Such an inspiring research program! Not to mention the beautiful images 🤩 #worm25

#worm25 gets to celebrate our keynote speaker Anne Villenueve, introduced by JoAnne Engebrecht for her creativity, clarity, & compassion, along with the many contributions her lab has made to chromosome biology. 🙌

I’m so exited for #worm25! It’s already off to a great start with the teaching workshop.
If you’re interested in how worms respond to environmental stress from microplastics + environmental chemicals, come by my group’s poster, 858A on Sunday night!

Research Saves Lives
At Hopkins, we just went live with an expansive website showing the extraordinary value of research, the impact of cuts to research, what's at stake, resources for our research community, etc.

I'm incredibly excited to share my lab's first pre-print!

We show that microplastics (MPs) mediate the delivery of a plasticizer, di-butyl phthalate (DBP), to C. elegans & alter reproduction and lifespan.

Microplastic-mediated delivery of di-butyl phthalate alters C. elegans lifespan and reproductive fidelity
Microplastics harbor chemical additives and absorb pollutants from the environment. Microplastics pose a human health threat and have been found in nearly all human tissues. The toxicological pathways...

“a key feature of this community became abundantly clear: Worm people tend to help one other.”
This statement is true and why I love the worm community. Despite the chaos, I will keep training young scientists, in the ways of this incredible community.

If on some days you are tempted to give up and throw in the towel - DON'T! Don't let them win. Science on! Try to make it work. We can do this!

Last week St. Mary's University hosted the 2025 Research Showcase.
Students from my group shared their projects on microplastic toxicity with posters and oral presentations. They have accomplished so much and it was great to see them shine.
THIS is what scientists look like!

The administration undermines efforts to reduce plastics. But plastic never will be disposable, and neither are the people it poisons.

Im so proud of Chiara Maldonado for winning a poster award at #ABRCMS2024. She’s a force in the lab & great scientist.
Keep an eye out for her, she’s looking for summer research positions and PhD programs in the near future- she’s going places! 🤩

My students have an ABRCMS meeting feed just for our group. The amount of joy I see in their pictures and posts is 🥰😍❣️
This gang is amazing. See for yourself (5 of the 19).

I love this! I know my research students are rocking it. Thanks @teachbiomedsci.bsky.social for making this possible. 🤩
This is just one shuttle load of my students attending ABRCMS in Pittsburgh. The future of science looks 🥰 amazing. And I’m here for it.
