I don’t mind working late when the experiment WORKS 🤩🥳

[Sarah Wicks @scientistswicks]

Wow. Technical support at companies can be a great resource for when experiments are not working 💡🤯

The biggest lie I tell myself is that I will remember there is a TLC plate running as I walk away from it.

Very excited to share the latest update of the RNA-targeted BIoactive ligaNd Database, R-BIND 2.0! What started as a quarantine project in March 2020 turned into a great multi-institution collaboration that we think will highly benefit the RNA field: a🧵

What does tRNA do when it’s cold?

It puts its codon.

I am thrilled to share with you our work on SARS-CoV2 antiviral development now published in @ScienceAdvances. In this work we developed small molecules that target RNA structures present in the 5’-end of SARS-CoV2 genome (1/9) https://t.co/BRhmKzRkz2

Does anyone else go through cycles where they turn off phone notifications so they aren’t distracted, but then later turn notifications back on because they find themselves checking their phone more often? Asking for a friend.

Vibing with your data is a vibe 😎
