Wanted to post a video we accidentally forgot to show at the Worm art show #worm25 from the Van Buskirk lab @cswormlab.bsky.social @baristursun.bsky.social
Hope you all enjoy!

Thrilled to announce I am starting as Assistant Professor, Education Track, in the Dept of Neurological Sciences, University of Vermont College of Medicine! My focus is neuroscience undergraduate teaching and pedagogy while, of course, imparting the awesome power of C. elegans genetics!

Students at the bench learning to pick C. elegans from agar plates.
Doing my part to spread the worm gospel -- short term microscopy course (spring 2025).

🚨 Warning for those with helminthophobia or scoleciphobia
Just finished a big batch of NSF REU reference letters for promising undergraduates applying for summer internships. Will there even be REUs this summer? I am so worried. Do students and their families know how these programs are supported?
