RNA Collaborative Seminar SeriesInformation and Upcoming SeminarsThe RNA Collaborative is a grassroots effort led by several of the RNA research centers worldwide to provide an online seminar series during and beyond the institutional shut-down caused by COVID-19. The goal of the program is to promote and disseminate emerging RNA research and to establish and strengthen connections within the international RNA scientific community. Scientists are welcome to present all RNA-related research spanning from foundational discoveries to potential therapeutic applications. Host centers can choose to present in a number of formats, including but not limited to: seminars co-hosted between two institutions that entail one 60-minute event (each institute presents a 30-minute seminar), four poster sessions with introductory lightning talks, or a combination of talks and poster sessions. All seminars are slotted for one hour. Seminars are held virtually on the second Wednesday of each month, at either 10:00 am ET (2:00 pm GMT) or 4:00 pm ET (8:00 pm GMT). Additional seminar dates will be added to accommodate increased membership. Each seminar will remain an hour long, but will be hosted by two member centers, each with 1-2 speakers. Seminars are recorded and made freely available for viewing on the RNA Collaborative YouTube Channel. Seminars are open for viewing by all interested researchers, but prior registration is required to access the streaming content.
