Looking forward to staying connected and continuing the discussions! #Aging #Dementia #NOAgeAD

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

Really happy to have the opportunity to attend the 12th NO-Age/AD and 4th Norway–UK Conferences on Ageing and Dementia! It was a truly inspiring meeting. Learned so much from the excellent talks, insightful discussions, and exciting research presented throughout the conference！

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

A big thank you to Prof. Evandro Fang @TheFangGroupUiO and all the organizers for putting together such a wonderful and inspiring conference. Grateful for the opportunity, the conversations, the valuable feedback, and all the inspiration!

Did you ever wonder about olfaction and anosmia in animals.
Why do worms love some odors and avoid some.
Here is us chasing C elegans in the wild and their microbiome. Dig in if you have time ( you may find Leucine and an olfactory GPCR within).

@VarshaS53228024 Congrats to Varsha and your team. What an interesting and important work!

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

@mchlab Wow! Really looking forward to reading more!

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

This can't be more cool from Chatzigeorgiou lab! Interesting molecule and mechanisms!

[Chatzigeorgiou lab @mchlab]

Super happy to see the lab's 1st developmental biology paper out! Ciona is an excellent model to study the function of evolutionarily conserved molecules like Ano10 in basic developmental processes such as notochord morphogenesis.

📢 Our latest paper is out in @CellCellPress! Led by the multi-talented @XinheZheng, we accelerated AAV-based gene delivery to 2 days & enabled in vivo CRISPR screens with single cell-level readout, a leap from existing capabilities 🤯 How does it work? (1/8)

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

🎉New lab preprint! 🔥🔥work by super postdoc @alison_marie1.
C. elegans sensory neurons have gorgeous #cilia at their dendrite ends. We’ve always thought that a) no cilia = no sensory responses, & b) no IFT = no cilia. Punchline is we thought wrong. Read on for more. 1/6

Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's a 🧵on my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.

@Yunpo1 @eLife Congrats, Yunpo!

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

@doug_p Congratulations!!!

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

@Barr_lab @RutgersU @aaas Congratulations!!!

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

@mchlab This sounds very cool! Looking forward to the exciting findings from your study!

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

This is really cool! Especially help us understand how the cues are sensed by neurons to modulate subsequent behavior in a marine model organism!

[Michael Sars Centre @MSarsCentre]

🎦We are very excited to share a video abstract from first author @HoyerJorgen and Marios Chatzigeorgiou @mchlab presenting their recent article in @CurrentBiology on larval settlement in marine invertebrates. Produced by @MelBurford @UiB
Take a look! https://t.co/e0ACsc8qTv

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

@WayneILDavies @FrontEcolEvol Wayne, this looks really cool!

[Chatzigeorgiou lab @mchlab]

Huge congrats to @HoyerJorgen for his paper in @CurrentBiology . He identified the sensory cells and neural circuitry employed by Ciona larvae to detect mechanical and chemical cues that promote or impede settlement and metamorphosis. Link to the paper: https://t.co/WTk0YRcMPk

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

@mchlab @lionlchristiaen @HoyerJorgen @CurrentBiology Congrats! This is really cool!

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

@mus_elegans Many thanks! Also looking forward to more beautiful work from your lab!

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

"It takes a village to raise a new Dr."
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone involved in this fantastic Ph.D journey. Super thanks to my supervisor Dr. Changchun Chen and really enjoy the discussion brought by my opponent and the committee members!

[Longjun Pu @LongjunP]

@WRnai Congrats, Prof. Guang! This is really interesting! Have seen many beautiful works from your lab and looking forward to seeing more coming from your lab.
