Love worms, molecular genetics, and big questions? Weβre hiring a postdoc to build a CRISPRa toolkit to identify new aging mechanisms in C. elegans.
Email or DM me to find out more. Please share & repost!
Nachum Ulanovsky's book "βNatural Neuroscienceβ on taking a more ecological approach to neuroscience came out! Nachum is one of the world leaders in studying the brain using bats, and his studies are always incredibly interesting and original.

By September, we will know how the C. elegans brain works, and be able to manipulate it.

One step is court orders. Today, a small piece of good news for NIH.
Another step is large-scale protest.
Today I describe how these two components fit together: samwang.substack.com/p/for-us-sci...
