Following up on this after some additional testing - we feel certain that these Sigma GTP stocks have RNase contamination (1/7)

ωRNA is still my HEARO! @zhangf and colleagues rediscovered HEARO #ncRNA (https://t.co/8cTSScrJIs) as an unusual #CRISPR guide (https://t.co/YAozeaNlEE). I favor keeping the original 2009 name, as this acronym is still accurate: HNH Endonuclease-Associated RNA and ORF.

@_mjpowers What? Do you wanna have another zoom chat? Always here if you need anything.

Two former Breaker lab undergrads doing amazing work at MIT! Congrats, Grace and Michelle! @RonBreaker

[Michelle Peters @michdoesscience]

Very excited to share the Gene-Wei Li lab's latest paper, which I had a small, small part in: https://t.co/BjtXZD8sBM
Grace and Jean lay out evidence for "runaway transcription," where RNA polymerase outpaces the ribosome in Bacillus subtilis.

@Nouronal It’s very ok not to be productive. You will have a long career and there will be stages that you will not be productive. Try to enjoy the little things right now.

We have solved a structure of a novel riboswitch class recently discovered in the @RonBreaker lab. The crystal structure of domain 1 of the NAD+ riboswitch is now available on-line at the RNA journal. We present eight structures with different ligands bound @LinHuang2008

I miss my pipettes.

Our (co-inventors @McLellan_Lab) COVID-19 vaccine (spike delivered by @moderna_tx's mRNA) was just injected into the 1st human in phase 1 trial, only 66 days after viral sequence release... a testament to rapid vaccine development for emerging diseases🦠💚

Our paper is now available online!
We studied how proteins bind adenine, a common and ancient fragment originating in the RNA world, as an example of the greater mystery: how proteins evolved to recognize and bind their ligands. Check it out!

@lmogawa11 @madisherlikin @JeffreyKieft @LenaSteckelberg @BenAkiyama Yay!!

[John Montgomery @john_montg]

Just received word that the application deadline for the @UMich #NextProfScience workshop was extended to January 26. This workshop for future faculty committed to diversity in STEM gives great information and advice about the job search process. Apply! https://t.co/Ul6FMSrcLb

Despite an increase in URM Ph.D.s since 1985, there's been no change in the percentage of URM biomedical professors who are research faculty. How can an institution that wants to add more URM faculty do so? Michael Johnson @blacksciblog shares tips: https://t.co/bZHBhS4yOH

Spread the word: The next meeting on Regulating with RNA in Bacteria and Archaea will be September, 2020 in FL! More info at https://t.co/fywOaFvN5M

@CarolynBertozzi Finding these @MAMAVA pods in airports while traveling was so fantastic! I never cared about breastfeeding in public, but pumping in public is absolutely AWFUL. So many working moms have the stress of "where will I pump every 3 hrs?" and these help a little.

@Yale Science Building (YSB) officially had its ribbon cut today! @MCDB_Yale @YaleMBB

[Kimberly Harris @DrKimHarris]

The @MCDB_Yale Retreat at @MBLScience was top-notch! Great organizing (and weather ☀️) this year! 😁

On the origin of immunity
Remarkable similarities between human and bacterial immune systems.
