🧠 How does your brain mature over time? HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholar HaoSheng Sun is exploring the genetic timing mechanisms that guide the maturation of the nervous system.

Congrats to all the poster winners, especially @shelbynlauzon.bsky.social and @dcpatterson0713.bsky.social representing @uabcdib.bsky.social! #Worm25

Presenting 2 poster at the same time was an interesting experience that I shouldn’t do again.😂 Big shout out to my copresenters (Dalton and Audrey) that helped me navigate last night, you are both rockstars!! #Worm25

Busy day 3 at #Worm25! 5 posters presentations and a lab lunch!

Fantastic Day 2 of #Worm25. 2 amazing talks by Gabbi and Craig, and 1 fantastic poster by Amit. 5 more posters coming at you on Day 3.

Favorite moment of the day: "Do Genetics" -Nobel Prize Winner Gary Ruvkun #worm25

Fantastic 1st opening night of #Worm25. Excited for the 1st full day (Sunday) tomorrow...Sun Lab has dueling ⚔️ talks in the 1st parallel sessions between #TeamGeneticTimer vs. #TeamEnvironment as well as a poster at night.

Time flies. It has been 10 years first my first IWM! Can't wait to introduce the next generation of scientists to the amazing 🪱 community! Sun Lab members have worked hard and are ready to share their science at #Worm25. Stay tuned for daily preview of work that will be presented at #Worm25

End of an era for the Sun Lab! Molly Reynolds and Ananya Theneti, the last two of the first cohort of undergrads are leaving the nest! 🥹It has been incredible to see their growth as young scientists, and I cannot wait to see them continue to flourish in their careers!

Super fun and invigorating visit by the incomparable Victor Ambros as part of @uabcdib.bsky.social trainee-selected Michael Miller Memorial Seminar! Amongst the chaos of the world, it was a good reminder of the reasons and motivations that got us all into research in the first place 🧐🤓

Sad to not retain @csybio.bsky.social in the US but so incredibly excited for what’s to come! Run, don’t walk, to get in on the ground floor of some really exciting science!

So fun to host @csybio.bsky.social at UAB this past week!

hanging out this week with @mus-elegans.bsky.social , so much great science and vibes at UAB! tbh what even is a neuron? we shall find out!

By no means an exhaustive list of, but here is a list of #wormSky #Celegans or related researchers that will enrich your feeds! Please repost and reply with others that you recommend as well! #AcademicSky go.bsky.app/HP1h3nW

The Sorrells Lab is hiring a lab manager! Exciting projects on mosquitoes, excellent benefits through HHMI, and great colleagues. Please share! hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

Happy Halloween! 🍌

New Job Alert! We are looking for postdoctoral candidates who are passionate about developing and optimizing genomics and biochemical methods to profile molecular composition of C. elegans and mouse nervous system in order to understand fundamental questions in neuronal development and plasticity!

You can take the C(anadian) 🇨🇦 to the South but you can’t take the C(urling) 🥌 out of the Canadian. #SunLabGoesCurling
