@aliciakrogers I am here too! can't wait to catch up with you :)

On my way to #TAGC24! Excited to see all the great science, catch up with friends, and share our work. Friday night, Trilotma Sen (1326F) and I (1317F) will present posters on an RNAi-to-RNAi cascade that developmentally regulates RNAi function. Come check it out! 🪱🧬

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 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

New paper with @hall__melissa, Melanie Kambadur, @elepre17, and @adinamwilliams: doi.org/10.48550/arXiv… 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 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@tiffmschmidt @NUneurobio congratulations!!!

Guys I GOT TENURE! This means so much and is such a long journey. First and foremost, it's really not possible without an amazing lab. I work with such talented and motivated people. Also not possible without the mentorship of my colleagues in @NUneurobio for the past five years!

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. #secsectitle0020" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cell.com/current-biolog…

@tiffmschmidt @littlebrain302 Thank you Tiff :)

@peinguin2 @littlebrain302 Good luck! Can’t wait to see your future work!!

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

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!

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

Hi, I am Pei :)
