Samantha (Sam) Lisy shares her unconventional path to a career in science as a PhD candidate in Biochemistry at Vanderbilt University located in Nashville, Tennessee (USA). In this piece, written by Courtney Whilden and edited by Dr. Jennifer Porat, Sam describes how her unique experiences as a former elite athlete have made her a better scientist.

Thanks for the kind words! I’ll be there- looking forward to seeing you, maybe we can get a run in together!

[Julieta Rivosecchi @jurivosecchi]

Excited to dive into @samlisy_'s @RNASociety Spotlight about mixing sports & science to reach one's potential, my favourite combination 🤩. I believe that being yourself is enough to become a successful scientist. Hope to see you at the #RNA24 Sam!

[Vanderbilt Biochemistry @VandyBiochem]

Join us for Colloquium tomorrow! We'll be hearing from @samlisy_, a grad student in the @AscanoLab! LH 202 at noon. Food served starting at 11:45.

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

One of the many reasons why I love @VUbretASPIRE- To top off a fruitful career exploration course, they got us fresh business cards!

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

@Xisca_Aguilo @RNASociety Thank you!

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

I had the honor of presenting at the 28th @RNASociety Conference in Singapore. I received many questions, had very fruitful conversations, and am excited to stay connected with all the bright scientists that I met.

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

@acorbe2 @RNASociety Thank you!!

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

While a professional milestone, this also benchmarks a highpoint in what was a remarkably challenging two years. Cheers to overcoming more challenges and reaching higher peaks! 🥂.

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

Winding down a whirlwind week in Singapore.

We had the best time talking science and meeting new and old friends at #RNA23. @AscanoLab @RNASociety @VandyBiochem

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

Thank you! And thanks to you and your lab with the computational help 🤗

[Neelanjan Mukherjee @neelmukherj]

@AscanoLab @samlisy_ @RNASociety @VandyBiochem Very cool strategy and wish I were there to see @samlisy_ crush it 😁

[Ascano Lab @AscanoLab]

Winding down another great day at #RNA23 🇸🇬, with @samlisy_ and colleagues. Singapore slings! @RNA_biologist @HoggLab @NRGuydosh @RNASociety

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

@jurivosecchi Beautiful run views!

[Ascano Lab @AscanoLab]

Awesome talk by @samlisy_ about her work on the antiviral RBP IFIT1 and the identification of its host-encoded capped RNA targets, using an elegantly simple addition to CLIP-seq approaches. Basic principles leading to discoveries. @RNASociety @VandyBiochem @neelmukherj

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

Grateful to have had to opportunity to present at #RNA23

If you’re thinking you haven’t had enough ADAR, RNA editing or innate immune signalling (can you ever?) at this #RNA23 then come along to the Technologies session this afternoon where I’ll present our unpublished work. @samlisy_ also talking about anti-viral responses. 🥳

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

The perfect 1-2 punch to finish the Technologies 2 session at #RNA2023. See you soon!

[Sam Lisy @samlisy_]

Speaking of which… come see me talk about discovering a previously overlooked subset of transcripts at the Technologies II concurrent session. Happy to chat more after too 🤗 #RNA23

Drinking up all the exciting science being presented at #RNA23
