Want to quantify RNA editing without sequencing or see where A-to-I edited RNAs are in cells? We’ve got an app for that! Thrilled to see the EndoVIA method pioneered by Alex Quillin, Benoit Arnould, and Steve Knutson published in ACS Central Science! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

EndoVIA detects adenosine-to-inosine editing in cells, providing spatial visualization and quantification of overall inosine abundance with nanoscale resolution NEW #ASAP by Jen Heemstra Heemstra Lab WashU Chem Read it here: go.acs.org/ahj

Please check out our new publication reviewing our #mentalhealth & #wellness workshop! We provide our #STEM community with tips & tools to facilitate your own workshop! Thank you for continuing these critical community discussions! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jm…

to answer this question in Jen Heemstra's talk, I had to think of the new KTH Royal Institute of Technology Organic Chemistry Division Synthesis Club that I am co-chairing together with Gregory Alvey ⚛️🤝 discussing org chem and bringing us all closer together 🫶

@UTSW_PROVIDES welcomes Dr. Jennifer Heemstra (Jen Heemstra), Professor and Chair of WashU Chem. Seminar: A chemical biology toolbox for probing A-to-I RNA editing September 16th at 12-1 pm NG3.112 Auditorium

Career Advice | A Leadership Position We Aren’t Prepared For Faculty members who run a lab have a research job and a leadership job, but they are often only trained for one of those, @WUSTL's Jen Heemstra writes. bit.ly/3T7fTGb

My first op-ed is out! Starting my faculty career was challenging in many ways, and one of those is that I had a leadership job that I didn't expect and wasn't (really) prepared for. Thanks to Inside Higher Ed for the chance to write about this and share some advice!

Me: Hey HPLC did my starting material convert to my product? My HPLC:

Had a blast at the birthday celebration / group reunion for my undergrad advisor over the weekend and a bonus was finding my old lab notebooks in the group room. E-notebooks are more efficient, but there’s something special about revisiting your handwritten data 25 years later.

Super proud of Bridger for awesomely presenting his undergraduate research this morning. It was a blast!!!

🎉 Congrats to our lab members #Ellie #Mason and #Tatiana for presenting their CHEM358 projects! 👏 Your hard work and creativity are inspiring. We’re proud of your achievements & excited to see you shape the future of research! 🚀🔬 #UndergraduateResearch #FutureScientists💃😎💃

🎉 Hurray! 🎉 Kicking off 2025 with a bang! 🚀 ✅ First lab group meeting of the year 🎉 Celebrating our DTRA grant 📄 Manuscript accepted! 🎂 Boss's birthday tomorrow—let the festivities begin! #NewYear #LabLife #Celebrations

RNase L cleaves most tRNAs in the anticodon loops into various tRNA-derived RNAs (tDRs) including 5'-tDRAla that shows a translation inhibitory effect. Some tRNAs are also cleaved in variable loops. bit.ly/3YTwlNq

Navigating uncertainty does *not* mean you are accepting what is happening around you. Rather, it helps you maintain your strength and focus so you can stand up for your values and advocate for what is important. Check out the video for four steps for navigating uncertainty.
