Dynamic regulation of neuronal Vault trafficking and RNA cargo by the noncoding RNA, Vaultrc5

Vaults are large ribonucleoprotein complexes of unknown function in neurons. Here, we report that the Vault-associated noncoding RNA, Vaultrc5, is highly enriched at the synapse and is required for ac...

Haven’t cycled in town in ages but really hadn’t geared myself up again for the lack of space for cycling. The city REALLY needs to improve for road users other than cars, buses & trucks. Most of my headspace was taken up hoping I’d make it home to my kids in one piece! Do better DCC… 🛻🚙🚚🚛🚌🚴‍♂️🚑

Very few Dutch cyclists wear helmets. Yet theirs are among the safest streets on earth. Why? They understand it’s more beneficial to calm motor traffic, build dedicated infrastructure, and nurture a culture of everyday cycling. Not force the most vulnerable users to armour up. youtu.be/P7trv9paMxA

Ten simple rules for developing good reading habits during graduate school and beyond To me, the most important are: Read often, read broadly (incl. older papers and outside your field), and learn to read some papers in detail and others more superficially (and quickly)

Ten simple rules for developing good reading habits during graduate school and beyond by Marcos Méndez
1: Develop the habit of reading on a daily basis
2: Read thoroughly to build a sound background understanding of your topic
3: Do not ignore the pillars of your discipline; read the classics
4: If you have to get familiar with a new topic, consider reading in chronological order
5: Avoid narrow-mindedness by reading beyond your discipline
6: Create a list of relevant journals
7: Not all interesting stuff will appear in articles; read books
8: Use a reference manager to keep track of your literature
9: Keep a long-term review for your own use as a way to remember what you read
10: Build your own library to make yourself independent and inspire others

Amazing single molecule biochemistry on mRNA cap recognition! Surprising results for eIF4A and 4E/4G that motivate reinterpretation of prior work.

A few yrs ago we spent $10K on trialing antibodies. Only a few worked well. The good news is we got refunds for everything that didn’t work! Just need to push the companies. Don’t suffer in silence! Great to see more effort/avenues for improving reliability and reproducibility of Abs! #immunosky
