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. Naama Aviram, a postdoctoral researcher in the Marraffini Lab at Rockefeller University in New York, shares her remarkable journey from marine biology to organelle biology in eukaryotic cells and CRISPR-Cas mediated microbial immunity. Dr. Sezen Meydan is an assistant professor of Biochemistry at Vanderbilt University studying the multiple roles ribosomes play in protein synthesis and as sensors of cellular stress. In this month’s piece, written by Dr. Jennifer Porat, she shares her passion for translation, the ways her mentors have influenced her approach to science, and the benefits of being surrounded by other RNA researchers.
