How can one not love the “Worm Community” !!! 🪱🪱👨‍🔬👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬👌🏼👌🏼 🫶🏼🫶🏼 #Worm25

I am excited (as usual) about attending #Worm25. But I am also sad that so many friends and colleagues can't be there. Because you know....insane policies and war and such. Hoping the science will provide at least a temporary distraction from the unending chaos.

Reproducibility is essential—but where to start? @nafisajadavji.bsky.social @funconn-worm.bsky.social @haeltermannele.bsky.social started ‪@repro4everyone.bsky.social to enable researchers to adopt reproducibility best practices. Learn more about a recent workshop: buff.ly/DLbVTdj 2/2🧵

Excited to announce a webinar on Thursday, June 5th, hosted by R4E @repro4everyone.bsky.social, featuring Helena Jambor (@helenajambor.bsky.social) discussing data visualization! Find more info and register at www.repro4everyone.org/blog/r4e-hos... #DataViz #AcademicSky

Super-excited to share that Journal of Emerging Investigators (#JEI) has launched the eiRxiv server. More power to #YoungInvestigators #EmergingInvestigators #HighSchoolScientists eirxiv.org

Love worms, molecular genetics, and big questions? We’re hiring a postdoc to build a CRISPRa toolkit to identify new aging mechanisms in C. elegans. Email or DM me to find out more. Please share & repost!

Nachum Ulanovsky's book "“Natural Neuroscience” on taking a more ecological approach to neuroscience came out! Nachum is one of the world leaders in studying the brain using bats, and his studies are always incredibly interesting and original. mitpress.mit.edu/978026204499...

By September, we will know how the C. elegans brain works, and be able to manipulate it.

Let’s see, who can answer this? Every product is the outcome of an #Idea, if we are a #Product, whose idea is it? #BiggestQuestion #Universe

On my way to Trenton! See you all soon 👍🏽 #StandUpForScience #SaveScience #Science4Everyone

One of the best #standupforscience signs of the day 🧪 🪱

Go Science!

What would it take for us to step back from the brink of losing a functional democracy? One step is court orders. Today, a small piece of good news for NIH. Another step is large-scale protest. Today I describe how these two components fit together: samwang.substack.com/p/for-us-sci...

Science is what I care the most. See you there! #StandUpForScience #SaveScience

#worm25 peeps - we get Gary & Victor! Abstracts due March 6th, which frees us up to #StandUpForScience2025 on March 7th!

We are talking about meta-analysis with @mikemalekahmadi.bsky.social on Thursday March 27th, 2025 11 AM ET/ 4PM CET All are welcome! Register here -->

Jersey - who will I see in Trenton next Friday? Amazing speakers include @samwang.bsky.social @rburdine1.bsky.social. #standupforscience2025! #scienceforall. RT 🧪 @annikabarber.bsky.social @cate-cholamine.bsky.social @matiset.bsky.social @thejersygirl.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

I am heading to DC for this. Hope people will go to their local marches if you can’t make it to DC. Let’s make some noise!!!

Be sure to sign up for our workshop and check out all the offerings for #LoveMethods2025. Check out details here:

R4E has another educational webinar planned! This time we are going to talk about how to carry out a meta-analysis with @mikemalekahmadi.bsky.social Thursday March 27th, 2025 11 AM ET/ 4PM CET All are welcome! Register here -->

Good idea! 👍🏽

For decades, NIH funding has fueled breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease and more. But a new policy puts progress at risk. We need Congress to oppose this abrupt change. Join me in emailing lawmakers today! #SaveNIHresearch bit.ly/4hxmfsK

👏🧪 Adding to this piece on the deafening silence of biopharma: NIH-funded academic labs train the industry workforce. If we go away, so do your workers

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

One of the great things about working in worms is that we have a caring community. But community doesn't just happen, we make it. At the C. elegans Mentor Match program, we are helping build mentorship relationships across and within career stages. Please sign up to be a mentor!

NSF has created an Executive Order Implementation webpage to ensure the widest dissemination of information and updates. We will continue to communicate with you as we receive additional guidance. new.nsf.gov/executive-or...

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.
