Drumroll please...

Did you catch our conversation with #ListerFellow Chris Hill @chillzaa.bsky.social last week? Discover more about his exciting research into how RNA structure helps viruses hijack ribosomes. Read his insights (and big questions) lister-institute.org.uk/news/in-conv...

Hear from Jamie Terry and some of last year's other Lister Summer Studentship participants lister-institute.org.uk/news/to-bold... “The freedom I was given in the lab grew my confidence as an independent researcher,” Jamie says.

We chatted with @alexborna.bsky.social about his science journey so far, and how the #ListerPrize funding would fuel his rotavirus research lister-institute.org.uk/news/in-conv... "I think investing in people is always wise. If I can keep good people around... we can do more interesting science."

In our latest chat with #ListerPrize2025 Fellows, Chris Hill @chillzaa.bsky.social at @york.ac.uk shares insights into how enteroviruses use the 3D structure of RNA to hijack host ribosomes. 🔗 lister-institute.org.uk/news/in-conv... ♻️ Make Chris's day: A comment or repost is good for the soul 👇

Special thanks to current #ListerFellows @chillzaa.bsky.social @bcellsrosser.bsky.social @tjryan.bsky.social and former Fellows @corrigar.bsky.social and @agagambus.bsky.social for talking about the real impact that our flexible Prize funding makes to research careers and pursuing bold ideas!

Our thanks to Noel Lowndes RIA for hosting and Rory Guinness for sharing the story of our historical and current connections with the Guinness family. Excellent insights from trustee Julian Blow and Scientific Committee members @clionaofarrelly.bsky.social & Anne Rosser.

A fantastic day at the the Royal Irish Academy yesterday! We're raising awareness and encouraging applications to the #ListerPrize which is open to researchers from across the island of Ireland! Application to the 2027 Prize opens in July.
