@Dr_AromeSolomon Great! 🤓 Please submit your application as directed on the VU website. Applications via email will not be accepted.

Interested in how pesticides impact the onset and progression of Parkinson’s disease? Do you have C. elegans experience? Then this postdoc is for you! https://t.co/F8iE5Ec5Wf

[Samantha Hughes @SamHughesLab]

Much excitement in the lab today - We got worms to grow and reproduce in axenic media! I find it amazing the worms could grow without a bacterial food source!

[Samantha Hughes @SamHughesLab]

A beautiful article from the New York Times highlighting how much of an impact C. elegans has had. As Sydney Brenner said: “Without doubt, the fourth winner of the Nobel Prize this year is Caenorhabditis elegans” https://t.co/P3wLMQURpg

I am part of a team organising a research topic in Frontiers in Toxicology : The need to add whole organism models to reduce uncertainties in developmental neurotoxicity testing strategies. We hope to see your submissions 🤓 https://t.co/HxKbrYSHV7

[MERLON research project @MerlonResearch]

MERLON brings together experts from 1⃣1⃣ partner institutions across 7⃣ European countries.

⚕️By shedding a light on the possible health impacts of endocrine disrupters, the project will protect human reproductive health.

New vacancy alert! I have a 2 year postdoc working with C. elegans in Amsterdam! Click on the link to apply before 15 September! https://t.co/F8iE5Eby6H

[Samantha Hughes @SamHughesLab]

New paper! A long time in the making but super proud of the team effort across different disciplines : Combined MALDI with LC-MS for observing partial distribution of lipids in whole Caenorhabditis elegans https://t.co/jZ3U2bZkHR

Ready for day 2 in a lovely venue (Utrecht, Netherlands)

[Samantha Hughes @SamHughesLab]

#ewm2024 we are here and ready for worm knowledge with old friends and new

[Samantha Hughes @SamHughesLab]

Quick trip to Texel! So far seen (non-GFP) jellyfish 🪼🪼

[Samantha Hughes @SamHughesLab]

Really excited to be part of this great research team

[MERLON research project @MerlonResearch]

#EndocrineDisruptors interrupt the normal functioning of our hormone systems and can cause health problems such as infertility.

🧫MERLON will explore the impacts of EDCs on #ReproductiveHealth and provide tools to better identify and regulate them.

Very happy our new manuscript: Zebrafish and nematodes as whole organism models to measure developmental neurotoxicity is out 🤓 https://t.co/kVHGh6BpC4

[Samantha Hughes @SamHughesLab]

@ProemelLab @SpringerNature @sigtrans_sttt @DThorLab @realSchoneberg @Susi_Horn @Diana_Le_Duc @isakaczmarek @AntjeKorner @pick_s_lab Amazing! A great read 🤓

[Samantha Hughes @SamHughesLab]

Good news out of the USA, but there is still a long way to go! Where do 'forever chemicals' in drinking water come from? https://t.co/AeiCpBGUsx

[Samantha Hughes @SamHughesLab]

Funded PhD in exploring endocrine disrupting chemicals in worms and fish - if you are interested please apply to work on this important topic! https://t.co/pN5uBP7D8y
