fiRNA is back for 2025! No free seats as RNA enthusiast have filled the room to share and hear about RNA. Thank you @RNASociety and @lexogen for support.

Jos #yliopistot saisivat tutkimukseen suunnattua uutta perusrahoitusta riittävästi, pystyisivät ne osallistumaan kilpailukyvyn ja tuottavuuden nostamiseen usealla tavalla, Jukka Westermarck, @tiedeedella, korostaa Professoriblogissa. #tiede #tutkimus professoriliitto.fi/blogikirjoituk…

You can find me now @rnaminni.bsky.social.

We have 15 PhD positions available as part of the DANIO-ReCODE MSCA DN. Great opportunity for anyone interested in developmental biology, regeneration, genomics, and computational sciences. For project descriptions and how to apply, check: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/290548

It was great to discuss #RNA research and science as a career with the high school students in Tampere @ClasuTRE. The future looks bright! @TampereUniMET

@MikaelNiku @helsinkiuni Ura voi alkaa hyvästä väitöskirjasta, johon kuuluu hyvä julkaisu. Pienimmät mahdolliset julkaistavat yksiköt harvoin avaavat tutkijanuraa, vaikka nykyään muodollisesti riittävätkin väitöskirjan hyväksymiseen. Määrä ei ole laatua.

@MikaelNiku @helsinkiuni Minusta tässä on paljon hyvää. Väitöskirja tehdään osana tohtorin tutkintoa ja se pitää asettaa oikeisiin mittasuhteisiin Suomessakin. Siis se on atkotutkinto, ei elämänura. Väitöskirjan tarkastavat alan asiantuntijat, jotka varmistavat, että se täyttää tieteelliset kriteerit.

Ale on tarpeettoman ruma sana, sanoisin että kohtuullistamme tutkintovaatimuksia. Mutta taustoja ja motiiveja on hyvä perata: kuka ohjailee yliopistoja, miksi ja miten? Kommentti ruohonjuurelta = muutaman @helsinkiuni väitöskirjatutkijan ohjaajalta ⛓️ yle.fi/a/74-20118082

I am excited to be in Copenhagen, one of my favourite cities in the world, to give a talk in the Danish RNA Society meeting!

🔬 Looking to set up your own lab in RNA or cell biology? The International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw has an exciting opportunity! 🌍🧬 rnasociety.org/junior-group-l… & iimcb.gov.pl/en/ #ResearchOpportunity #CellBiology #RNA #AcademicJobs #Science

@KatLeppek @EMBOevents @KellerValsecchi @Jeske_Lab Until next time! Wonderful to meet you all.

Three chairs and one speaker of #EESRNA in one picture. Thank you to the organizers and @EMBOevents for a fantastic RNA meeting. @wilhelmstore @KellerValsecchi @Jeske_Lab

Three days of exciting RNA biology ahead @EMBL Complex Life of RNA. Thr first unexpected #RNA encounter already at the gate in Helsinki!

6th fiRNA on the way! Wonderful to meet with fellow RNA enthusiasts and hear about all things RNA! Today we have already covered lincRNAs, tRNAs and RBPs. @RNASociety @lexogen

Have you always wanted to build multi-gene baculovirus expression vectors without the pain? We introduce MoClo Baculo: + No PCR + No primers + Swap tags/ORFs easily + No more sequencing gazillion intermediate plasmids + Bonus: yeast compatibility 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The @RNASociety congratulates our wonderful and illustrious #RNA colleagues Dr. Howard Chang @StanfordMed, Dr. Adrian Krainer @CSHL, and Dr. Lynne Maquat @UR_Med on being awarded the 2024 Albany Medical Center Prize in Medicine and Biomedical Research for advancing "the study and understanding of RNA-mediated gene regulatory programs in genetic and acquired diseases, including spinal muscular atrophy, cancers, and autoimmune diseases"! #AlbanyPrize

Another scientist whose work initially didn't get the recognition that it deserved - Victor Ambros was denied tenure at Harvard, even after publishing the seminal work that resulted in him receiving the Nobel Prize today!

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

RNA rocks! The second year in a row, the Novel Prize in physiology or medicine goes to RNA. #miRNA @NobelPrize nobelprize.org

Our focus issue on RNA biology features reviews that explore the many faces of #RNA, diving into the processes mediating the lifecycle of RNA, the regulatory roles of RNA, the importance of RNA in disease, and the technologies used to study RNA. cell.com/molecular-cell…

@martinalexsmith Are the numbers in the figure points from the audience for and against 🤣

Jeannie Lee insists that the PRC2 epigenetic silencing complex DOES bind RNA in a highly specific manner via #bioinformatics reanalysis of data from this conflicting report: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38387462/ #RNAcanadaARN
