New preprint: Variable environments select for short lifespan bit.ly/315gT1n by Martin Lind Irja Ratikainen – theoretical model and experimental evolution agree. 5 different temperature regimes (mostly warming), 30 pops, 30 gens – fast temp cycles select for short lifespan.



Thank you Stephanie Kath-Schorr for your pledge and for tagging me in. While I fully support the good intentions of this pledge, I also strongly believe we need to do much more than chain tweets or showcasing the diversity of our labs. We need action because #BlackLivesMatter ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿



We have a 4-year PhD position available funded by @NRPDTP and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research together with Wheeler Lab 🐸🔬



UK Worm Meeting is back on January 13 2023, at the UEA. This an excellent opportunity for ECRs working with C. elegans (or other nematodes) to present their work. Please save the date! The Genetics Society Alexei Maklakov @TaylorLabLMB Zahida Sultanova


Interdisciplinary PhD position to study vitamin B12 at the Warren Lab Quadram Institute and supported by us Akay Lab.

We have a 4-year Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research funded NRPDTP PhD position on RNA modifications and gene expression. If you are excited about genetics, embryonic development and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, do apply. Funding is for UK students only. #RNA #phd @biouea Earlham Institute biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/regul…



Last 5 five days to apply for these PhD projects spanning RNA biology and vitamin B12 in C. elegans! Yiliang Ding The Taylor Lab Martin Warren Quadram Institute John Innes Centre @biouea Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research NRPDTP #UKRIFLF

UK Worm Meeting 2024 registration is now open. Keynotes from Germano Cecere @cecerelab and Marie-Anne Felix. Register and submit abstracts for talks and posters. The Genetics Society @biouea Magnitude Biosciences EMbody Biosignals Ltd. #UKWORM24 theakaylab.com/?page_id=331


Our lab’s 1st paper is now online Nucleic Acids Res. We show that U6 snRNA m6A methylation is required for pre-mRNA splicing in C.elegans and humans.
