Yesterday the very talented Laura Grunenkovaite graduated Brandeis with the highest honors & as her mentor for the past 3 years I am very proud but sad to see her leave! She is off to work at my alma mater UMass Chan Medical School before applying to med school! Huge future ahead of her! 🥳🥳


🎉New preprint from our dauer aficionado Travis Kyani-Rogers! Q: does an animal’s developmental experience shape its adult behaviors? A:👍🏽! We find that worms that took different developmental paths exhibit different responses to attractive odors as adults. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This paper is now out! Great job by all authors and especially @nathanCSharris and Sam Bates. Preprint #tweetorial is below. Many thanks to Current Biology for a fast and fair review process. authors.elsevier.com/a/1gpf23QW8S2P…



A wonderful talk by my labmate @nathanCSharris !! More thermo fun to come at Sam’s poster (more Piali Sengupta) tonight at 625B! #worm23









🎉New lab preprint! 🔥🔥work by super postdoc Alison Philbrook. C. elegans sensory neurons have gorgeous #cilia at their dendrite ends. We’ve always thought that a) no cilia = no sensory responses, & b) no IFT = no cilia. Punchline is we thought wrong. Read on for more. 1/6

Another terrific #ceneuro24 topics meeting in the books! Highlights included: Session keynote from Mike Poster from Samuel Liu Catching up with old friends Alison Philbrook Navonil Banerjee



Now that we're entering faculty job season, I want to reshare my ✨job search advice doc✨. It compiles all the super helpful advice I received from mentors & includes my own experiences on the market. Best of luck out there, everyone - you got this! 💪 helpimascientist.com/wp-content/upl…
