not a breakthrough but I found the videos from this worm paper was loved by my cell bio class. we had gone over NLS, KDEL and fluorescence microscopy. elifesciences.org/articles/61069

The Nesprin-1/-2 ortholog ANC-1 regulates organelle positioning in C. elegans independently from its KASH or actin-binding domains
The giant KASH protein ANC-1 maintains the integrity of the cytoplasm to anchor nuclei, ER, and other organelles within the cell.

dang, your very first submission wasn't discussed? I'm not sure if it depends on how things roll at different panels, but when I did RiT this cycle the chair told me that they typically will discuss an ECR's first sub. my grant got discussed too, at a different panel.

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!

These dazzling neurons belong to a fruit fly. Confocal microscopy images of them were taken & combined by researchers at our Janelia Research Campus like pieces of a puzzle to build a rough map of the ventral nerve cord, which coordinates walking, flying, & reflex.
