Gammaherpesvirus infection triggers the formation of tRNA fragments from premature tRNAs | mBio
Diverse conditions of infection and cellular stress incite the cleavage of transfer
RNAs (tRNAs), leading to the formation of tRNA fragments (tRFs) that can directly
regulate gene expression. In our s...

We are hiring! 😊
Hey y'all! My department is conducting a search for an assistant or associate professor in bacteriology. It's pretty broadly defined. If you know anyone who's looking for a great department that does awesome science - please send them our way! You can DM me with any questions you have 😀

Congratulations to Calyssa Huff, my previous REU student and current ICARE postbac, on her NSF GRFP award! I am so proud of her hard work. Shout out to her UG mentor at NM tech, Dr. Daniel Jones, and her mentors through REU and ICARE!

I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/

The last few weeks have been brutal for scientists but today I saw a gorgeous and interesting talk by a grad student in our zebrafish group and had two fabulously productive meetings with my undergrad thesis students. Growth and discovery are still happening and it is a balm to my soul 🧪❤️

Just got the dreaded email. University of Iowa is halting all NIH grant submissions.
Losing a generation of scientists here will send the state backwards. What a travesty.

Couldn’t find a virology starter pack so here’s one to get the ball rolling. Repost/reply if you are a virologist so I can find and add you to the list!

Vaccines are LIFESAVING MIRACLES.
The HPV vaccine has been recommended in the US since 2006. New study out today shows that cervical cancer deaths in young women in the years that followed have plummeted, decreasing 15% per year from 2013-2015.
