Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Gregory Reilly! Greg successfully defended his thesis last week and we're writing up his work on sex differences in #celegans behavioral states now. #ceneuro24 folks will get a sneak preview next week!

@FanjuMeng @UNTsocial Congrats!!!😁🎉

[Fanju Meng @FanjuMeng]

I'm very excited to share that I've accepted a Tenure Track Assistant Professor position in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of North Texas @UNTsocial , starting this fall! My new lab will study epigenetic regulation of gene expression during embryogenesis.

Feeling honored and humbled to be among this group of amazing scientists!

[Jintao Luo 罗津韬 @Luo_Jintao]

@doug_p Congrats, Doug! You are amazing! 😁

Have you ever wondered how C. elegans males find and evaluate potential mates? Wonder no longer! https://t.co/APmYxJtKFI

[Jintao Luo 罗津韬 @Luo_Jintao]

@doug_p Feel better soon!

[Ilya Ruvinsky @RuvinskyIlya]

Happy to share this project by the @group_schroeder in collaboration with @doug_p @portmanlab and @siusylvialee1.

We report hundreds of sex-specific C. elegans metabolites as well as their dependence on the sex/presence of specific tissues.

@aditichaubey @portmanlab Thanks, Aditi! I’ll miss you and Ferkey Lab.

[Jintao Luo 罗津韬 @Luo_Jintao]

Thank you, Portman lab! @portmanlab I am heading out to a brand new adventure very soon. With all your support, I’ll try my best to stay strong. Will miss you, and all my Rochester friends! Best wishes. ♥️

[Gene Regulation @generegulation]

Enhancer release and retargeting activates disease-susceptibility genes https://t.co/s780eGhAE0
✅ promoter loss -> its partner enhancer can loop to activate another promoter
✅ promoter choice determined by CTCF binding
✅ lack of preferred CTCF motif orientation

How are innate behaviors tuned to allow animals to make adaptive choices as their environment changes? New work in C. elegans led by postdoc @Luo_Jintao provides some insight! #celegans #chemosensation #foraging #feeding #pheromone @URNeuroscience @urmcbmg https://t.co/WHP4CAtAWJ

[Nuno Raimundo @nunoraimundo]

Unexpected outcome on a very cool collaboration with @AnitaKrisko - peroxisomes!

(no wonder they kick me out of the mitochondrial crowd...)

Functional peroxisomes are required for heat shock-induced hormesis in Caenorhabditis elegans https://t.co/5wqf15zsvo

[Sarah Hall @sarah_hall02]

I’m excited to share the latest story from the Hall lab! The pathways that promote longevity in germline-less animals also regulate reproduction in adults that experienced early-life starvation. https://t.co/AlE8CMdudG @eLife
