Soil nematodes to the rescue
Meet the tiny superheroes — Acrobeloides Maximus a.k.a. nematodes
These microscopic worms can turn filthy lakes crystal clean in just one week!
A Gujarat University researcher bred them in jelly-like balls to clean Ahmedabad’s dirtiest lakes — including Kankaria & Virat Sarovar — dropping water pollution levels dramatically.
Eco-friendly, low-cost & safe for aquatic life.
Would you want these wonder worms in your city’s lakes? 💧✨

First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that.
This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases.
I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known.
People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at octant.bio.

For all executive orders, trans focused and not, a good rule of thumb is to think hard on whether Article II gives the president the power to act. In the US, we have a gov't of limited powers, folks.

What non-Chinese company can you recommend to create CRISPR'd C. elegans strains? Public institutions of higher ed in Texas aren't allowed to contract goods or services from Chinese companies since 11/2024. (I just got funds in to pay for my SunyBioTech quote from 10/2024.) :(

Post chai ☕️, we had a lively talk by @WormlockHolmes on traffic jams in neurons and how that’s impacted by the environment, cargo and motors! Her energy and passion came through and was matched by the enthusiastic questions from the audience!
