While DNA seems to consistently grab the spotlight when it comes to genetics, RNA has an equally vital, but often undervalued, role. New Canaan Library is pleased to host a virtual presentation by Yale Science Communication, speaking on the topic “There’s More to the Messenger: the Wonderful World of RNA.” Tune in to the lecture on Thursday, June 16 at 7:00 PM EST. Zoom sign in information will be provided upon registration at newcanaanlibrary.org.
Have you appreciated your RNA lately? This tiny molecule is busy sending messages inside each of our cells, and that’s not all. Yale’s June Science in the News talk presents graduate students Matthew Steinsaltz, Brahmmi Patel, and Mikey Grunst discussing a few of the many ways in which RNA is more than just a messenger. The panel will explain how RNA is being used in exciting new technologies for gene editing; how RNA contributes to some dangerous diseases; and how RNA viruses and vaccines have changed history.
