I did a thing. I wrote a textbook about #RNA. I wrote it so that those without formal science training could understand what RNA is and how it is used in medicine. It releases in the US and Europe on September 8th. www.worldscientific.com/worldscibook...

New paper out by RTG2355 members Jennifer Kothe, Theresa Dietz, Robina Scheuer & Elena Evguenieva-Hackenberg, identifying a new attenuation mechanism that apparently monitors ribosome availability and translation efficiency in the soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti
Early posttranscriptional response to tetracycline exposure in a gram-negative soil bacterium reveals unexpected attenuation mechanism of a DUF1127 gene
The gram-negative, soil-dwelling plant symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti shares its free-living habitat with antibiotic producers. To learn about early steps of its adaptation to antibiotics, we anal...

Hi friends - In the face of unprecedented cuts to the basic research science funding, climate scientists are staging an 100-hour live stream of why science matters. There will be many talks on all sorts of things (I'm Saturday at 12:30 PT). Please share widely! wcstreamathon.netlify.app. 🌊🧪
The Weather & Climate Livestream
Join us starting May 28th, as meteorologists and climate scientists from across the US share their research and answer your questions.

I received one of the 232 NIH grant "terminations" sent to scientists at Columbia last night. My research focuses on improving maternal and child health in the US. Also affected: ongoing clinical trials, research training programs, and research centers that aim to improve the health of Americans.
Hundreds of research grants at Columbia canceled following Trump edict, administrator says
The National Institutes of Health is terminating 232 grants for scientific research at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, according to an email an administrator sent to faculty.
