Belated post! If you haven’t seen our recent work science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… , here’s a 🧵 highlighting the two techniques we developed to study subcellular populations of mammalian ribosomes and some cool findings these tools helped us uncover: (1/18)

Hey #sciencetwitter, know anyone who would like to come work with two awesome labs at Stanford on vaccine stabilization? Tell them about our team! See below:

Barna Lab @mbarnalab Jan 9, 2021

1. The Barna and Das laboratories are seeking to stabilize COVID-19 mRNA vaccines to enable world-wide immunization with collaboration with a leading industry consortium. We are looking for two research assistants with backgrounds in experimental RNA molecular biology to join.
