We hope to see you there!
The RNA Salon came to Brazil! 🇧🇷
RNA Salon Brazil is part of a global initiative by the RNA Society to strengthen the scientific community studying RNA around the world.
Brazil is now part of this network!

Researchers from the global south face often-distressing immigration bureaucracy that most from the global north do not.
These steps can begin to counteract this inequity https://t.co/K1VaNYrHLE
Many people have no idea how these things work.
For example, right now, as a Brazilian, I can't accept invitations to speak at conferences in Europe because my visa to work in the U.S. has expired.
I am not illegal; I have a work contract with the University of California until 2027. Still, I must travel outside the U.S. and get a visa stamp on my passport to allow me to move freely to talk about science.
I have to do this every single year I stay in the U.S. The costs of the visa, traveling, time lost, etc, are all on me. Not every international scientist can handle this.
3rd in @NatureCareers' series on our global survey of #postdocs shows these researchers in their 30s are disillusioned with low pay, high COL and putting off life's big decisions.
Falling behind: postdocs in their thirties tire of putting life on hold https://t.co/7v7K8hgVGr
Cell-type specific regulator RBPMS switches alternative splicing via higher-order oligomerization and heterotypic interactions with other splicing regulators https://t.co/gqlLtqNwu5
Pfizer is recruiting Senior Scientist for RNA biology group (led by me) . Great work environment, benefits, and science that changes patients life! https://t.co/1tFpsgSPsM
Passion for science does NOT have to look like:
▪️Being in the lab 24/7
▪️Publishing countless papers
▪️A high title in #academia
Passion for science can simply be:
✅'I think that thing is really cool, and I'm excited to learn more about it!'
