Evolution of polyphenism in nematodes. Superb integration of genetics & genomics. Erik Ragsdale @wormsbite from @IUBiology #PASEDB2025 #plasticity #wormseateachother
An excellent balance of evo&devo - Justin Bryant @IUBiology is showing developmental canalization of polyphenism #PASEDB2025 #worms #polyphenism #coreevodevo #canalization #classicquestion
10 years to Masaan today. A film that didn’t succeed commercially and still permeated through the hearts of so many who interacted with it. Always grateful for the journey we took, the leap of faith we were allowed to make, and the love that keeps pouring in even after a decade.…
Congrats to @EmoryBCDB GS Taylor & coworkers on this new preprint from our lab using Drosophila to model neurodevelopmental disorders! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Science Twitter 🚨 I’m working on a talk about applying to PhD Programs during the next cycle. I was wondering, do you know of any potential changes due to cuts in federal funding? Is there anything that applicants should be doing differently for this cycle? Thank you! 🤍
