    RNA Society Newsletter Aug 2016 From the Desk of the President, Sarah Woodson Greetings to all! I always enjoy attending the annual meetings of the RNA Society, but this year’s meeting in Kyoto was a standout in my opinion. This marked the second time that the RNA meeting has been held in Kyoto as a joint meeting with the RNA Society of Japan. (The first time was in 2011). Particular thanks go to the local organizers Mikiko Siomi and Tom Suzuki who took care of many logistical details, and to all of the organizers, Mikiko, Tom, Utz Fischer, Wendy Gilbert, David Lilley and Erik Sontheimer, for putting together a truly exciting and stimulating scientific program. Of course, the real excitement in the annual RNA meetings comes from all of you who give the talks and present the posters. I always enjoy meeting old friends and colleagues, but the many new participants in this year’s meeting particularly encouraged me.

MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAM MANAGER The Human Research Program (HRP) continues to make excellent progress toward under- standing and mitigating the health and performance risks that challenge NASA’s ability to fly exploration missions beyond low Earth orbit. Our access to space this year was unprecedented; our access to medical data improved substantially; our cooperation with international partners expanded; and, for the first time, NASA engineers asked for our requirements before beginning to design a new space vehicle. By any measure, FY2014 was a banner year with numerous accomplishments, and I am honored to share some of our significant highlights.

  • Want to Know More About Mrna Before Your COVID Jab?
    Want to Know More About mRNA Before Your COVID Jab? — A primer on the history, scope, and safety of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics by Kristina Fiore, Director of Enterprise & Investigative Reporting, MedPage Today December 3, 2020 Clinicians will start rolling up their sleeves in just a few weeks to get their first doses of COVID-19 vaccines, both of which use mRNA technology to induce an immune response. For those who want more information on the history and science of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics before getting their jab, here's a primer. How It Works Biologically, messenger RNA is transcribed from DNA and travels into a cell's cytoplasm where it's translated by ribosomes into proteins. For the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, the synthesized mRNA is cloaked in a lipid nanoparticle in order to evade the immune system when it's injected. Once it's inside a cell, the ribosomes will get to work pumping out the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. The immune system then mounts a response to that protein, conferring immunity to the virus without ever having been infected by it. Essentially, instead of pharma producing the proteins via an expensive and difficult process, mRNA enlists the body to do the work. The capability to produce mRNA so rapidly is one reason these vaccines are out front in the global race for a COVID-19 vaccine. Never Been Done Before? That's not completely true. While an mRNA vaccine has never been on the market anywhere in the world, mRNA vaccines have been tested in humans before, for at least four infectious diseases: rabies, influenza, cytomegalovirus, and Zika.

They have been selected to participate in several workshops and pitches such as: IDW Visions du Réel; Cross Video Days; Docs Barcelona. ABRA ENSEMBLE Hall I + Abra Ensemble (Performance Space Exhibition) ABRA Ensemble's works aspire to undermine existing power structures as they express themselves in the voice, language patterns and ways of speech. They seek rather communal, feminist strategies of composition, listening and creative-coexistence. Exposing the emergence of the music itself, ABRA Ensemble bridges the existing limits between contemporary virtuoso vocal art and the performative, transformative encounter with an audience. In the five years since its founding in 2013, the ensemble has performed at a diverse range of venues in Israel and Europe, released a debut album and gained considerable recognition both in the new-music and contemporary performance scene. YARON ABULAFIA Jury Member 2019 / PQ Ambassador Yaron Abulafia has designed over 200 theatre and dance performances, installations, concerts and television shows internationally. He has designed for the Netherlands Dans Theater, the English National Ballet, Rambert Dance Company, Staatsballett Berlin, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba and the Hungarian State Theatre of Cluj in Romania – to mention but a few.
