Beautiful new work by @manduh21.bsky.social and our team! Clumsy, a kainate-type glutamate receptor, mediates noxious cold sensation and cold behavioral avoidance in fruit flies. This expands our prior work demonstrating this class of receptors also functions as a cold receptor in worms and mammals.
Cold sensing by a glutamate receptor drives avoidance behavior in Drosophila larvae https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.05.680544v1

New preprint with @manduh21.bsky.social ! 🎉 We introduce LabGym, an open-source AI platform for analyzing C. elegans behavior.🪱
LabGym makes worm behavior analysis accurate, customizable, and accessible, no coding or costly setup required.

Worm meeting bucketlist:
✅ Photo with Nobel laureate (and @manduh21.bsky.social)
Thank you Dr. Ambros, for spending time with early stage scientists!
I love this community 🪱 #Worm25
