Using C. elegans to detect cancer in dogs. Is there anything my favourite round worm can't do? 😆 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

🎉On this day, 25 years ago, the first complete animal genome sequenced was published in Science. 25 years later, this nematode is still a pioneer in many scientific fields. Long life to #Celegans research!

Happy Christmas 🎄 bbc.com/news/entertain…

🧩#ZeroPMPieces #16 In ZeroPM Pieces #16 Timur Baygildiev from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (inactief) presents an exciting new methodology to combine Effect Directed Analysis #EDA with non-target suspect screening to identify #PFAS, #PMT and other emerging substances Link youtu.be/xVFi56oSysU?si… 💙💧

A short but sweet message for the way home : “how was your day? Live the life”

Funded PhD in exploring endocrine disrupting chemicals in worms and fish - if you are interested please apply to work on this important topic! workingat.vu.nl/vacancies/phd-…

Good news out of the USA, but there is still a long way to go! Where do 'forever chemicals' in drinking water come from? bbc.com/future/article…

Very happy our new manuscript: Zebrafish and nematodes as whole organism models to measure developmental neurotoxicity is out 🤓 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Really excited to be part of this great research team

Quick trip to Texel! So far seen (non-GFP) jellyfish 🪼🪼

#ewm2024 we are here and ready for worm knowledge with old friends and new

Ready for day 2 in a lovely venue (Utrecht, Netherlands)

New paper! A long time in the making but super proud of the team effort across different disciplines : Combined MALDI with LC-MS for observing partial distribution of lipids in whole Caenorhabditis elegans …iencejournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rc…

New vacancy alert! I have a 2 year postdoc working with C. elegans in Amsterdam! Click on the link to apply before 15 September! workingat.vu.nl/vacancies/post…

MERLON brings together experts from 1⃣1⃣ partner institutions across 7⃣ European countries. ⚕️By shedding a light on the possible health impacts of endocrine disrupters, the project will protect human reproductive health. Get to know the partners: merlon.dtu.dk/consortium

I am part of a team organising a research topic in Frontiers in Toxicology : The need to add whole organism models to reduce uncertainties in developmental neurotoxicity testing strategies. We hope to see your submissions 🤓 frontiersin.org/research-topic…

A beautiful article from the New York Times highlighting how much of an impact C. elegans has had. As Sydney Brenner said: “Without doubt, the fourth winner of the Nobel Prize this year is Caenorhabditis elegans” nytimes.com/2024/10/17/sci…

Much excitement in the lab today - We got worms to grow and reproduce in axenic media! I find it amazing the worms could grow without a bacterial food source!

Interested in how pesticides impact the onset and progression of Parkinson’s disease? Do you have C. elegans experience? Then this postdoc is for you! workingat.vu.nl/vacancies/post…
