Great

Excited to be at the University of Kentucky to give a seminar hosted by @emduncan.bsky.social

Wanted to report a significant outcome. 0.05 snow fall accumulation in Atlanta.

Really proud of our 8 @oglethorpeuniv.bsky.social seniors who presented posters on their C. elegans pipeline CURE data, along with the whole mentorship team! @aliciakrogers.bsky.social @odedrechavi.bsky.social

Very excited to have @aliciakrogers.bsky.social here today in person @oglethorpeuniv.bsky.social to discuss data with our undergraduates as part of our C. elegans Pipeline CURE!

Interview with Nicole Roos and Anthony Wokasch: winners of the MBL Embryology course image competition   - the Node Last September marked the return of our image competition with the MBL Embryology course at Woods Hole. The 2025 cohort submitted

Exciting to see our Emory University Genetics and Molecular Biology students pursuing their passion for science and imaging! Way to go Nicole! thenode.biologists.com/interview-wi...

Amazing lab. Terrific opportunity!

Was really privileged to play a very small part in providing feedback on the development. Once again @odedrechavi.bsky.social innovating science. Brilliant!

Really excited to host @jasonsynaptic.bsky.social @emoryuniversity.bsky.social

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Awesome science!

Really enjoyed my visit

LOL

Happy to be back @princeton.edu , where I received fabulous PhD training, to give a talk in MolBio and serve as a Health Science panelist for the Many Minds Many Stripes 125th Graduate Anniversary celebration!

Really looking forward to visiting Rutgers and @barrlab.bsky.social tomorrow!

If the same thing is true in the corresponding human patients, might it be possible to revert cognitive/behavior deficits in the human patients also?

So, expressing germline genes in neurons can block their function in a way that is reversible if you shut off the inappropriate transcription

Turning off the ectopic germline gene expression in the neurons of worms that already have a chemotaxis behavior defect, reverses the behavior back to normal

So, could the chemotaxis behavior defect be due to an ongoing defect in an intact nervous system? If so, might it be possible to reverse the chemotaxis behavior defect even after the nervous system has fully formed?

And an intact nervous system

No changes in the embryonic lineage

Progeny of spr-5 (lsd1) and met-2 (setdb1) double mutants have germline genes expressed in somatic cells, which causes a severe chemotaxis behavior defect, but surprise...

The invariant C. elegans lineage and adult nervous system provide the perfect opportunity to find out how every cell responds to inappropriately inherited chromatin and altered transcription

Ever wonder how something as broad as a chromatin mutant causes cell specific phenotypes?

Very excited to share our very exciting story on how misinherited chromatin affects individual cells to cause a behavior defect in C. elegans (a thread👇) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

So proud of my graduate student Monica Reeves for winning program student of the year in the Genetics and Molecular Biology program at Emory University @emory-gmb.bsky.social

Really cool. Looking forward to reading it. The Peters’ lab publishes amazing science.

A lot of important views expressed here. I am just curious how the potential to flood the zone with fake papers feeds into all of this?

Very excited to be back at the Epigenetics GRC, this time in Barcelona! #epigeneticsgrc2025
