🧪 Lab's latest!! Work by PD (and now PI) Alison Philbrook. C. elegans sensory neurons have gorgeous #cilia. We’ve always thought that a) no cilia = no sensory responses, & b) no IFT = no cilia. Punchline is we thought wrong. Read paper for more! #neuroscience journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Victor and Gary are just the smartest, nicest and most curiosity-driven scientists I know. This also highlights the importance of studying diverse organisms, and emphasizes how shortsighted it is to dismiss a finding because it has no 'relevance to human health'. www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medic...

Worm picks made, and crosses started. Seems like a good time to announce the Harris lab at Georgia State University!

Unsure how to do threads here yet but here's our latest preprint from GS Tyler Hill 🎉. He describes multiple feedforward and feedback mechanisms involving cGMP and Ca2+ that drive response adaptation on a timescale of mins in a single thermosensory neuron pair. 🧠🟦 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
