This week, the TWU School of the Sciences (SotT) gave me the Heart Award because of the positive feedback students had given the person who picked the winner. I am very grateful for this recognition, and thankful to those who came up to me afterward to tell me it was well deserved.

The Genetics Society of America mentioned the service my colleagues, friends, and I did at the International C. elegans Conference (Worm25) this summer, and the poster presenter awardees, in Genes to Genomes! Thanks again to all who judged!

Congrats to the winners of the #Worm25 poster competition!

Thanks to all students who entered (285) — such great research!

Thanks to all poster judge volunteers who judged presenters (220 postdocs and faculty!)

Given >1200 attendees, that’s a high % who participated in this competition!

My favorite part about #Worm25 (aside from all the great science) is getting to meet so many clients for the first time IRL and not in a Zoom window! Thanks @drgtwu.bsky.social for visiting and sending some new folks our way at InVivo Biosystems! 🪱🧬

C. elegans #worm25 organizer, collaborator, mentor, and friend Cathy Savage-Dunn tells her story and how NIH supports her work and her community, in light of the recent NIH funding changes. We need more of this public-facing news. Thanks, Cathy!
