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!

Sad to see that Don passed, he was a legend and a big part of why our community is so special. 🤯 20% of the collection?!!

Recombinant monoclonal antibodies to detect tubulin post-translational modifications work beautifully in #celegans neurons and cilia. @kjverhey1.bsky.social shared ONE ML of each rMAb! www.micropublication.org/journals/bio... Blasius...Verhey 2025 Cytoskeleton: 10.1002/cm.70011. PMID: 40650552

Representative immunostaining of anti-glutamylated tubulin (rMAb-GT335) in C. elegans hermaphrodites. Glutamylated tubulin is detected in labial and cephalic cilia (bracket) and the middle segments (MS) of amphid channel cilia. Scale bar=2μm.

I am reviewing a simply amazing paper from a relatively young US-based lab, which is in danger of shutting its doors later this year. My emotions are all over the place. The fact that this does not uniquely identify the lab I’m referring to just deepens the tragedy of this moment in US science.

The CGC has added some cool functionality to improve the searchability of the site to help find appropriate strains for your research. We are working to create a consistent nomenclature. More collections to come in the future. Folks can ask questions on Worm Slack, the Alliance forum, or here! (2)

Jordan Ward @gotworms.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Excited to see this out in the world. The CGC is launching a curated strains collection, the first being protein degradation systems and this is a pilot primer to pair with it authored by myself, Dave Reiner, Ann Rougvie, and Aric Daul. We review the state of the field and provide use guidance (1)

Jordan Ward @gotworms.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Thanks! We were really happy with how it turned out! I got a lot of emails asking for advice about the AID system and it felt like this primer was lacking. It was great to work with Dave, Ann, and Aric and I love the idea of the curated strain collections!

What tools do we need to start engineering #aging and #longevity ? A🧵about something we've been cooking up in lab with Jeremy Vicencio at the @crg.eu : technology that lets us reach inside living animals and precisely dial multiple proteins' levels up and down. 1/10

For the life of me, I cannot fathom the rationale for any of this. Utter wanton destruction of one of the best research ecosystems in the world.

There is so much cool #aECM work going on but most of the researchers don’t know or talk to each other; this is an attempt to change that! Link below
