Delighted to share our recent article published in @pnas.org! Provided insights into the shape of the lncRNA RMRP & identified two motors — DDX5 and DDX3X — that help it reach the mitochondria. Without them, RMRP is trapped in the nucleus, disrupting mitochondrial genes. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

#postyourlabview Can we start something here?

The CSMB is concerned that, despite new investments, Federal Budget 2025 weakens rather than strengthens Canada’s research ecosystem. Sustainable research funding is essential for innovation and competitiveness. Read more: csmb-scbm.ca/csmb-stateme... #CSMB #Budget2025 #ResearchCanada #Science

Dr. Hans-Joachim Wieden (Past CSMB President) and Dr. Trushar Patel (CSMB Advocacy & Government Relations co-chair) met with MP Taleeb Noormohamed (BC; Parliamentary Secretary for AI & Digital Innovation; SRSR). They discussed the budget, science investment, and offered support for future SRSR work.

Dr Trushar Patel et Dr Eric Lee (SCBM) ont rencontré la députée Jennifer McKelvie (Ont.; secrétaire parlementaire; membre du SRSR). Ils ont remercié le soutien fédéral à la science, discuté d’un meilleur financement des trois organismes et souligné l’importance d’attirer des nouveaux talents.

CSMB members met with MPs from the Standing Committee on Science & Research (SRSR). They discussed budget updates, thanked the MPs for their contributions to this important committee, emphasized the need to continue investing in fundamental research, and offered their expertise to the SRSR committee

CSMB current and past leadership were in Ottawa to engage with policy and decision-making individuals during the Science Meets Parliament and the Canadian Society Policy Conference.

Science Meets Parliament (SMP) BC and Ontario are back for 2026! SMP is an initiative that aims to strengthen the connections between Canada’s scientific and political communities. Learn more and apply by December 12, 2025: https://sciencepolicy.ca/programs/science-meets-parliament/

🙏🏽 @matthewberg22.bsky.social & @csmb-scbm.bsky.social for capturing my thoughts on mentorship so thoughtfully.
