SpotlightsIn recognition of the outstanding lives and accomplishments of our members, each month we profile two RNA Society members—one Full member and one Student/Post-doctoral Fellow member—as part of our Member Spotlight Series. Read about your colleagues’ career paths, their advice for succeeding in science, and their favorite RNA! Featured SpotlightsDr. Grover is a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Colorado College, a private liberal arts college in Colorado Springs, USA. Her research centers on understanding small RNA structure and function, but she’s also focused on integrating community outreach into undergraduate science education, and developing innovative methods to teach undergraduates about nucleic acids -especially RNAs. Dr. Belén Moro holds the position of Pre-Award Grant Manager at the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) in Barcelona, Spain, following 15 years of molecular biology research. She specializes in translating scientific findings into accessible and visually captivating stories for varied audiences. In this piece written by Patricia Baldrich, explore Belén’s journey through the RNA community—from her initial fascination with Xist, to her research in microRNAs processing, and her role as a Junior Scientist Representative for the RNA Society. |
