How do social signals and the nervous system regulate physiology, development, and aging?
Joined June 2016
Always wanted to know how male pheromones make the oogenic germline better? . Well, wonder no longer.

Pheromones exchanged by conspecifics are a major class of chemical signals that can alter behavior, physiology, and development. In particular, mal...

Dear. @Dev_journal . do you know what makes your claim of "format-free submission" a LOT less credible? . Having in place arcane formatting rules for submission! . This must change!.

Wow! . And wonderful!.
An amazing night at the #NobelPrize banquet celebrating with Dr. Ruvkun & Dr. Ambros! A huge achievement in the world of mRNA. #RNA #RNAtheraphy #mRNA #HiRM.

As the Nobel Award Ceremony is about to begin, a valuable lesson was reminded to us by the lectures given by Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun - the best science is driven by curiosity and genuine collaboration with friends and colleagues.

Turns out parental brains are thinking about offspring. @OdedRechavi .@schumacherbj .@MeitalOren . Impressive!.
Scared to share this after 10 freaking years of waiting but here we go: We found that temperature *perception* can change the next generations, even when “it’s just in the parents' head”. Read how C. elegans neurons control epigenetic inheritance!

Neurons regulate the germline.@OdedRechavi .@schumacherbj .Impressive!.
. and it doesn't end there: In a 2nd.@biorxivpreprint that we posted back-to-back with.@schumacherbj‘s lab we show that in addition to affecting epigenetic inheritance, temperature perception controls genetic inheritance via transposons!

Connectomes of synaptic wiring represent remarkable scientific achievements and are useful research tools. That said, much activity in the nervous system occurs via nonsynaptic signaling that is not represented in connectomes. Check out this review:.

Check out this interesting study!.

I ran 80,000 simulations. It's a rainy Tuesday night in every single one of them.

Oh, classy move, Yankee Fan!.
Yankees fans are doing anything they can to try to help their team beat the Dodgers. I've never seen anything like this — two fans literally trying to rip the ball out of Mookie Betts' glove. It was obviously ruled an out on a great catch from Betts.

Well done @doug_p !.
It was a pleasure and honor to talk with the thoughtful and engaging @JohnnyFoxe about the amazing nematode #celegans and the work we’ve been doing in the lab. If you’ve got half an hour to kill and want to hear me blather on about worms, give it a listen!.
