What have we learned in the last 10 years from C. elegans models of ALS and FTLD-TDP? Turns out a lot. We do our best to summarize the field in our latest review (just published!) frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@bakermind @CathLoveday @WiringTheBrain @AdamRutherford I’ve still got codes! Or there are some google doc forms to get a donated code too

Leon Musk’s enshittification of Twitter has had the unlikely effect of making me browse newspaper homepages again.

Come be my colleague! We have a rare job opening - a hard-money position for a clinician scientist to join the Seattle VA GRECC and the University of Washington. Open rank (hiring at the assistant, associate, or full professor level) ap.washington.edu/ahr/position-d…

Twitter friends- I’ve made the move over to Bluesky and the science community is growing. Would love to see more people over there - If anyone wants to try it out, I’ve got some invite codes, just dm me

Interested in chemical biology? PTMs? Protein Degradation? Proteomics? We're recruiting postdocs! If you're interested in developing new chemical biology technologies then please reach out! burslemlab.com #chempostdoc

The 2023 Worm Art Show deadline is almost here. See you in Scotland! #wormart23 #worm23 @GeneticsGSA #celegans Enter here: forms.gle/WsbgQ8uCW7XG8M…

The time has come for our research specialist to head off to grad school (with 3 publications to his name) so we're looking for someone else to join us! Please reach out if you want to come and do some chemical biology with us! wd1.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/recruiti…

#NeuroTwitter (esp. #WormTwitter), if you know of lab tech positions in labs addressing neuro questions using C. elegans, please share! We have a bright & motivated undergrad. (with experience working with this awesome model system!) who's graduating soon & looking for a job.TIA!

@hoppzor @Neuro_musings I'll keep an ear out!

My BMS dept is hiring! TT, 12mo, teaching focused position, immunologists welcome! Happy to DM about the dept and uni - please RT! career.qu.edu/en-us/job/4945…

@hoppzor @bess_frost @elizabethmochoa @UTHealthBiomed @UTHealthBarshop Thanks for this! I know of a few opportunities (including my lab!). Happy to chat any time

Congratulations to DR. Elizabeth Ochoa ⁦@elizabethmochoa⁩ who rocked her dissertation defense this week! Dr. Ochoa discovered that pathogenic forms of Tau drive production of transposable element-derived inflammatory double stranded RNA in human, mouse, and fly tauopathy.

This award changed my postdoctoral career and opened a whole bunch of opportunities up for me. Apply apply apply if eligible

@ovais_docmed Thank you for sharing this!

@nliachko I would like to share with you my work on Inverse relationship between #Alzheimers and #cancer in terms of molecular mechanisms and cellular pathways. bmcneurol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

What drives the worse clinical and path outcomes for individuals with #Alzheimer's who have co-morbid TDP-43 pathology? Check out our new Perspectives article (kind of a hybrid mini-review + opinions) for our thoughts: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@IUBiology is looking for an Asst/Assoc Prof that focuses on virology and I am hoping some of my #RNA virology friends can spread the word (maybe even some of you are interested in applying?)--but with all the ads, why apply to this one?

You often hear that a big reason people choose academia is "freedom". In that context, it's fascinating that we academics tend to build structures & expectations that constrain what success is "supposed to" look like.

@GMBurslem @Penn_CBIO @NIHDirector So awesome, congratulations!!!

Very excited to finally be able to share that our team from @Penn_CBIO has been awarded an @NIHDirector's Transformative Research Award! commonfund.nih.gov/tra/recipients #NIHHighRisk

@DrEmilyGoldberg @NIH_CommonFund Yes!!! Super exciting!

@AreyLab @NIH_CommonFund Rock on! That is awesome!!!
