@foodskop @UWMadison @uwgenetics @UW_LSC @uwmadisonarts Congratulations Ahna!!! 😊🎉

Absolutely honored to win this prestigious science outreach award Excellence in outreach recognized with 2026 Bassam Z. Shakhashiri Public Science Engagement Award ⁦@UWMadison⁩ ⁦@uwgenetics⁩ ⁦@UW_LSC⁩ ⁦@uwmadisonarts⁩ research.wisc.edu/uncategorized/…

🪱Worm-friends! Join us this summer in Madison for the C. elegans topic meeting(s) - MAPSS *and* DevCell 🪱 Early birds get the you-know-what, and the early registration deadline is THIS FRI: conferences.union.wisc.edu/ceaging/ It's buy-one-get-one, and who out there doesn't love a deal??

We are pleased to share with you our latest revised manuscript showing that the endocytic protein dynamin regulates SPD-2 and PLK-1 levels during mitosis. Special thanks to the reviewers and editor for their thoughtful feedback! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Soil nematodes to the rescue

Centrosome fans: Submit your @ASCBiology abstract to the ‘Emerging concepts in centriole and centrosome assembly and function’ minisym, ft. PRIZES for trainee talks & posters thanks to generous sponsors @J_Cell_Sci @DSHB_antibodies @NikonUSA Cytoskeleton

In the new book Labwork to Leadership, chemist Jen Heemstra offers actionable leadership advice to principal investigators. Read the #ScienceBooks Review: scim.ag/41EtQje

First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that. This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.   jenheemstra.com/book

I’m pleased to share the latest preprint from the Iyer Lab! 🎉 We uncover a novel role for dynamin in regulating spindle pole assembly and PLK-1 localization during late mitosis in C. elegans embryos. Read it here 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We made a huge poster that illustrates all of the major genome editing tools in one place. You can download a copy for free from the @AsimovPress website. press.asimov.com/articles/crisp…

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases. I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known. People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at octant.bio.

For all executive orders, trans focused and not, a good rule of thumb is to think hard on whether Article II gives the president the power to act. In the US, we have a gov't of limited powers, folks.

@AHollandLab That's wonderful! Congratulations!

Three papers accepted in one week. That won’t ever happen again….

What non-Chinese company can you recommend to create CRISPR'd C. elegans strains? Public institutions of higher ed in Texas aren't allowed to contract goods or services from Chinese companies since 11/2024. (I just got funds in to pay for my SunyBioTech quote from 10/2024.) :(

The 2025 Texas Genetics Society Meeting registration site is now open! March 20–22 in College Station! texasgeneticssociety.org We're coordinating with the James E. Womack Memorial symposium (March 19–20), so check that out, too! texasgeneticssociety.org/wp-content/upl…

Thanks to our recent Wellcome funding- we're hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher to explore the mechanisms underlying synaptic RNA capture and selective local protein synthesis. This position has 5 years of funding. Please reach out if you have any questions! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

@charissa_kim Heartfelt condolences to you and your family...

My mom passed away last night after a long battle with metastatic breast cancer. She was my best friend and favorite person. I’ll miss her forever, but everything that remains is love. Suzanne Kim 11/24/1958 - 1/5/2025.

@WormlockHolmes @amalmathewkkt Congratulations Sandhya!

Preprint last day of 2024. PhD work @amalmathewkkt How do you make a synaptic vesicle protein (SVPs) carrier? C. elegans orthologues of LRRK2, the BORC complex, ARL8, AP3 are key for segregating lysosomal prots & SVPs. KIF1A+KIF5 are imp in sorting. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@foodskop @NatureCellBio Congratulations Ahna!

Honored to be highlighted by ⁦@NatureCellBio⁩ on our midbody remnant and science art outreach! nature.com/articles/s4155…
