A nematode retrotransposon in the common shrew: horizontal transfer between parasite and host biorxiv.org/content/early/… #transposon

We (Wadsworth Center) are looking for Tenure track Assistant/Associate professor levels of Bacteriologists working on basic biological process in bacteria, mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis, or antimicrobial resistance. See blow. jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/484733/ten…

"Today, she finally got to explain—with the precision of a scientist, with the authority of a professor. Because that is who she is." theatlantic.com/health/archive…

I find it impossible to carry on doing science as usual today. I am angry, fed up, depressed and tired. It is utterly demoralizing to be reminded that no matter how accomplished, educated or honest we are, our voices simply do not matter. #women #FridayFeeling

I was struck by "manuscripts submitted to eLife with female lead authors were published at 88.3 percent the rate of those with male lead authors". Like, it's ALWAYS 10-15% bias across all kinds of metrics in all kinds of arenas (wages, papers, grants). biorxiv.org/content/early/…

Just got back from a great @RiboClub meeting. I highly recommend it for those interested in RNA. main.riboclub.org

Max Royzen will be speaking about “In-cell activation of siRNA using biorthogonal chemistry” at the HVRC meeting tomorrow at 4pm, LSRB1143, UAlbany campus. How cool is that?

We are very excited to have a talk by UAlbany RNA Fellow Rachel Nelson from Wadsworth’s Pata lab on the “Strucure and Mechanisms of C-family Bacterial DNA Polymerases” at our next meeting on April 17. Same bat-time, same bat-channel!

Congratulations to Max Royzen and Jia Sheng @TheRNAInstitute @ualbany for recent @NSF grants in RNA research! Well deserved! The Hunt to End Disease - University at Albany-SUNY albany.edu/news/85675.php…

RNA symposium only 1 week away! We are dotting the i's and crossing the t's to ensure a great event. We hope you will join us next week! @TheRNAInstitute @ualbany bit.ly/2AfWI1z

Every wondered why the UAS-GAL4 system is so picky in the #drosophila female #germline? piRNA is to blame. Great paper! biorxiv.org/content/early/…
