This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans. Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals, making it a useful model for investigating how tissues develop and mature in multicellular organisms. Read how the 2024 medicine laureates’ investigations into C. elegans revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation: bit.ly/4dlPE6f #NobelPrize

*New Special Feature in Proc B* There is much to be learned by considering the origins of different forms of evolutionary conflicts side-by-side, comparing mechanisms that evolved to resolve them, and how different fields have studied such processes. Lots of great papers!🧵

Congratulations @stepheniwright!! Such a well deserved accomplishment :)

There have been many conversations about leadership and challenges of tokenism and glass cliffs. Thought I'd share my thoughts here. Anyone else struggling with these issues? Shifting to the outside: Why racialized leaders choose to walk away linkedin.com/pulse/shifting…

'Once upon a time,' said Frog, 'there were two good friends, a frog and a toad.'

In case anyone is still on Twitter to see this (?), I'm really excited to be starting a lab at the University of Toronto @eebtoronto in July 2024! For more details, see here: freedman-lab.ca.

WOW! Given this HUGE return on investment, it is baffling why the @JustinTrudeau & @cafreeland government hasn't increased funding for graduate students & postdoctoral scholars in 20 years. What gives @FP_Champagne!?
