3% for Science, 100% for Poland! Poland's science sector goes on a protest tomorrow! We need proper investments in R&I #3procentnanauke www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It would be fantastic to see it happen! 2y ago, I was the pebble that started this by suggesting the transfer of funds as a way to boost PL science, in discussions held by @forumakademickie.bsky.social & PAS at the start of the new government. Thanks to all the people and institutions involved!💪

Now out in FEBS Journal - the RNA binding properties of human FASTK, a regulator of mitochondrial metabolism and a potential target for autoimmune diseases therapies! Congrats to Daria & mito team Dawid Mikołaj 🎉 big thank you @ncn.gov.pl #NCNtoTlen doi.org/10.1111/febs...

Although FASTK is known to play a role in mRNA biology, the mechanism through which it recognizes RNA has yet to be unraveled. Here, we used purified human FASTK to characterize its RNA-binding prope...

Naukowcy w Polsce funkcjonują w tej samej, opowiadanej ciągle od nowa historii. W której wszyscy znają diagnozę i recepty, ale zmieniają się tylko drobiazgi. Tak to widzę. Analiza stanu nauki w Polsce poleca się do czytania. wyborcza.pl/magazyn/7,12...

We have been granted our first patent on the method of mRNA enrichment for sequencing or diagnostics. If you're interested in pppRNA or cap 0 RNA, we're happy to help! Cap 0 example: IFIT1 replaces eIF4E for yeast and will work for fungi, plants and many lower eukaryotes🦠🍄🌱 doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

I was playing around trying to make a nice "hello world" image for bsky debut💃 I don't quite know how I ended up with this one, but hey it makes sense, each one has a lamp to bask under😹 so here is "structural biology group working on antifungal drugs" by Copilot 😅 plus ofc 🐈‍⬛️🐈 make everything better
