RNA therapeutics landscape (private and public). From Cowen's recent RNA review.

1) Since breaking the story on the landmark report on systemic racism at the McGill University Health Centre, I've received more tips from sources about discrimination in the medical sector. I urge others to contact me at [email protected]. montrealgazette.com/news/local-new…

1/ New paper! nature.com/articles/s4158… with Sam Zhang is logged off @aaronclauset.bsky.social @DanLarremore. 🎓 We analyzed all 295K tenure-track faculty at US PhD-granting universities in 10,612 departments over 10 years to quantify hierarchy and dynamics in US faculty hiring and retention. 🦥 A summary:

Thank you Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society organizing committee and volunteers for a wonderful #OTS22 experience! Seems like we had to make up for two years of missed wrap parties last night 😆 can’t wait for OTS 2023 in Barcelona!

On October 11 we extracted the largest single catch for System 002 to-date; 10,086 kg of plastic removed from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch after only 6.5 days, bringing us to a total of 145,518 kg extracted so far.

Congratulations Roberto El Khoury - I feel very privileged to have been able to work with you all these past years - you always wear a smile, and are so kind to everyone ⁦around you⁩. We will dearly miss you the Damha Research Group and Luedtke labs! We wish you the best!

Thanks to the MSSI McGill for funding this work initially and to the ACS Green Chemistry Institute for funding the next phase!

Thanks to a collaboration that spans great distance but feels so close between Carlos Gonzalez CSIC IQF-CSIC and Vyacheslav Filichev Massey University we present in Nucleic Acids Res rb.gy/n5zg9f the structure of an antiparallel DNA triplex modified with TINA.

Happy to announce our most recent publication!
