Anybody got a spare ping pong ball?
Happy Hour and Beer Pong sound like a nice mix to me!

I'm back in buisness after a two weeks vacation following the ISMB/ECCB bioinformatics congress in Prague. Can't wait to have a beer with you guys on friday's Happy Hour!
-Vincent, the rep.

C'est bientôt l'heure du souper :D

Leurs recherches visent à maîtriser le comportement des ARN pour ainsi guérir…

Annual meeting 2015: students and student choice.

Hi to all of you RiboFans out there on benches and behind desks:

If you did not yet reserve your seat for the RiboClub 2012. Please do so now. You will be able to change your abstract up to the fourth of July. Seats are limited and as always I would like to be sure that the regular members of the lab get the chance to participate. Priority will be given based on the registration date and will be used to determine who stays in the main building of the hotel and who stays in the neighbouring building so please register as soon as you can. The registration information, meeting poster and the program are available here

http://riboclub.org/cgi-bin/OpeningSession/index.pl?page=opening_session&year=2012

Please be sure that your new RNA neighbours who are most like not in my list yet know about the meeting.

Hope to see you all in September.

Hi All:

The first monthly session of the 2011/2012 season of the RiboClub is next Monday. We are staring the new season with new policies and new hope that we could re-invent ourselves and restore the original informal atmosphere of the RiboClub session. So please participate in numbers and come with a lot of curiosity and a bag full of questions about the subjects. If you can drive to the RiboClub do so it is much better to participate in person. If not we are still offering the video conference option, but you will need to be patient with us, since we are still suffering from the strike. I sent the sites participating in videoconference e. mails to confirm their participation if you are in one of these sites and did not receive my mail, please contact me. If you did receive my previous e. mail, please confirm your participation.

Since this is the first session I will be asking first-time participants to introduce themselves in the beginning so please be sure that your first-year lab members attend so we could get to know them.

We have 4 talks on Monday as usual. Please note that the order is changed compared with the website listing. We will start with a trip in how bacterial regulates gene expression using a simple switch in RNA structure that has no simple impact on RNA synthesis and stability. Then, we will fly into how RNA contributes to establishing polarity, and we hope that we will learn in this talk our heads from our tails. After that we will move into how translation and splicing may affect, participate or induce human diseases. Expect really unexpected findings in the last two talks. The talks will start at 4 in Z7-4003 (not change of location compared with last year, direction is on the RiboClub site). The speakers promised not to discuss published material and will make every effort to make their topics understandable for all. The evaluation of the best seminars also changed. The students from this point on will put the emphasis on the communications skills, originality and capacity to explain the problems rather than the amount of results presented. The idea is to encourage young students to present and old students to present unpublished original data. .

Food will be available and the students promised that every session will be different. So come and chat over a beer or a slice of something :-).

Laurène BastetDaniel Lafontaine
Université de Sherbrooke Title: The dark side of the CoB12 riboswitch: from the switch to the regulation mechanism

Chiara GamberiPaul Lasko

Jean-Philippe BrosseauJean-Pierre Perreault

Please note that the students will not receive this e. mail automatically. Interested students will have to send me their e. mail to be included in the list. Otherwise they will receive the news from their representative of the RiboClub Facebook (yes the RiboClub Facebook is now online). Please be sure however that your colleagues who should receive e. mail from me do receive it.

The 2012 RiboClub meeting program is starting to take shape and I will start distributing and consulting the community in the next few weeks. I think it will be an exciting meeting. We should be able to have the program ready before the end of the year to allow all to plan their time around it.

If you have comments or advice please share them with us.

See you soon.
