[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans.

Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals, making it a useful model for investigating how tissues develop and mature in multicellular organisms.

Read how the 2024 medicine laureates’ investigations into C. elegans revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation: https://t.co/8RwUplwYQA

*New Special Feature in Proc B*

There is much to be learned by considering the origins of different forms of evolutionary conflicts side-by-side, comparing mechanisms that evolved to resolve them, and how different fields have studied such processes.

Lots of great papers!🧵

There have been many conversations about leadership and challenges of tokenism and glass cliffs. Thought I'd share my thoughts here. Anyone else struggling with these issues?

WOW! Given this HUGE return on investment, it is baffling why the @JustinTrudeau & @cafreeland government hasn't increased funding for graduate students & postdoctoral scholars in 20 years. What gives @FP_Champagne!?
