π₯my latest paper from @odedrechavi.bsky.social labπ₯
we found small RNAs act across tissues to regulate fertlity in C. elegans πͺ±. Surprisingly, we also found that O2-sensing neurons inhibit germline maintenance. Follow along our journeyπhttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.07.669182v1

Really interesting preprint on how the nervous-system modulates heat-dependent fertility. Work from @ethanewe.bsky.social from @odedrechavi.bsky.social lab. May well be relevant in a planet that is heating up.

@ethanewe.bsky.social is on the job market and you want him as your colleague! On top of everything that he already published he also has a few especially amazing papers in the works... (soon!)

Scientists, lecturer, mother.
My research is on C. elegans, longevity and ageing.
I β€οΈ popular science books and always look for recommendations.
I like long walks and πΊ (preferably together). My thoughts are my own.
I like worms, genomes, & evolution.
