May 25–June 5 | 26th Annual Meeting of The RNA Society (virtual)
REGISTRATION IS OPEN
RNA 2021 On-line boasts an expanded scientific program and extensive networking and professional development opportunities for participants. Visit the meeting website for full details and to register: https://www2.rnasociety.org/conferences/rna-2021/.
New for 2021, the RNA Society has launched an initiative to encourage meeting participation and inclusion of RNA researchers who might not otherwise be able register for RNA 2021 – the RNA 2021 Inclusion Initiative. This program provides complementary registration for RNA Society members who are first-time meeting attendees or who affiliate with a broad group of under-represented RNA researchers.
Registered meeting participants can submit abstracts until March 1st, 2021, for consideration for an oral presentation, and April 15th, 2021 for poster presentation.
