Great opportunity and submissions are a little down so nominate your outstanding recent graduate, worm peeps!

For the life of me, I cannot fathom the rationale for any of this. Utter wanton destruction of one of the best research ecosystems in the world.

Cool! I hope it goes well! I had a good experience with our recent submission

There is so much cool #aECM work going on but most of the researchers don’t know or talk to each other; this is an attempt to change that! Link below

Am so excited about this series. The virtual worm skin workshop was one of the best meetings for my lab and getting more model systems will be🔥

Catching up with documenting #worm25! Here, the worm public eagerly awaits the Worm Show with beverages courtesy of genetics-friend S. cerevisiae.

Better late than never, made it to #Worm25 late last night. Such a great morning catching up with old friends and seeing some great science!

So happy to hear this! I’ve supposedly got an R35 selected for funding but the NOA is taking forever. Moving forward and hoping for the best

Thanks Khursheed!

Thanks Xantha! We’re proud of this one!

Right?! That was such a cool finding by Andrew.

Thanks Matt! There is so much to be done with these strains!

Thanks Varsha! Has been a very fun project and am excited to get it out in the world!

Thanks for the shout out @meera-sundaram.bsky.social ! This was such a fun project! 101 knock-ins and counting and they all had such cool and unique localization pattern and substructures!

It’s baby turkey season! @ucscscience.bsky.social

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!! Crazy game. Can’t believe they scored two goals in final two min with goalie pulled and won it in double OT!

Yes!!! I was so excited that you’re coming and we can meet!

Looking very forward to your UCSC visit!

Ugh, that is so awful David.

Really excited about this collaborative work and a great experience with Review Commons

Yuuuuuup!

Ours too!

(A) Allelic variation at Tabby controls color patterning—mackerel (Taᴹ) is dominant over blotched (Taᵇ). Diagrams show how the distribution of eumelanin (dark) and pheomelanin (light) within hairs contributes to coat patterns. (B) Taqpep encodes a type II membrane aminopeptidase. The T139N variant, found in feral cats, is associated with swirled patterns (P = 0.0017) but shows incomplete penetrance.

How did Coati get their stripes? Not yet known ... but we know how another Carnivore loses them! 3 mutations in gene TAQPEP changes a cat from tabby striped to blotchy #RIP #2025MMM www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Glad I could play a small part in this cool story!

Congrats Callista!

OMG, that's awesome. We didn't know there was an after-credit so left the theater with that gut punch. Later I read about an after-credit and so need to re-watch!

We were lucky enough to see it in a theater in December. We have a 🐈‍⬛ so it was very stressful!

Delighted to see Flow win best animated feature. Gorgeous, powerful film.

Sigh, that was my last week. Section cancelled yesterday
