@michaelhendricks.bsky.social we are discussing Posner et al 2019 in my Neurogenetics undergrad seminar class! So cool!

600+ out tonight at a free stargazing party Sugarbush hosted by @vermontpublic.org ! Yay science!

I didn't catch it, do we know where the next international worm conference will be? #worm25

2025 Worm Show

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!

Doing my part to spread the worm gospel -- short term microscopy course (spring 2025).

The talented Christina Shin Landmark/CCV summer undergraduate student studying some interesting worm mutants.

Summer in full swing here in Maine. Wish we were at #worm25 !

Ever wondered about who Michaelis and Menton were? Learn more here…

For scientists studying aging and neurodegeneration, #Celegans are an ideal model organism, especially for Basic Research. Let's learn why! 🪱 🧪 🤝

🚨 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?

I feel the need to share the joy of teaching and the good things happening in my classroom in these dark days.

Using the injury current discovery and Bernstein's membrane hypothesis to build up to local circuit currents in intro neurobiology.

Thanks @edyong209.bsky.social for Immense World! Used it as the springboard for teaching first years and non-majors sensory biology and the diverse and wondrous animal Umwelt you described for us. A wonderful book I will frequently revisit!

Greetings all! I am a professor at a PUI studying synaptic vesicles and the role of proton pumping. We use the roundworm C. elegans as our model system. Thanks @wormsense.bsky.social for the invite!
