The worms are in TOUCH with their feelings; it’s not just posture-ing!
I'm happy to share our latest work published in Current Biology. We demonstrate that C. elegans males sense cuticular cues and body stiffness to recognize mates. A wonderful journey in collaborations with @wormraiser @Pujol_lab

Excited to share a view and conceptual framework for achievable time-resolved autonomous adaptive data acquisition for hyperspectral imaging of living biological systems. Huge thanks to my co-authors (Hari, Derek, @BerkeleySynchIR, @wormraiser ) and to @AppliedPhysRev! 🙏
Artificial intelligence-enabled data acquisition can improve hyperspectral imaging and lead to a generalizable approach for studying complex systems. #scilight

Really cool: a high school student sequenced the first angelfish genome! ….and published it in microPublication Biology!@micropub7n
newscientist.com
17-year-old Indeever Madireddy sequenced the genome of his pet angelfish after it died – the first time this species has been sequenced

Fruit of a lovely collaboration with @vvkvnkt ‘s lab finds an interneuron downstream of pheromone sensation in the worm’s diapause vs reproductive decision.

If you've ever used a MOD or even PubMed (so, that means YOU!) please take 5 minutes to tell the NIH why those resources are important https://t.co/2jlLS9UbOp

Show your support for model organism databases by taking a few minutes to fill out this NIH RFI on User Experience with Scientific Data Sources and Tools. Responses are requested by October 15 and could help improve funding for MODs.

Without NIH support ALL model organism databases-a crucial component of biomedical research-are threatened. Make your voice heard: https://t.co/OTeBCJzBZF. Background info @ASCBiology @GeneticsGSA : https://t.co/WidA6TejFI

Nice photo! My new lab is on the top floor, left wing shared with David Prober’s lab.
Beauty and brains. Literally and figuratively. The bright minds and architecture of Caltech's Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute for Neuroscience building is a truly remarkable feat. 📷: @caltech #visitpasadena #pasadenaca #caltech #architecturephotography

I really miss traveling to give seminars: now, the night before before I give a zoom talk, I sit in a chair in my basement for 4.5 hours with my laptop and some weak coffee | tea and edit my talk. Then I FaceTime with my family from the guest bedroom.

Check out our new work (w/ @wormraiser and @_MikeOD_ ) in JACS! Specific assembly of modular glucosides (MOGLs) via carboxylesterase CEST-1.2 regulates starvation survival in C. elegans https://t.co/Pwr8ijB3SG

Along with Heidi Goodrich-Blair and @AdlerDillman, we are studying an awesome worm, the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema hermaphroditum.
biorxiv.org
Entomopathogenic nematodes, including Heterorhabditis and Steinernema , are parasitic to insects and contain mutualistically symbiotic bacteria in their intestines ( Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus,...

The Alliance is where I start when I am curious about any gene, human or from an intensively studied research organism. It just keeps getting better thanks to the dedicated developers and biocurators!
Alliance release 4.1 is live! This release is focused on high-throughput variants and pathways information.

In honor of the #Olympics We present highspeed videos of roundworms taking off on their Olympic quality jumps to ten times their height! @AdlerDillman
Steinernema carpocapsae jumps with greater velocity and acceleration than previously reported #micropublication #biology #data #newfinding

Thrilled to see @sciam featured our work on how oyster mushroom 🍄 poisons nematodes. @IMBSinica @SinicaFans @EMBO_YIP @EMBO
https://t.co/OiNONp5gyy How a Carnivorous Mushroom Poisons Its Prey via @sciam -- A great writeup by @JenniferFrazer on the nematocidal work of @fungi_worms

My now go-to genetic knowledgebase https://t.co/pZEtBS7UiX has a new release, with more harmonized data from worms, flies, mouse, yeast, fish, rats and human, and a first version of AllianceMine. @alliancegenome

Moving out of my old lab yesterday, we find history where a fridge used to be; zoom in to see if you recognize the tubes!
