SBME Research Seminar: The RNA folding problem remains open – Dr. Rhiju Das
The discovery and design of biologically important RNA molecules has lagged behind proteins, in part due to the general difficulty of three-dimensional RNA structural characterization. What are the prospects for an ‘AlphaFold moment’ for RNA? I’ll describe some recent progress in modeling RNA structure from old-fashioned and new machine learning, cryoelectron microscopy, and current and upcoming internet-scale competitions hosted on the Eterna, Kaggle, and CASP platforms.

SBME Propels: Mindfulness for Biomedical Engineers
January 25, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PST
Mindfulness for Biomedical Engineers
Learn stress management and mindfulness techniques for enhanced cognitive function and resilience. Join life sciences, yoga and mindfulness expert Søs Skovsø for this two-part series.
Dr. Skovsø’s area of research expertise is designing in vivo experiments. As an academic, she knows that it’s easy to get lost in research and to-do lists so she also teaches yoga, meditation, breathing and mindfulness as a way to remind academics to care for their mental health.
