When I spoke with Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun back in 2022 about their discovery of microRNAs in C. elegans, Ruvkun noted that their findings were cast aside as an oddity in worms. “There was always a view that worms were quirky and weird,” he noted. 🧵

Textbooks often depict proteins as nicely folded three-dimensional structures, but many proteins are far from it. Learn all about intrinsically disordered proteins in my latest feature for @TheScientistLLC !
Very nice article by @dmgerhard on “The Dynamic Lives of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins” with quotes from @G_T_Heller, @alexholehouse and myself about our shared love of and fascination with these proteins https://t.co/KUXVUVUkAD

I recently wrote about how neurons, with their tiny cell bodies and expansive volumes, maintain thousands of independent connections, many of which are far from the cell body. đź§ Thanks to @erin_schuman @Kelsey_C_Martin @angalus_d for speaking to me about their research.
Dive into the intricate world of neurons in this new article published in @TheScientistLLC and discover how decentralized translation shapes our memories. A must-read for all #Neuroscience and #MemoryResearch enthusiasts. 👉 https://t.co/KV83hLJqev
