Postdoc in the @Zimmer_Lab doing worm neuroscience in Vienna. Love heritable RNAs, philosophy, history of science & DeepLearning. Obsessed with C. elegans.
🧵 New preprint led by @bingbrunton.bsky.social, @elliottabe.bsky.social, @lawrencehu.bsky.social We gave a worm brain control of a fly body and it walked What did we learn? Nothing, other than deep reinforcement learning is effective We call it the digital sphinx www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
🔥my latest paper from @odedrechavi.bsky.social lab🔥 we found small RNAs act across tissues to regulate fertlity in C. elegans 🪱. Surprisingly, we also found that O2-sensing neurons inhibit germline maintenance. Follow along our journey👇https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.07.669182v1
The expectation that academics will keep working as usual (teaching, experimenting, reviewing) no matter what crazy thing happens never gets old - what the hell?
I also want to always to science in couples! Beautiful science by @itamarlev.bsky.social and Stephanie J Eder! #TCTeAC
Second time it happens to me that all the interesting genes of my project are together in the genome. Before epigenetics, now motor control. It cannot be random.

After a long wait, our paper is out! We show that differences in learning between the sexes are modulated by the NPY receptor, which gates sensory perception. Great work by PhD student, soon to be Dr, Sonu Kurien www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Modulation by NPY/NPF-like receptor underlies experience-dependent, sexually dimorphic learning - Nature Communications
Experience-dependent decision-making is vital for survival. Here, authors uncover how the neuromodulator npr-5 regulates sex- and state-specific learning in C. elegans, shaping behavioral responses.
