We are delighted to announce our next RNA Society Member Spotlight!
rnasociety.org/samantha--sam…
Samantha (Sam) Lisy shares her unconventional path to a career in science as a PhD candidate in Biochemistry at Vanderbilt University located in Nashville, Tennessee (USA). In this piece, written by Courtney Whilden and edited by Dr. Jennifer Porat, Sam describes how her unique experiences as a former elite athlete have made her a better scientist.
Thanks for the kind words! I’ll be there- looking forward to seeing you, maybe we can get a run in together!
Excited to dive into @samlisy_'s @RNASociety Spotlight about mixing sports & science to reach one's potential, my favourite combination 🤩. I believe that being yourself is enough to become a successful scientist. Hope to see you at the #RNA24 Sam!

I am excited and honored to have been nominated and given such a great write-up in the @RNASociety monthly Member Spotlight!

Join us for Colloquium tomorrow! We'll be hearing from @samlisy_, a grad student in the @AscanoLab! LH 202 at noon. Food served starting at 11:45.
One of the many reasons why I love @VUbretASPIRE- To top off a fruitful career exploration course, they got us fresh business cards!
I had the honor of presenting at the 28th @RNASociety Conference in Singapore. I received many questions, had very fruitful conversations, and am excited to stay connected with all the bright scientists that I met.
Winding down a whirlwind week in Singapore.
We had the best time talking science and meeting new and old friends at #RNA23. @AscanoLab @RNASociety @VandyBiochem
Thank you! And thanks to you and your lab with the computational help 🤗
Very cool strategy and wish I were there to see @samlisy_ crush it 😁

Winding down another great day at #RNA23 🇸🇬, with @samlisy_ and colleagues. Singapore slings! @RNA_biologist @HoggLab @NRGuydosh @RNASociety

Awesome talk by @samlisy_ about her work on the antiviral RBP IFIT1 and the identification of its host-encoded capped RNA targets, using an elegantly simple addition to CLIP-seq approaches. Basic principles leading to discoveries. @RNASociety @VandyBiochem @neelmukherj
Grateful to have had to opportunity to present at #RNA23

If you’re thinking you haven’t had enough ADAR, RNA editing or innate immune signalling (can you ever?) at this #RNA23 then come along to the Technologies session this afternoon where I’ll present our unpublished work. @samlisy_ also talking about anti-viral responses. 🥳 – at Central Region, Singapore
The perfect 1-2 punch to finish the Technologies 2 session at #RNA2023. See you soon!
Speaking of which… come see me talk about discovering a previously overlooked subset of transcripts at the Technologies II concurrent session. Happy to chat more after too 🤗 #RNA23

Thanks to everyone for coming to our social tonight! We hope you met many new scientists and we will announce the raffle winners at our career panel on Friday!

Thrilled to finally share our work that’s out in @NatureSMB today! Thanks to my awesome PI @JamesMDewar for his mentorship and our collaborators @davidkcortez @Wen37573326. @VandyBiochem is an amazing place! Excited to see what this work leads to! 🐸🧬👩🏻🔬 nature.com/articles/s41594-0…
Does that mean bagels will be toasted? 🧐😉
Our last Colloquium of the semester is this Friday at noon! Lindsey Guerin (@GuerinLindsey) from the @Hodges_Lab will be presenting. Food is TBD - but it will be free, hot, and delicious!
