Hi #RNASky 👋 - does anyone have thoughts/experience they would like to share re: #RNAScope vs #RNA #FISH? Even better if you've tried it in plants 🌱

If you don't feel comfortable sharing publicly please DM me

Much appreciated!

And we wrapped up the first edition of #AsiaRNA2025 yesterday - too many awesome talks to post. Thanks everyone for sharing mostly unpublished and rather exciting results. Posting a few highlights 👇

@stevenxge, not on Bluesky, on the new feature in iDEP: bioinformatics.sdstate.edu/idep/
New in iDEP: label your k-means clusters with enriched pathways—just a few clicks. Try it on your RNA-seq data today:

Thanks to the Centre for RNA Research for hosting and to our amazing sponsors Twist Bioscience , Seoul National University, RNA Japan and the @rnasociety.bsky.social for their generous support.

Both the science and Seoul are 🔥

The Asia RNA Club Symposium at Seoul National University 🇰🇷 started yesterday!

The Club begun as a remote meeting to connect with other #RNA researchers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting aims to boost and share the RNA research taking place in the Asia-Pacific region 🌏

#AsiaRNA2025

Tagging the right hashtag - #AsiaRNA2025

One of the best corners of the world indeed

좋은 아침이에요 Seoul! 🇰🇷

Here for the #AsiaRNAClub Symposium 2025!

Development vs climate action is a false choice.

In the agriculture sector, there are many actions that reduce climate pollution AND help farmers adapt to a changing climate.

An underappreciated one is helping smallholders sustainably boost productivity, reducing ag land expansion & deforestation.

Nice one! Here's one on campus this morning

🌱 Open PhD Position in Plant EvoDevo 🌱 Thinking about a PhD in plant evodevo? The Becker Research Group (JLU Giessen, Germany) has a fully funded 4-year PhD position in the ICIPS II research unit! 🎓 📍 Where? Gießen, Germany – great research environment & vibrant plant science network.

Some bonus highlights

We visited Sculptures by the Sea today from Bondi to Tamarama 🌊🏖️ - nice way to recover from all that writing.

Thanks for taking the time to catch up on a weekend and for the lovely hang out.

Papers, thesis, reports & grants - anything that needs to be written and hasn't. We try to do it every year, although we didn't have one last year because there was lots going on and not that much to write. FYI - there are also groups called 'shut up & write' that might be worth looking up

We booked a seminar room at uni for a week. Morning for writing, afternoon for revisions. It was intense. I would love to do the next offsite, but it can be tricky with a young family

I highly recommend it. It can be hard to find the time & focus otherwise

Wrapping up this year's #RegRNALab writing retreat with some pasta 🍝. We advanced on many drafts that should be out the door soon🤞🏽

Thanks everyone for your hard work!

Last day of #ARNASydney2025 and this cartoon from @xkcd.com is just particularly appropriate, so I had to re-share! #RNAsky
