Yuka The Woolly Mammoth Just Gave Us The Oldest RNA Ever Sequenced
A woolly mammoth that lived and died nearly 40,000 years ago has given us a spectacular scientific first, millennia later.

The goal of student training in my lab is that each new student learns to isolate #RNA from difficult samples with RIN 10 😂. The latest student just 'graduated' from the RNA school 👏.

Looks like private funders, HHMI,CZI etc., are not going to “save” US research. Europe is setting up mechanisms to attract US researchers & it may work. But, common, target junior talent, don’t shower money on superstars who will be flying professors & return to US when the science winter passes.
