Very excited to share this finding from my postdoctoral work that is now published in #ScienceAdvances. We show how the gut’s epithelium modifies enteric behaviors during nutritional adversity via distinct peptidergic signaling axes. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Thread ⬇️ (1/n)

Gut epithelium modifies enteric behaviors during nutritional adversity via distinct peptidergic signaling axes

Gut epithelium modulates output from distinct enteric circuits by altering secretion of insulin and noninsulin peptides.

Congrats to the winners of the #Worm25 poster competition! Thanks to all students who entered (285) — such great research! Thanks to all poster judge volunteers who judged presenters (220 postdocs and faculty!) Given >1200 attendees, that’s a high % who participated in this competition!

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

Marc Dionne@marcsdionne.bsky.social · last yr.

My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate. www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

Keith was a kind and thoughtful scientist. My memories of him as a student in the Harvard BBS program were that he was always thoughtful and even-keeled and cared about students

Sad to learn we lost Keith Blackwell, an unsung hero of the aging field. Keith showed rapamycin extends C. elegans lifespan, that mTORC2 has diet-dependent effects on aging, and linked together skn1 TOR splicing and aging. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Absolutely thrilled to announce the launch of ARTIC2 - a £5.5M 5 year project funded by @wellcometrust.bsky.social to build on the ARTIC approach of low-cost, globally accessible genome sequencing for surveillance of outbreaks, epidemics and endemic diseases: www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2025/am...

Ambitious project to develop low-cost genome sequencing for pathogens known and unknown - University of Birmingham

Project will build on research that helped diagnostic labs to adopt sequencing capacity for COVID-19 and permit characterisation of future infectious threats

Unexpectedly challenging conditions on Thursday, with the sun glaring, the water choppy and the dolphins non-committal, but I quite like this set of one above and below the waves at the harbour entrance.

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!

Up on biorxiv! The tour de force protein tagging atlas for the #Celegans cuticle #aECM - from Jordan Ward @gotworms.bsky.social and Andrew Chisholm labs. So many beautiful images of cuticle collagen substructures !! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
