NIH had fun celebrating another #RNAday. Thanks to @vidigaljoana.bsky.social for organizing this great event and @slwolin.bsky.social for building a strong RNA community.

Congratulations to our lab’s first graduate student! Ameera is now Dr. Mungale and is looking for postdocs in virology. We celebrated with ramen.
