May Science Cafe Reminder
Theresa Tittle
Don’t forget we Science Café Norman is brewing at the library tomorrow evening – Thursday May 9th at 7 pm
This month Dr. Susan Schroeder’s OU students will present a poster session on Small RNA Makes a Big Difference in Cancer and Human Diseases.
Did you know that your chances of getting a sunburn and skin cancer may depend on how many RNA signals your cells turn on after exposure to sun light? Do you know how many small RNAs regulate cancer gene expression? No one knows yet the full count but this is one of the most exciting areas of cancer research. Did you realize that RNA can be a therapeutic molecule or a drug target? Have you ever taken a Z-Pack? The antibiotic in a Z-pack binds to bacterial RNA and thus prevents bacterial growth.
Come to this special Science Café Norman to learn more about the role of RNA in cancer.
Hope to see you tomorrow evening in the Lowry Room.
