NYC Postdocs: join us for this month's Postdoc Night Science event! Having a science buddy is crucial for the creative process. So this time we're meeting at a bar near Union Square for some science buddy "speed dating". RSVP: tinyurl.com/3t5us6hp!

In addition to carrying genetic data, DNA and RNA can also be designed to fold into 'molecular breadboards' with nanometer addressability. To enable tightly-packed RNA origami, we developed a new motif, the αKL, which we're excited to share in our preprint!🧬🧪 1/🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🧬💻We are hiring! universityvacancies.com/maynooth-uni...

This is happening today! If you are postdoc AND in NYC (even if you are from non-NYC institutions), you should join. It's always a good time at NYC postdoc night science.
