Thanks for the shout out @meera-sundaram.bsky.social ! This was such a fun project! 101 knock-ins and counting and they all had such cool and unique localization pattern and substructures!

Delighted to share this timely article in Boston magazine on our local C. elegans community and the effects of NIH freezes. "There might be no group more enthusiastic, self-aware, or life-affirming than the worm people." www.bostonmagazine.com/news/c-elega...

New paper from postdoc Tuc HM Nguyen! Mitochondria have their own weird little genomes that evolve weirdly, all the while sharing a home with the buttoned-down conservative nuclear genome. Tuc used C. elegans to figure out what happens when genomes stop being polite and start getting real. 🧵

Hitchhiking in facultative sexuals e.g. baker's yeast: can reduce diversity across the genome and contribute to Lewontin’s paradox. Results relevant to anyone (e.g. me) who has looked but found few if any strong sweeps. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In college I thought I'd be an art historian, but in my third semester I took Elisabeth Vrba's course and it immediately converted me. With her advice I switched to a geology major. She helped me find a summer research internship at the AMNH and set me on the path that I'm still following.

It's very exciting that my lab's NHGRI grant, whose third-year funding was scheduled to arrive 10 days ago, gets to be part of this world-historical crime scene! (The grant includes the words diversity and underrepresented, each used in reference to both statistical and social phenomena)

I’m helping plan some great pro-DEI events at work and I thought, are we rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic? But then I decided we’re the iceberg. Some robber barons are going to learn a lesson about hubris.

🚨PIs of Training Grants and Programs, ESPECIALLY training grants that support students from historically excluded groups (T32s and T34s, IMSD, MARC, PREP, MOSAIC, etc.)🚨 We need to push back on the loss of information and the disappearance of websites about these resources.
