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. Cassandra Hayne just opened her lab at the University of Chicago, and her work focuses on uncovering the structural and biochemical basis of disease-relevant RNA processing complexes. In this month’s piece, written by Dr. Jennifer Porat, she shares the inspiration behind her decision to pursue a science career, her approach to mentorship, and her creative pursuits that have recently led to some very enviable lab gear. Dr. Luiz Passalacqua is currently a Research Fellow with Dr. Adrian Ferré-D'Amaré at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland (USA), where his research centers on using X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM to elucidate the structures of nucleic acid molecules. He is currently looking to take the next step of his career journey and is actively applying for tenure-track academic positions.
