Next week the van Hoof lab will be moving to the Molecular Genetics Department at OSU. After 23 years in Houston, I am excited about the new opportunities, thankful for the past opportunities at UTHSC-Houston, proud of all the trainees trained, and sad to leave many good friends.

Ever wonder why tRNAs have introns? Our brand new PNAS paper suggests it may be because a tRNA methylase needs the intron in tyrosine tRNA. https://t.co/1V5mZ5XtGo

Damn, have to miss #RNADECAYSRC becuase @united canceled my flight three days in a row.

[van Hoof Lab @vanHooligans]

On my way to #RNADECAYSRC. Looking forward to some great science!

[van Hoof Lab @vanHooligans]

The great science will have to wait a day. Only made it half way there on the first try.
