25 yrs ago today, I walked into an empty lab @BrandeisLS - excited but clueless. 🙏🏾to all who joined me in that lab for the rollercoaster ride of exhilaration & occasional despondence. Also 🙏🏾to my village of mentors, friends & long-suffering family. Happy 25th b'day to us!

is now the zeitgeist where i finally write that piece about how the c. elegans field (especially @wormbase / wormbook / @Micropub7n) is so supportive of #openscholarship and #education, cuz i've been thinking about this for literally three years

C elegans can be cryopreserved as young larvae. Some strains may not freeze well & require live passaging once or twice a week. This research organism is well-suited for a shutdown. @wormbase bit.ly/34kmnXU
