Fantastic 1st opening night of #Worm25. Excited for the 1st full day (Sunday) tomorrow...Sun Lab has dueling ⚔️ talks in the 1st parallel sessions between #TeamGeneticTimer vs. #TeamEnvironment as well as a poster at night.
Time flies. It has been 10 years first my first IWM! Can't wait to introduce the next generation of scientists to the amazing 🪱 community! Sun Lab members have worked hard and are ready to share their science at #Worm25. Stay tuned for daily preview of work that will be presented at #Worm25

End of an era for the Sun Lab! Molly Reynolds and Ananya Theneti, the last two of the first cohort of undergrads are leaving the nest! 🥹It has been incredible to see their growth as young scientists, and I cannot wait to see them continue to flourish in their careers!

Super fun and invigorating visit by the incomparable Victor Ambros as part of @uabcdib.bsky.social trainee-selected Michael Miller Memorial Seminar! Amongst the chaos of the world, it was a good reminder of the reasons and motivations that got us all into research in the first place 🧐🤓

Sad to not retain @csybio.bsky.social in the US but so incredibly excited for what’s to come! Run, don’t walk, to get in on the ground floor of some really exciting science!
I feel so incredibly honoured to announce that I've just accepted an offer to join UBC Zoology as an assistant professor. I have met so many brilliant trainees and scientists while on the job market. I also connected with so many amazing and passionate teaching faculty.
