Excited to see this paper finally out @PNASNews! 🥳 We show that a chemosensory cue (CO2) of the same valence state (attraction) evokes distinct neural activities and motor outputs across two different life stages in C. elegans. 1/n https://t.co/x7BbVm7o90

New paper with @hall__melissa, Melanie Kambadur, @elepre17, and @adinamwilliams: https://t.co/6Sfp3BmKja

We talk to community experts to compile a list of ~600 demographic terms in 450k sentence prompts, and we use this to measure bias in several LMs and reduce dialogue biases.

Excited to share this work where we show that C. elegans dauers and adults use different mechanisms to establish the same chemosensory behavior.
Thanks to my PI Elissa Hallem, all my co-authors and our collaborators @wormraiser and @peinguin2

Now my postdoc advisor @bendesky told me to think like a fish! I am curious and excited to find out where my new adventure is going to take me 😌

New paper with @littlebrains302 describing arsenic-resistant nematodes! My PhD advisor @wormraiser once told me to think like a worm, so we went out of the lab, found a previously unknown extreme habitat for worms and learned their secret to survive.

@tiffmschmidt @littlebrain302 Thank you Tiff :)

Cleaning my whiteboard before moving to NYC to start my postdoc but the drawings from @littlebrain302 are too cute to erase

[Pei-Yin Shih @peinguin2]

This is probably my favorite picture from grad school! Happy to see the paper out and hopefully it will be useful for the dauer field!

For non-scientists: we made worms light up brilliantly when they decide their environment is about to collapse! Then we hijacked their genes to manipulate their decisions :)

We hope the worm's bacterial food use Phosphate in their DNA...#worm19
