1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

Time for a 🧵 on our new paper from the Walkley lab in @scienceimmuno.bsky.social. If you're into RNA editing by ADARs, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) sensing, post-transcriptional gene regulation and CRISPR screening, then read on! 1/X www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #RNASky #ImmunoSky

GGNBP2 regulates MDA5 sensing triggered by self double-stranded RNA following loss of ADAR1 editing
GGNBP2, CNOT10, and CNOT11 are required for innate immune response after the loss of ADAR1-mediated editing of self dsRNA.
