In 1975 "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Space Oddity" were on the UK top 100, and Ward, Thomson, White, and Brenner published the first reconstruction of the C. elegans sensory anatomy.
A short 50 years later, we reconstructed the same neurons and glia in the embryo:

Still time to apply for @uoregon.bsky.social Summer Program for Undergraduate Research — a paid 10-week research opportunity this summer for undergrads in the life sciences.
Details in the flyer below.
Please share.
Congrats to @errricpeterman.bsky.social and Pearl on their study following calcium dynamics in tissue-resident macrophages of the skin!
