Oh yeah. We so appreciate our amazing postdocs! @alison_marie1 @nathanCSharris @ashishkmaurya6 @JihyeYeon @TheScientistHan

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

Happy to report that preprint is now an accepted paper (beautified version coming soon). Immensely proud of @Takeishi_Lab @JihyeYeon @nathanCSharris for completing this through the chaos that is 2020, and managing across continents, oceans and timezones.

Worm tweeps - As you've prob heard, #worm21 won't be in Glasgow sadly, but will be virtual. Good news is that we have the chance to re-imagine #worm21 and #worm23 will be in Scotland. So please send ideas to me and (twitterless) Barbara Conradt, your fearless co-organizers.

For #postdocappreciationweek, today I feature @TheScientistHan. She bravely joined a new lab during a pandemic and has been zooming along (🤦‍♀️) ever since. She asks how and why some sensory neuron cilia exhibit stereotyped adjacencies. Are they talking to each other? Stay tuned!

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

In honor of #postdocappreciationweek, highlighting one of our fab PDs/day. I'll go by 'seniority'. Today - it's @_MikeOD_ - technically Asst Prof @MCDB_Yale (10/1/20) but still advising our grad students. Fantastic scientist and mentor. Join his lab!!

Today for #postdocappreciationweek , I highlight @ashishkmaurya6. He is solving the mystery of how these spectacular olfactory neuron cilia are made and maintained. In add'n to previous work, has at least two more cool stories coming. Will be on the job market this yr!

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

In honor of #postdocappreciationweek, we have an AM and a PM post (both PDs started on the same day). AM: heeere's @alison_marie1 who asks how cilia shapes contribute to sensory neuron response dynamics. Check out that cilia Ca2+ response when the worm nose is exposed to an odor!

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

In honor of #postdocappreciationweek, my PM post: I give you @nathanCSharris. He wants to know how gene expression in a single thermosensory neuron type scales with temperature and drives neuronal and behavioral plasticity. Many cool (pun intended) genes in green below!

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

For #postdocappreciationweek today's star is @JihyeYeon aka Jamie. She's using wild C. elegans strains to identify genetic variations that modify their extraordinary thermosensory abilities. (And check out her co-1st author preprint on how hunger alters thermosensory behaviors)

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

Stop the presses! Hold everything! Micro-paper reveal! C. elegans has sixty-TWO ciliated sensory neurons, not just sixty! URX joins the hallowed group (and incidentally, ❤️ the @Micropub7n concept!)

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

Hey all- I am doing one of these tomorrow. Will be talking about some of our recent work on how the presence/absence of bacterial food modulates sensory behaviors in C. elegans. Thanks to @neuroecology for the invite.

Seeking the Goldilocks zone: new thermosensors and a behavioral algorithm for thermotaxis. Flexible cross-inhibition between warming & cooling pathways is key in fly larva. Preprint from @LuisHN20 & Aravi Samuel (w/ @AndreasThum1, Klein & @Nemvec labs):

Our lab is starting a search for a Lab Manager/Res Asst to begin 9/20. If you'd like experience in genetics/neuro research, work with a great group of scientists, possibly co-author a paper, and take courses for free, please apply: https://t.co/wGP4OomDQt. Appreciate RTs. 🙏

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

Our first pandemic preprint! Joint effort by PDs @Takeishi_Lab (now Team Leader @RIKEN_CBS), and @JihyeYeon, along with @NathanCSHarris together with Wenxing Yang. (I note that both first authors were/are on J1 visas). 1/n

How does brain wiring change after birth? We tried to answer that question by mapping the wiring diagrams, or connectomes, of eight C. elegans brains across different life stages.

See our preprint (and this thread) for the insights we found: https://t.co/OpWa9UYWPZ

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

👏🍾In the midst of current stresses, some good news. Happy to announce our latest publication in @nature. Authored by postdoc and soon-to-be-Asst Prof @_MikeOD_ @MCDB_Yale in collaboration with Henry Chao, Bennett Fox and @group_schroeder. 1/3
