Loving the #EDRC2025 @edrc2025.bsky.social conference so far! Great science and a terrific community. Tomorrow it's our turn to present: Marco will give a talk at the RNA biology session, while Nadya will present a poster shortly after! ❤️🧬🪰 Come and learn why stop makes sense in Drosophila!

Trump's Harvard cuts threaten a giant in biomedical research: A database about the tiny fruit fly

This spring, the Trump administration rescinded a grant that maintained FlyBase, a pillar of global basic research, as part of its broader $2.2 billion funding cuts at Harvard.

Loved it!

🔬 Yesterday, we had a fantastic day! Both children and adults enjoyed science during the "Family Day", organized by the @geneticsub.bsky.social section. 1/3

Here's an interesting paper @natmethods.nature.com introducing the term "Translon", filling a terminology gap in the field of gene expression. Kudos to Pasha Baranov for leading this initiative and gathering many contributors (including myself) for an healthy discussion on fundamental principles 👏

Jack Tierney @jackatierney.bsky.social · Sep 1

Many transcriptome regions are translated but not known to encode proteins. They remain poorly annotated and thus under studied, partly due to the lack of terminology for these features.

In @natmethods.nature.com we propose using "Translon" for any region decoded by the ribosome

Interesting large scale study on the thrust on scientist and their role in society around the world.

Note: Spain is by far the European country scoring higher - why this is not translated into better conditions and funding ? - a mistery.
