Research Seminar: “A chemical biology toolbox for probing A-to-I RNA editing.” RNA undergoes extensive modification through enzymatic post-transcriptional editing events. Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing is one of the most widespread and impactful of these modifications and is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs). Resulting inosines base pair with cytosine, essentially re-coding adenosine sites to guanine. Editing is essential for a number of processes including embryogenesis, neurological function, and innate...

Mentorship seminar: “Why success is more likely when you’re willing to fail.” Failure can be a word that makes us cringe, yet most of us appreciate its value…at least in some areas of our lives. If we’re playing sports or busy at a hobby and find ourselves faced with a situation where failure is possible (or even likely), often we don’t even hesitate before pushing forward and giving it our best try. Think about a soccer player dribbling the ball down the field and suddenly realizing they have an open shot on goal. Failure is possible, but chances are they take...

Public lecture: “Navigating the choices that shape your career.” Chemistry and other STEM fields can open the door to a wide range of career options, which then creates the questions such as “how do I choose the best career path for me?” and “what steps should I take if I want to pursue that career?” This talk will outline some key considerations and questions to ask yourself as you think through your future career choices. We will also discuss a variety of different job opportunities in STEM ranging from academia to biotechnology to policy making, and what it...
