I recently returned from the symposium ‘From RNA Pools to Single RNA Molecules’ (March 23rd to 24th) organized by the Integrated Research Institute (IRI) for the Life Sciences in Berlin. It was a scientifically very stimulating meeting and provided the opportunity to visit colleagues that recently joined the newly founded institute. I am very grateful for the invitation and the opportunity to present some of our work on how proteins control translation. Many thanks for inviting me!
