Still thinking about Martha’s question: do worms make noise? Can they hear each other?

Was no better getting there from Chicago for me! Two flights cancelled, but also undeterred will be there soon! #Worm25

Frontiers | Chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) protein function in S1P-induced Rac1 activation requires membrane localization of the C-terminus, but not thiol-transferase nor ion channel activities
