Excited to share my thesis work in Cori Bargmann's lab Rockefeller University! We found that C. elegans makes discrete foraging decisions that are coupled to behavioral patterns unfolding over multiple timescales and that sensory neurons mediate this coupling. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Monday, British afternoon: Elated to be continuing our Sussex Vision series within World Wide Neuro 🧠🗺️ with Damon Clark talking about "Incorporating visual evidence and counter-evidence to estimate self-movement"! Tom Baden Here: youtube.com/watch?v=CNZNaj…

Protein function is coupled to distinct branches of fatty acid metabolism - see Bingsen's PNAS paper "Amino acid- and protein-specificity of protein fatty acylation in C. elegans" just published at pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We are recruiting a post-bac researcher to join our lab in Yale MCDB! Ideal for a recent college grad looking to get in-depth research experience and mentoring in genetics & cell/molecular biology, working on exciting cilia-related projects. Details: breslowlab.yale.edu/news/postgradu…

Microbiota regulate conserved lipid metabolism via nuclear receptor signaling: see Bennett's paper "Evolutionarily related host and microbial pathways regulate fat desaturation in C. elegans" just published at Nature Commun.: nature.com/articles/s4146…

This just in - or should I say "on"? C. elegans has a skin microbiome & it is distinct from its surroundings. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Designed and performed almost entirely by the most talented UCSD BioSciences undergraduate (now Stanford University graduate student) Nadia Haghani.

Recruiting a research tech to join the growing Hilbert Lab Boston College Biology Department ! We're looking for curious scientists to help us build a supportive research environment and tackle adventurous new projects investigating host-fungal interactions. Apply: tinyurl.com/ev8bx7au Please RT!

Thank you to CellChemicalBiology for the opportunity to write this! It was fun to put to paper and maybe it'll resonate with some folks. Shoutouts to Stanford Biochemistry Rohatgi Lab and UChicago Chemistry, and also my dad who can now cite a paper in which I say 'My father was right' 😆

Hesitating whether to attend? Don’t!! Register and join the friendly C. elegans Neuro Community in Madison, WI. Retweet if you can! conferences.union.wisc.edu/ceneuro/

Excited to share our preprint on a new centriolar kinase-phosphatase module, with fantastic U-ExM microscopy by @CentrioleLab and Armando R! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Here we studied Ppp2r3c, a PP2A phosphatase regulatory subunit and hit from our prior cilia CRISPR screen…

May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes & Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders Awareness Month! As a disabled PhD student I wanted to remind others that 1 in 6 people worldwide – experience disability, -and 80% of those people are considered to have an "invisible" disability!👩🏻‍🔬The Ehlers-Danlos Society

Postdoc position alert - in Alex Cantó-Pastor's NEW lab at Yale. While we will miss him greatly, a new postdoc will be sure to benefit from his mentorship and will get to participate in a very exciting project at the intersection of development and immunity. Alex Cantó-Pastor

Check out this beautiful work by my former lab mate Jake Carrasquillo in the @BahmanyarLab 👏 Includes many cool findings on how CTDNEP1 and binding partner NEP1R1 regulate lipid synthesis at the ER and nuclear envelope! ✨👇

Our work on PPP2R3C-MAP3K1 at centrosomes is now out in Current Biology! authors.elsevier.com/a/1jpcA3QW8S6G…. Now with more functional analyses (lethality of PPP2R3C KO or FOP KO is suppressed by MAP3K1 KO) and more beautiful U-ExM expansion microscopy by Armando R and @CentrioleLab!

a personal update: in January, I'm moving to Yale to join Department of MCDB and to open my lab in the Wu Tsai Institute | Yale University Institute! We will investigate multicellular self-organization using synbio tools to read and write developmental signals in stem cell models. syndevbio.org

MCDB at Yale is seeking to fill a tenured Associate/Full Professor position. Candidates with interest in investigating outstanding questions in biology at the organismal, cellular or molecular level are encourage to apply. Apply at buff.ly/3NG6uSQ
