@Reinke_Science Of course, we wouldn't have found this "wild" phenotype without the work of @Luallen_Lab and his generous contribution of N. ferruginous microsporidia samples too!

This manuscript has been a long time in the making/preparing! It could not have been completed without the excellent efforts of Aaron, Angcy, Yin, and other members of @Reinke_Science !

[Aaron Reinke @Reinke_Science]

Preprint! Led by @calvinmok, with lots of help from Angcy Xiao and Yin Wan. In this paper we use a multiplexed fitness competition assay to identify a wild C. elegans strain that is sensitive to one species of #microsporidia, but resistant to another! 1/9 https://t.co/AXjCKrT3lF

@farmgirlphd Very sorry for your loss @farmgirlphd Condolences to your family. I’ll be sure to take your advice and hug the little ones extra tight tonight.

Put my votes in!! Please be sure to give my video a vote if you have a chance :D

@farmgirlphd @MicrobiomDigest It looks like they took the right half of (b) and copied/pasted it. Then on top of that they pasted a 180-degree rotation of it beside the original half to make a full (c) image... but why?

I don’t tweet very often but when I do, it’s because I’m trapped in an elevator at work, alone, trying to get home, after midnight. #0stars #wouldnotrecommend

I'm excited to share my paper describing the use of molecular inversion probes to phenotype pooled populations of C. elegans which will be published at #g3journal this November! For now, please enjoy the early online version!

Thanks Brent! Excited for this review, coauthored with @awillis_science and Ronesh Sukhdeo to be online in @FEBSJournal

[Aaron Reinke @Reinke_Science]

Also excited for our review coauthored with @halatamim on the molecular interactions between microsporidia and their hosts to be online https://t.co/Cz1pLiAQ3s

I’m a senior PhD student who has done many presentations and won some awards for talks - including today. I still get very nauseous and panicked before Every. Single. One. Remember it’s okay to be anxious, you can still crush it. I believe in you 💜#AcademicMentalHealth #PhDLife

@TD_Canada I know these are trying times but I shouldn't be on hold with you for an hour just to be disconnected by a message saying you're experiencing technical difficulties. It's a terrible 2020 but nonetheless, it's time to invest in a call-back system. #QuarantineActivities

Trust in Science continues to decline? https://t.co/2EZtuAuSy4 How do we encourage more engagement with the public and build trust in the work we do? What are the key tools we need to ensure that scientific results positively influence the minds of our society? #saveScience

Goodnight #Worm19. Tonight was a BLAST! @AGCharlesworth thanks for including me in your greatness!

[Calvin Mok @calvinmok]

Congrats to @AGCharlesworth @halatamim on your big #Worm19 wins! Super proud of you both!

This is how you save seats for the #Worm19 comedy show...

This one method may save your lab MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars! Check out poster 618B at #worm19 to learn more! Think this is just #posterbait? Only one way to find out...

@MouseWormHybrid By far, the cutest worm is the dumpy-unc-roller first introduced to me by the good old days of rough mapping in grad school!
