab! Now out in Cell. Submission date still 2023... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Back to the essentials. What a brilliant cartoon! @nccr-rna-disease.bsky.social xkcd.com/3056/
