Looking at how genetic and environmental factors impact meiosis

The writer Joanna Weiss spent time visiting my lab and our local worm meeting and talking with us.

She highlights curiosity-driven science, the humor and supportiveness of the community, and the need for funding.

"Put simply: If you want to understand how cells work, it’s useful to ask a worm."

Delighted to share this timely article in Boston magazine on our local C. elegans community and the effects of NIH freezes.

"There might be no group more enthusiastic, self-aware, or life-affirming than the worm people."
