Excited to share our newest work! We asked whether RNA molecules need to be in a specific place in the cell to do their job. We found that a single RNA must reach the midbody, the structure that pinches two dividing cells apart, for cell division to finish efficiently. 馃У猬囷笍

New paper! How do RNAs "know" where to go inside a cell? We dug into the sequence elements that route RNAs to the right place. It turns out that, in mammals, they're surprisingly massive (>200 nt), multipartite, and wonderfully complicated. 馃У

In this time of introspection
On the eve of study section
I say to my reflection
God, please spare me more rejection
My reviewers criticize me
And my colleagues all despise me
Try to put it all behind me
But that funding cliff is nipping at my heels
