C. elegans initiating a small RNA response

Very excited to be back at the Epigenetics GRC, this time in Barcelona! #epigeneticsgrc2025

Stand up for science. Stand up as if our lives and our economy depend on it. Because, actually, they do. #standupforscience

Excited to be sharing the science from my lab on epigenetic inheritance and Alzheimer’s disease with the community. If you want to watch, here is the link www.youtube.com/live/O4AsL8m... @standupforscience.bsky.social @sci4ga.bsky.social #StandUpForScience actionnetwork.org/events/teach...

Looking forward to engaging with the community and telling people about our science.

Great idea.

Excited to be talking to the community about our work and about why funding science is so important. Come join us! @standupforscience.bsky.social @sci4ga.bsky.social

Absolutely amazing talk from Junho Lee at #worm25 on flying dauer worms!

The amazing tradition that is Worm Show!

Worm folks are the best folks!! And the proof lies in the twenty year tradition of WORM SHOW on the last night (all thanks to the heroic efforts of Morris Maduro & Curtis Loer) 🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱

The incredible worm community! #worm25

Couldn’t agree more. @nematodehunters.bsky.social is awesome. Also come check out the poster at #worm25 of own C. elegans CURE @oglethorpeuniv.bsky.social

I will be opening my new lab in September at UBC! if you’re coming to #Worm25 and are looking for graduate studies or a postdoc position, let’s meet! Vancouver + worms = perfect vibes. www.zoology.ubc.ca/~yeecs/labsi... Please share! 🙌

Fantastic talk. Amazing thesis.

I think we just witnessed the first ever nematode ménage a trois! #worm25

1/n Fellow C elegans enthusiasts! For those of you using WormCat for RNA seq pathway analysis, we are working on the 3.0 version. Comments on annotations/website welcome. Either PM here or let's talk at the Worm meeting in Davis. #Worm25 #celegans

Very excited to be back at the international worm meeting! #worm25

My quote of the day It takes years to realize the multiple benefits of science; without adequate, sustained funding for research, the careers of many bright, young scientists may come to a screeching halt. Carol Greider

Congratulations to @wbickmor.bsky.social for being inducted as a foreign member to the NAS! Great moment for epigenetics and Wendy’s incredible commitment to pursuing nuclear organization.

Congratulations to Yukiko who does beautiful science experiments.

Congratulations to Iva and Gary!!!

Awesome. Looking forward to all of the exciting updates on our Genetics and Molecular Biology PhD students at Emory University.

Very proud of my student Monica Reeves for winning best talk at the Emory University Graduate Student Division Symposium!!!

Katz lab standing up for science! #standupforscience2025

Stand up for science! Atlanta is standing up! #standupforscience2025

My lab will all be standing up for science on Friday in Atlanta! #standupforscience2025

LOL. Whatever you do, don’t do this! Sign up now!

Congratulations to Lauryn Cureton from the Emory GMB graduate program for being inducted into the Bouchet Graduate Honors Society! @emoryuniversity.bsky.social

The US gov’t investment in science is one of the most successful endeavors that mankind has ever undertaken with a staggering return on a very small amount of money. Everyone single person in the US is positively impacted by this investment and should demand it be continued and expanded.

Whomever it was who thought to include this language is a genius and a hero who might literally save the entire US biomedical research industry. Thank you.

Was really excited to get to give a talk this morning during Emory Human Genetics grand rounds on our data trying to mechanistically understand Kabuki Syndrome and Kabuki-like Syndrome. Thanks to Dr. Hong Li for inviting me! @emorygenetics.bsky.social

This is pretty remarkable.

With a heavy dose of my typical optimism, I have decided to proceed with the internal routing of my NIH R01 grant proposal.

I just registered for Worm Meeting. Who else is in? #Worm25

I am in! Join up!

Congratulations Mary! Great choice!

I'm an amateur genealogist who has traced extensive family trees for my mother and husband. I have a special icon that I use in my online trees to mark all the children who "DIED YOUNG". And there are lots of them in the days before vaccinations and antibiotics. 1/

Well said.

Excited to be giving the Kabuki Syndrome Foundation monthly online seminar later this morning with new data from worms and mice challenging some of the assumptions that we made about the origin of phenotypes in chromatinopathies

Completely agree

Hosted Paul Duke high school students @ Oglethorpe University to hear about the amazing C. elegans results from our senior capstone CURE at research poster day. Very excited to have them be mentored on their own C. elegans experiments by our undergraduates as part of our new extended Pipeline CURE!

Now more than ever It is vital that we educate people about how research on model organisms had been fundamental in advancing our understanding of genetics, development, and cell biology, and this discovery driven research is foundational for disease focused studies. Consider these 8 Nobel Prizes:

Very proud to have hosted my 1st graduate student @jadiewas.bsky.social returning from NYU to talk about her lab’s exciting C. elegans data and sit in on class with our 2nd year genetics PhD students at Emory University

If Nature and Science journals both agree on this, surely there is at least a 60% chance it is true.

Tried to post this article on X. We will see what happens!

This really can’t be stated enough times.

Outstanding student. Highly recommend. Good luck with applications Scott!

LOL. A true classic.

Is the grass greener? Or perhaps the sky bluer?

Come be our colleague!
