I feel like crap. I didn’t get any grants this year, so I had to let go of my super talented postdoc—someone with a doctorate who’s now unemployed, without benefits or retirement, and still grinding away on a paper... Postdocs are the most unappreciated and undervalued positions

Read this excellent story from the @jltwiss1 lab. Acetylation of Axonal G3BP1 through ELP3 Accelerates Axon Regeneration
biorxiv.org
Nerve injury triggers localized translation of axonal mRNAs to respond to injury and nerve regeneration. The core stress granule protein G3BP1 sequesters axonal mRNAs in granules before and after...

Super cool results from the @jltwiss1 lab. Source: bioRxiv
biorxiv.org
Injured axons synthesize the RNA Binding Protein KHSRP that promotes mRNA decay and slows nerve regeneration. Axotomy-induced increase in axoplasmic Ca2+ activates axonal Khsrp translation, and while...

Hello RNA World! Ever wonder what's "talking to" your favorite transcript, but were too scared to ask? In our review in @CellReports, @FKHM and I highlight new RNA-focused tools for discovering RNA interactions across organizational scales. Checkit! https://t.co/gVMCVbSRoS

Club SciWri in action- as a comic poster this time, on the history of the origin of life and the RNA World, at the @RNASociety meeting with @SaurjaDasGupta @ArghaManna
Possibly the first comics poster in 30 years of the @RNASociety Meeting. Exploring the history of the RNA World with artwork from my collaborator @ArghaManna. Work funded by @NotreDameGlobal and @NDscience .

Biological systems find ingenuous solutions. Almost anything that can happen, happens. Still, I would not have guessed a role of RNA-binding proteins on the cell surface. The Flynn lab are boldly investigating glycoRNAs and following their leads.
