Later that night at the poster session, @amit25uab.bsky.social will present his work on using AlphaFold and Deep Learning approaches to predict and de-orphanize neuropeptide-GPCR pairs, inspired and building off of previous experimental validation work from Beets Lab (603A).

In parallel, Craig Peters will present work he started as an undergrad examining the role of cell-intrinsic timers, specifically LIN-41, in the maturation of the nervous system during the adolescence to adult transition (Genetics I, Conf. Center Ballroom) chaired by Brandon Carpenter and myself

First, Gabbi Prince will present her work on how cell-extrinsic factors, specifically chemical neurotransmission, regulate post-embryonic nervous system maturation (Neurobiology 1 Session, California Hall, 9:06AM). Check out all the other great talks in the session including @csybio.bsky.social

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 🧐🤓
