New preprint! It turns out you can integrate arrays with super high efficiency using PhiC31. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
High-efficiency targeted integration of extrachromosomal arrays in C. elegans using PhiC31 integrase
Extrachromosomal arrays are unique chromosome-like structures created from DNA injected into the C. elegans germline. Arrays are easy to create and allow for high expression of multiple transgenes. Th...

New findings help to explain why it has been so challenging to predict brain signaling from the connectome alone. By Holly Barker #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/connectome/w...
Worms help untangle brain structure/function mystery
The synaptic connectome of most animals bears little resemblance to functional brain maps, but it can still predict neuronal activity, according to two preprints that tackle the puzzle in C. elegans.

How can one not love the “Worm Community” !!! 🪱🪱👨🔬👩🔬🧑🔬👌🏼👌🏼 🫶🏼🫶🏼 #Worm25
I am excited (as usual) about attending #Worm25. But I am also sad that so many friends and colleagues can't be there. Because you know....insane policies and war and such. Hoping the science will provide at least a temporary distraction from the unending chaos.
Reproducibility is essential—but where to start? @nafisajadavji.bsky.social @funconn-worm.bsky.social @haeltermannele.bsky.social started @repro4everyone.bsky.social to enable researchers to adopt reproducibility best practices. Learn more about a recent workshop: buff.ly/DLbVTdj 2/2🧵

What would it take for us to step back from the brink of losing a functional democracy? One step is court orders. Today, a small piece of good news for NIH. Another step is large-scale protest. Today I describe how these two components fit together: samwang.substack.com/p/for-us-sci...
For U.S. science, a small step back from the brink
And an evidence-based path for you to help on Friday.
