Neurogeneticist studying sex differences in neurobiology & behavior in C. elegans. Prof @ Univ of Rochester. Love to travel and cook almost as much as I love worms. Dog dad and partner of the amazing human @mudblood007. More at https://portman-lab.org
Fellow federally funded scientists, CALL your representative and senators and tell them the shenanigans at NIH are endangering scientific progress, health security, and jobs. Then badger your colleagues to do it too!

Somatic gonad morphogenesis in C. elegans requires the heterochronic pathway acting through HBL-1 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.11.623063v1
Wise words.
No problem and thank you!!
Hi Swathi - would very much appreciate it if you could add me to your list!
@mariamikedis.bsky.social Hi Maria! Great to cross paths with you again after all these years. Hope you’re doing well!
I am honored to take on the role of inaugural Associate Dean for Research Mentorship at the @urochester.bsky.social SMD! Excited to work with leadership and all stakeholders to empower the next generation of scientists and foster a thriving mentoring culture. Together, we can make a positive impact!
So many people here now- thought I would reintroduce myself!
I am an Assistant Prof at BCM in TX. I love behavior, neuroscience, and using worms to study those things.
I love food and drink more!

Congratulations to newly minted Dr. Gregory Reilly, who successfully defended his PhD thesis last week. We're putting together a paper on his work on sexual modulation of behavioral states in C. elegans now - hopefully you'll be able to read about it soon!
Hello Bluesky pals! I’m beginning my migration to this kinder, gentler, and way cooler place & am looking forward to hanging out with y’all 😜
