SpotlightsIn recognition of the outstanding lives and accomplishments of our members, each month we profile two RNA Society members—one Full member and one Student/Post-doctoral Fellow member—as part of our Member Spotlight Series. Read about your colleagues’ career paths, their advice for succeeding in science, and their favorite RNA! Featured SpotlightsRui Sousa-Luís is a PhD student developing computational and experimental techniques to measure RNA transcription and dynamics at the University of Lisbon and the University of Oxford. In this month’s spotlight, written by Maxime Wery and edited by Jennifer Porat, he shares his experiences navigating a joint international PhD and the importance of collaborations and connections in driving meaningful scientific advancement. Dr. Joel McManus is an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA, where his lab investigates how untranslated regions of mRNAs regulate translation. In this spotlight written by Dr. Julieta Rivosecchi and edited by Dr. Daniel Kiss, you can follow Joel’s journey through RNA biology from RNA structure to the evolution of gene expression. |
