@Notorious_MHC I have used Adaptyl sprayed on a bandana and have gone as far as pharmaceutical intervention for dogs with rough anxiety issues (with vet guidance). I do know people who swear by thunder shirts, but I haven't had luck with that.

@Notorious_MHC I've used them on family dogs when I groom them (bath and blow dry) mainly as ear protection from water and loud blower. They sort of stand there and stare at me, I don't know if it comforts or just weirds them out.

@WilenLab Are you using the desktop suite or office 365 online? The web browser experience is significantly better, can make it a bit less annoying...

[Meagan Sullender, PhD @MeaganSullender]

@WilenLab @sci_bastian Aww...a cute little squishy tardigrade. 😊

RSVP for @WUSTLABBGS’ s inaugural INSPIRE Conference happening 4/19!

Postdocs and trainees can sign up to present at the poster session.

Looking forward to the exciting talks and panels!

@bunsenbernerbmd As - Astro. Named after a virus I've studied, because the golden happiness is infectious like any virus.

We are also looking for co-op students interested in joining us! One position specifically involves considerable wet lab work utilizing cutting-edge CRISPR technologies. Must be currently attending and returning to a degree program - undergrad/masters/PhD.

We are recruiting a postdoc to the team to work on the integration of CRISPR screening and single cell multi-omics approaches (OPS/CROP-seq/Perturb-Seq) for the development of novel assays/pipelines in disease-relevant models. Please share!

@WilenLab @SanghyunLeeLab @Yale_LabMed What was this year's bonding activity?

[Meagan Sullender, PhD @MeaganSullender]

@bunsenbernerbmd Is this not analogous to the chaos "chain letters" were supposed to rain down upon the postal system? 🙃

Merck's Data and Genome Sciences (DGS) Department is hiring for co-op positions to begin in 2023! Talented students meet cutting-edge technologies for the purposes of target discovery and validation.

@WilenLab Transkingdom tardigrade grant?

[Meagan Sullender, PhD @MeaganSullender]

@WilenLab I was also wondering what happens when they get eaten...if some can "survive outerspace" do they just take a cruise down the GI tract or what?

[Meagan Sullender, PhD @MeaganSullender]

@WilenLab This looks like it has lots of nice info (with images): https://t.co/nM2bQncnsS

[Meagan Sullender, PhD @MeaganSullender]

@WilenLab So cool! 🤓 All I can really say is it looks like a nematode and a rotifer of some sort. Species would likely depend on the species of moss you found them living in. I think they all have their own unique ecosystem. Lots of parallels to your own work, haha.

Our booth at the Cambridge Science Festival today - Pin the Cas9 on the gene!

[Meagan Sullender, PhD @MeaganSullender]

@WilenLab They like damp places - soft mosses and lichen, even decomposing leaves. You can collect substrates and "activate" them with water sort of like a simplified version of the helminth protocol.

[Meagan Sullender, PhD @MeaganSullender]

@WilenLab Dry ice has also taken a hit downstream - no fun frosty bubbles in lab...

@YatingWang_Lab @AOmdphd I'm at Merck now up in Cambridge, MA!
