Meaning HHS which means the NIH.

Vote, people.

Vote like your love of scientific advance to improve the health of your fellow Americans depends on it.

@NeedhiBhalla @eLife What an assessment from eLife! Congratulations!

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

Opening for a lab manager/Res Asst! This is a great position if you want more research experience (& perhaps co-author a paper or two!) before heading to grad school. We are a sociable, supportive, inclusive, and dynamic group - come join us.

We are excited to announce the first preprint detailing ATLAS our next generation spatial omics technology by Co-Founders @zehemminger and @roy_wollman at @uclachem and @UCLAQCBio in collaboration with @jsb_iucla and @UCLABRAIN https://t.co/cqatJ3qF8Z

"They were looking at two worms that looked a bit funny and decided to understand why."

Sounds like a good summary of my PhD with @meera_sundaram studying rod like lethal mutants in C.elegans. Today, all worm developmental geneticists stand a little taller.

@antoniocbscosta @greg_stephens Super cool!

[Shah Lab @ShahLabUCLA]

@greg_stephens @antoniocbscosta How much of this do you think comes down to "fluctuating landscapes"? Are the missing dynamics all in the heavy tails?

[Greg Stephens @greg_stephens]

When @willryu first shared his beautiful movies of a wiggling worm, I was blown away! But how can we both accurately and with interpretability capture the posture dynamics of an animal’s behavior?

[Shah Lab @ShahLabUCLA]

Honored to have our work on automating lineage tracing in C. elegans using DIC microscopy featured in the latest issue of Genetics!

BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

[Arwen Gao @ArwenGao]

Following the exciting news of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to Gary Ruvkun and Victor Ambros for their groundbreaking discovery of microRNA, particularly in the worm C. elegans, I’m thrilled to share a new resource we’ve just published at hashtag#CellReports! :D

@MadS100tist In this crazy world, people just want to feel connected to something bigger than themselves

Podcast: "Can cancer cells learn?" about our latest preprint from @jess_ljx!

[Shah Lab @ShahLabUCLA]

@arjunrajlab @jess_ljx Oh cool, I haven't tried the podcasting yet but every time I've tried notebooklm I've been super impressed!

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

Multiple postdocs out to academic/industry jobs + 2 grant NOAs in = open postdoc position.

Worms are great to work with, sensory biology is an endlessly fascinating topic, and we are a group of good humans. Please email if interested!

@drugmonkeyblog @LuciaScience Have you done the digging to see if the haircuts actually enable more grants to break through or enable larger and more concentrated awards? Obviously impossible to determine post-hoc, but it at least feels like a form of regressive taxation to my poor modular budgeting self

[Arjun Raj @arjunrajlab]

Faculty application time! Offer for 1-1 mentoring stands. I’ve talked to undergrads, faculty , and everyone in between. Email me to find a time. Especially happy to speak with people from diverse backgrounds.

[Shah Lab @ShahLabUCLA]

@drugmonkeyblog @Aging_Scientist That's a tough question, but one worth debating. I'd say "it depends on the circumstances" but 9/10 times folks will find a way to twist "circumstances" to screw someone else over
