Associate prof, UC Santa Cruz (Go Slugs!). Worm wrangler interested in mechanisms of developmental timing, ECMs and parasites. Love good food/drink, trail running, and my wife+2 silly cats. G3 associate editor and incoming WormBoard President.
Thanks Javier!!!

31.01.2026 04:48 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The CGC has added some cool functionality to improve the searchability of the site to help find appropriate strains for your research. We are working to create a consistent nomenclature. More collections to come in the future. Folks can ask questions on Worm Slack, the Alliance forum, or here! (2)
29.01.2026 21:18 β π 3 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Excited to see this out in the world. The CGC is launching a curated strains collection, the first being protein degradation systems and this is a pilot primer to pair with it authored by myself, Dave Reiner, Ann Rougvie, and Aric Daul. We review the state of the field and provide use guidance (1)
29.01.2026 21:16 β π 33 π 12 π¬ 5 π 0Thanks! We were really happy with how it turned out! I got a lot of emails asking for advice about the AID system and it felt like this primer was lacking. It was great to work with Dave, Ann, and Aric and I love the idea of the curated strain collections!

Aπ§΅about something we've been cooking up in lab with Jeremy Vicencio at the @crg.eu : technology that lets us reach inside living animals and precisely dial multiple proteins' levels up and down. 1/10

Exciting to see this work out in the world as it was one of the first projects launched when I started my lab.

Such a fun collaboration with @labgrosshans.bsky.social @partchlab.bsky.social
Shared mechanisms across distinct biological clocks:
Jordan Ward @gotworms.bsky.social , Helge Grosshans @labgrosshans.bsky.social & collaborators find the nematode homologs of mammalian circadian clock proteins PERIOD & CK1 to control developmental timing in worms
