Very grateful to @byneuron.bsky.social for his unwavering support and mentorship with many project ideas over the years (beginning as a rotation student in my first year of grad school!) 🥹

Proud to share this work, which we spearheaded as a team with several early-career scientists (including myself and the brilliant @manduh21.bsky.social )🌱

Grateful to @byneuron.bsky.social for continued mentoring & encouraging us to harness LabGym’s abilities across model organisms!

We developed LabGym models capable of automatic quantification of key worm behaviors:

🪱 Forward vs. reverse locomotion
🪱 Omega bends & overlapping postures
🪱 Multi-worm tracking
🪱 Quantifying behavior across lifespan

Our approach can be customized by users to include other behaviors of interest.

Can you add me? Thanks!

LabGym has been used in reseach across many labs. The latest example is this excellent study from
@jjemrick.bsky.social lab. cell.com/cell-reports...
@cp-cellreports.bsky.social @elizabithian.bsky.social

This “administration” acts like it’s playing musical chairs with people’s lives.

🫶 didn’t expect it to feel so healing. very grateful to be a part of it.

Humming this as I sadly pack my luggage to leave 🥲

We’ve tried to look into the sound frequencies of rustling leaves etc to see if worm crawling could elicit detectable frequencies🤔

Proud moment witnessing our very own talented graduate student Xu Bai present the lab’s most recent work in C elegans auditory sensation!
