The CRB hosted the 3rd Annual Schoenberg Lecture November 9 - 10, 2025. This annual event honors Dr. Daniel Schoenberg’s two decades of leadership in promoting RNA science at OSU. Dr. Schoenberg was the founding Director of the CRB and this annual event is designed to celebrate the triumphs of RNA research with the scientific community and the general public.
This year’s lecture was presented by Dr. Craig Mello of UMass Chan Medical School, 2006 Nobel Laureate. His engaging public lecture, was co-sponsored by the College of Arts & Sciences’ Science Sundays, and drew a near-capacity crowd of nearly 500 attendees at the Fawcett Center, while Monday’s scientific seminar filled 170 DHLRI beyond capacity.
Following the public lecture, CRB trainees presented 11 outstanding posters in a lively session designed to communicate their research to a lay audience. The judges—Dr. Susan Lang (English), Dr. Blake Szkoda (Forge Biologics), and Dr. Aru Kavoor (Postdoctoral Researcher)—commended all participants and noted how difficult it was to select winners.
Congratulations to the poster award winners!
