@mbeisen Nematodes can’t be squished: they can handle 200,000 g ( I recall but don’t have the citation on front of me;maybe Ruvkun in the worm breeder’s gazette ca 1990s)

@mbeisen Well, worms cause more health problems than these viruses so it sorta makes sense, but it kinda disagrees with previous phylogenies so ach I dunno

@emblebi @JulioSaezRod @jomcentyre Congratulations All!

@filipczakemilia I mixed all the positive and negative in an ambiguous statement about impacting my thesis, e.g. city of Cambridge MA [for three parking tickets the day I handed it in].

The worms are in TOUCH with their feelings; it’s not just posture-ing!

I'm happy to share our latest work published in Current Biology. We demonstrate that C. elegans males sense cuticular cues and body stiffness to recognize mates.
A wonderful journey in collaborations with @wormraiser @Pujol_lab

@lundpa Addgene for plasmids…..

@FlyBaseDotOrg @Barr_lab @Hoosierflyman @Annika_Barber @wormbase We had a similar problem with https://t.co/TaMTubMB71
It was about fishing….

Excited to share a view and conceptual framework for achievable time-resolved autonomous adaptive data acquisition for hyperspectral imaging of living biological systems. Huge thanks to my co-authors (Hari, Derek, @BerkeleySynchIR, @wormraiser ) and to @AppliedPhysRev! 🙏

@Barr_lab We as a community should allow biologists to reproduce if they want!

Really cool: a high school student sequenced the first angelfish genome! ….and published it in microPublication Biology!@micropub7n https://t.co/NSHjqwyvx4

@maxwellheiman @Barr_lab @Hoosierflyman @Annika_Barber @FlyBaseDotOrg @wormbase Cease and desist I say!!

[wormraiser @wormraiser]

@FlyBaseDotOrg @Barr_lab @Hoosierflyman @Annika_Barber @wormbase So ZFIN wanted to be called _____?

[wormraiser @wormraiser]

@Barr_lab @Hoosierflyman @Annika_Barber @FlyBaseDotOrg @wormbase Flybase was first; to avoid copying flybase we thought wormworld but Cynthia Kenyon had that as a lab website name. And we figured it was easier to have a similar name to make it easier, a theme that is being implemented in the @alliancegenome .

@ElShamayleh @VivianGradinaru @Caltech @voorheeslab @ElowitzLab @davidvanvalen @mitchguttman @lpachter @ZernickaGoetz @Pselaphinae Yes!

[wormraiser @wormraiser]

@girlsinscience_ @reznavajo @SenguptaLab @ashishkmaurya6 @Micropub7n There is a simple form linked from the website, under “for authors “/ “author fees”. Feedback on its onerosity welcome!

Fruit of a lovely collaboration with @vvkvnkt ‘s lab finds an interneuron downstream of pheromone sensation in the worm’s diapause vs reproductive decision. https://t.co/JN9EK4hcWT
