The writer Joanna Weiss spent time visiting my lab and our local worm meeting and talking with us. She highlights curiosity-driven science, the humor and supportiveness of the community, and the need for funding. "Put simply: If you want to understand how cells work, it’s useful to ask a worm."

Delighted to share this timely article in Boston magazine on our local C. elegans community and the effects of NIH freezes. "There might be no group more enthusiastic, self-aware, or life-affirming than the worm people." www.bostonmagazine.com/news/c-elega...
