Any RCN members interested in attending the upcoming workshop at UNLV, Accessing Approaches to Study Epigenetic Regulation, should register as soon as possible if they’ll be requesting travel funding from the RCN.
Selections will likely be made around mid-April and the option to apply will be removed from the registration form at that time.
We hope to see you there!

I have been involved in projects that extract steroid hormones from keratin tissues since reading about the extraction of cortisol from grizzly bear hair by Brian Macbeth and coauthors in 2010. This led to work with harbor seal… Read more

The research is conducted at Instituto Butantan, an institute known for the research on poisonous snakes and the production of antivenom in Brazil. The study of venom composition and variability involves different levels of organization, and one of the aspects explored is the… Read more

It was a Saturday afternoon in February 2019 when I received a message from Dr Vera da Silva from the National Institute for Amazonian Research inviting me to have dinner at her place with some visiting researchers. My plan for that night in Manaus, Brazil, was to have some friends at home before joining the biggest and wildest (and most famous) street party in Brazil, Carnival.
