Shahrzad’s Riboclub Experience

Last week, I attended the Riboclub 15^th Annual RNA meeting. As my studies are focused on a small regulatory RNA, this meeting was a valuable experience. It allowed me to learn more about RNA and meet some of the leading experts in the field. It was a nice surprise that Dr. Smolke, whose works I have cited many times, was chosen to give the Student Choice Seminar. Poster sessions provided a nice opportunity to exchange ideas about my research with the other scientists. Not only the scientific program was fantastic but also I am happy that I got to experience a little the Quebec culture (esp. their music for the first time) and nature in this beautiful season!
