I took some of the RNA sequence encoding the COVID spike protein and made this shirt to wear when I get my COVID vaccine. This RNA biologist is EXCITED about this new technology!
If you want a celebratory tshirt they can be found here! https://www.redbubble.com/people/Courtney-Hersh/shop?anchor=profile&asc=u&fbclid=IwAR3D650_zZ8sGaxeVN-xn887ZW2RdUuZBP9I5yK3qVnoXvF2N8n9Lti00IE

Hey everyone!!! Wanted to say hi as I just became a mod in this subreddit. Worked to open up the subreddit to no longer require permission to post. Lets see how the spam goes with that off and hopefully we can get more engagment in the sub now. Hope you all stay safe out there.
I am a commercial biologist looking to get more educated in the space of RNA therapeutics - vaccine development, mRNA therapies, gene therapy, etc. What are the best/most respected RNA dedicated conferences in the USA? What do you like about them?
During your next study break, check out Eterna's newest puzzle for designing 240mer RNA to fold into compact pseudoknots. The puzzle provides a metric for counting the number of pairs that cross to form large, synthetic pseudoknots such as this one from Father_Z.
Eterna is hosting its annual online conference this weekend on both Saturday and Sunday with presentations from Berkeley, Northwestern, Oregon State, Stanford, Penn State, and ESPCI-Paris. Full program and free registration at https://eternagame.org/eternacon/2025
