Postdoc @UCLA studying chemosensory behaviors in C. elegans and parasitic worms | PhD alumni @UMassMedical

Excited to see this paper finally out @PNASNews! 🥳 We show that a chemosensory cue (CO2) of the same valence state (attraction) evokes distinct neural activities and motor outputs across two different life stages in C. elegans. 1/n https://t.co/x7BbVm7o90

Our paper with @EricJDeeds is now up on PLoS Comp Bio. Some new goodies since the preprint including an implementation of a generalized form of the branch distance!

Many thanks to @planapalooza @zamanian_ @Mak_Mitreva for organizing such a wonderful meeting #molhelm23 and giving me the opportunity to share my work!

[Newmark/Issigonis Lab @planapalooza]

Thanks to all of the participants for making #molhelm23 such a great experience for all! @planapalooza had a pleasure hosting you all in Madison and @Morgridge_Inst!

To start off Day 1 of Assistant Professor-ing, could I have everyone still here tell everyone they know that I'm hiring! The position mixes lab admin and research and would be perfect for a recent college grad. Here's a link to the job ad: https://t.co/xpgSvpQoxI

@astrab @UW @UW_PBIO

[Astra Bryant, PhD @astrab]

Thrilled to share the news that in Jan 2023 I’m joining the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at @UW as a tenure-track assistant professor. @UW_PBIO #GoHuskies https://t.co/NALzE5mOQf

[Shah Lab @ShahLabUCLA]

Apply to join us this summer for a comprehensive course on C. elegans research methods, a perfect opportunity for anyone new to the worm to kickstart your work!

@devblair3 Congrats Devyn!

Later part of my grad work is out!🎉 A neuropeptide system regulates basal movement and local search behavior by conditionally engaging distinct GPCR combinations across circuits.
Thanks to @FrancisLab4 and all my coauthors for taking this to the end.

[Michael Francis Lab @FrancisLab4]

We are excited to share our latest manuscript now out on @eLife!! Amazing work from current and past postdocs @sramac2, @NavonilBanerjee, and Raja Bhattacharya asking how neuromodulators function to regulate neural circuits?

Thanks @neuroecology for the share and the thought-provoking analysis of the findings! 👇

[Adam J Calhoun @neuroecology]

When an animal goes through two different life histories (starvation early in life vs hunger later in life), different neural pathways are used to produce the same behavior

[Navonil Banerjee @NavonilBanerjee]

Excited to share this work where we show that C. elegans dauers and adults use different mechanisms to establish the same chemosensory behavior.
Thanks to my PI Elissa Hallem, all my co-authors and our collaborators @wormraiser and @peinguin2
