I know a very talented researcher who received the U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP in neuroscience (amazing!) but was not admitted to any PhD programs this cycle. Any #neuroscience PhD prgms able to consider a trainee with 3 yrs funding so they don't need to decline the award? (Can't defer it seems)

Are you graduating in the next few months and looking for a post-bac/tech position? We are hiring! This can be a great opportunity to learn several skills before taking the next step in your career.

Hi #AcademicTwitter I'm looking for software to analyze movement in my planarians. Currently, BioTracker's background subtraction tracker plugin is giving me issues. Can anyone help/offer alternatives? Thanks! #WormScience #VideoTracking

#SfN2023 if you’re still here, come check out the collaborative work between me and my amazing colleague Taylor Medlock-Lanier at poster Y6 until 5!

This is a great guide on picking a lab for graduate study! Although I didn’t get to meet Ben Barres, his impactful work and mentorship philosophy lives on.

Academics when they realize it’s August.

Looking for planarians with the Van Wolfswinkel lab at the International Rose Test Garden during a break at #NAPM2023

WOW! What a day! NAPM 2023 has been phenomenal so far! We have heard so much amazing research from a variety of worm labs. I love being a #wormscientist and I love collaborating with Kendall Clay

Question: is anyone in #regeneration #neuroregeneration organizing a #nanosymposium at Society for Neuroscience (SfN) - I work on dopaminergic neuron regeneration in #planarians and would love to coordinate ahead of the abstract deadline if possible!

Got my letter from Letters to a Pre-Scientist #MailboxSelfie #LetterOpeningParty #STEMforAll #STEMpenPals I’m excited!!

So proud of our group and especially Dr. RG! Dr. Rachel Roberts-Galbraith gave a great tenure talk!

Do you like #tardigrades and #astronauts and supporting #gradstudents bc you should get a shirt from us on Bonfire bonfire.com/tardigrades-in… Also message me if there’s another cool organism you want to see on a shirt!

Hi! Check out some science merch designed by me to support our graduate student association bonfire.com/store/dbgsa/?u…

I'm so happy to share our preprint on the role of planarian transcriptional complex scaffolding proteins LDB and SSDP in regeneration! I started this work in Newmark/Issigonis Lab's lab and then continued it at UGA with Taylor Medlock-Lanier and Kendall Clay. 1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
