Beyond excited of co-organising this 🦠💪
protistologyopen.bsky.social@protistologyopen.bsky.social · 5mo agoWe are pleased to announce the first mentoring event co-sponsored by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the International Society of Protistologist. Join us on April 19th, in Prague to connect, exchange experiences, and support early-career protistologist.
Check out the incredible initiative from the Junior Faculty at Charles University that I'm proud to be part of (also photographically featured ;) www.nature.com/articles/d41...
‘Anyone hired a student before?’ How a group of novice lab leaders are supporting each other
By creating a network of early-career principal investigators, my colleagues and I have enacted change and battled bureaucracy.

Thank you to all the organisers of @CambridgeRNA you truly make a beautiful RNA club :)
Cambridge RNA@cambridgerna.bsky.social · 2y agoYesterday’s Cambridge RNA Club was a blast! Despite a small crowd, we had great science, lively discussions and, of course… pizza! Quality over quantity, right? Huge thanks to @vanessaloi.bsky.social @soniagr.bsky.social & sponsors for making it a fantastic session! See you at the next one!
Soo excited to talk about all the beautiful RNA things with RNA aficionados next week @cambridgerna.bsky.social !
Cambridge RNA@cambridgerna.bsky.social · 2y agoUnderstanding transcription in plant organelles is key to unlocking how plants regulate their genes, especially in chloroplasts! @vanessaloi.bsky.social research dives into how tRNA introns act as intrinsic antiterminators shedding light on new RNA regulatory mechanisms! 🌱 #RNAResearch #Chloroplast
