PACT suppresses PKR activation, thus preventing activation of the integrated stress response, NF-κB, and cell death. Dimerization and double-stranded #RNA binding by PACT is required for this function. bit.ly/4oC3Vm7 @KyleCottrell @PurdueBiochem @PUCancerInst

As someone from an extremely poor background who excelled academically (perfect scores in math meets, captain of mock trial team, award for highest state test scores, etc), this merit argument is a joke. It was hard at every level for me to succeed in academic environments:
I believe in MERIT. The issue is that historical systems in the US excluded the poor, women, and racially minoritized groups from competing. Multiple practices have allowed the impacts of this exclusion to persist. 1/5.

Going into college, Kyle Cottrell knew he loved science but didn't know what a career in science could be. At OTC he discovered biology and the path to a Ph.D. and research in RNA and cancer cells. It all started with an A+ scholarship at OTC! His story: myotc.in/3A5IzFL🦅

I’m working on a research team lab manual. What should be included?? I’m trying to think of all the little things I didn’t know as a first gen student who knew little about research and working on a research team.

It's my great pleasure to present the first preprint from SheqLab: a tech-dev project that we think will transform RNA biology. If you want to discover the cellular factors an RNA interacts with—practically any RNA, in nearly any context—I think you'll want to try O-MAP. (1/19)

I cannot teach about RNA editing without raving about cephalopods, which have temperature dependent editing. This 2012 classic shows that octopuses edit K+ channels to speed kinetics at polar temperatures! doi.org/10.1126/science.1212…

Just a reminder: the NIH *correctly* recognizes people from low-income families as under-represented in science. For some of us, you can’t tell by our names or by how we look but our life-long struggle for an education and an academic career is real.
