Worm friends, sign up for 1-on-1 mentoring, peer mentoring, or both!!! 1-on-1 mentoring = someone with more experience who can offer advice and perspective as you navigate your career. Peer mentoring group = trusted peers who are on one another’s side and help each other figure things out.

Worm friends, we need your help! For the next C. elegans Mentor Match cycle, we’re gathering testimonials from past mentors and mentees. One of our biggest challenges is recruiting new mentees, and hearing directly from past participants could really help. Please record a short video, and share!

Thrilled to share our latest study, led by @reikatei.bsky.social, in @natchembio.nature.com! We began by asking a simple question—how do cells know if they have too much of a lipid in a particular membrane, and how do they respond to rectify this imbalance? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We've been using Novogene. Good data and quick turnaround for regular worm RNA seq, but the low input takes a while. I am also curious about BioState AI, they may be faster for low input. Has any one tried them for C. elegans or low input samples?

In the past two days, all hiring and discretionary spending on my campus has been frozen. Layoffs / furloughs expected soon. The entire incoming first year Ph.D. student class had their offers rescinded. Public medical schools are especially vulnerable to these wanton attacks on science. #IamNotOK
