Ahmed Elewa @inperience.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Welcoming graduate students who want to ask big questions with small worms. We study non-genetic inheritance in C. elegans, asking how parental experiences are encoded in gametes and decoded by offspring. Visit miamioh.edu/cas/graduate... and ahmedelewa.com for more information. 021

Ahmed Elewa @inperience.bsky.social · 27/06/2025Third chick in a week. First two were sparrows but this one is a pigeon. They fall to the street and die from the heat. I harvest some developing feathers for “Developmental Biology a la Søren Kierkegaard” and then lay them to rest. 120
Ahmed Elewa @inperience.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Santella et al. (Bao lab) had published a nice C. elegans TEM dataset. elifesciences.org/articles/77918 Can someone help me identify the organelle in the crosshairs that seems to have a donut around it. There are 3 orthogonal to each other highlighting what looks like a ring around a vesicle. 100
