Labwork to Leadership officially released today!!
I'm humbled by the support from our community, as it's already sold out in most places.
But the eBook is available now on kindle & apple books or you can still pick up a hard copy through @Harvard_Press:

Navigating uncertainty does *not* mean you are accepting what is happening around you.
Rather, it helps you maintain your strength and focus so you can stand up for your values and advocate for what is important.
Check out the video for four steps for navigating uncertainty.

RNase L cleaves most tRNAs in the anticodon loops into various tRNA-derived RNAs (tDRs) including 5'-tDRAla that shows a translation inhibitory effect. Some tRNAs are also cleaved in variable loops. bit.ly/3YTwlNq

Had a blast at the birthday celebration / group reunion for my undergrad advisor over the weekend and a bonus was finding my old lab notebooks in the group room.
E-notebooks are more efficient, but there’s something special about revisiting your handwritten data 25 years later.

Career Advice | A Leadership Position We Aren’t Prepared For
Faculty members who run a lab have a research job and a leadership job, but they are often only trained for one of those, @WUSTL's Jen Heemstra writes. bit.ly/3T7fTGb

My first op-ed is out!
Starting my faculty career was challenging in many ways, and one of those is that I had a leadership job that I didn't expect and wasn't (really) prepared for.
Thanks to @insidehighered for the chance to write about this and share some advice!

to answer this question in @jenheemstra's talk, I had to think of the new @KTHuniversity Organic Chemistry Division Synthesis Club that I am co-chairing together with @alvey_gregory ⚛️🤝 discussing org chem and bringing us all closer together 🫶

EndoVIA detects adenosine-to-inosine editing in cells, providing spatial visualization and quantification of overall inosine abundance with nanoscale resolution
NEW #ASAP by @jenheemstra @HeemstraLab @WashUChem
Read it here: go.acs.org/ahj
Heemstra Lab retweeted
Want to quantify RNA editing without sequencing or see where A-to-I edited RNAs are in cells? We’ve got an app for that!
Thrilled to see the EndoVIA method pioneered by @alexquillin, Benoit Arnould, and @MrSteveKnutson published in @ACSCentSci!

A key takeaway from today’s @HeemstraLab professional development session:
When writing your methods section, use the same level of detail and clarity that you would hope to find in a protocol that you need to replicate from the literature.

I just met @jenheemstra in person and I think I feel a bit starstruck. 🤩
