GUESS WHO'S BACK! After some long-neglected editing, we bring you some very belated news from July 2018. The news is old but hopefully still entertaining. Isaac was out this month, so we were instead joined by Kirsten Jung, a graduate student in the Lucks Lab at Northwestern.

Here are some links to the papers and news we discuss in the episode:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0049-z
Engineering circular RNA for potent and stable translation in eukaryotic cells
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-05096-6
