While our whole field has been experiencing undeserved turmoil, a few of us have been fortunate enough to receive positive news on funding. This link describes positions that are now open in the Fay Lab. Perhaps some who’ve been displaced can find a home with us. 1/2

Thank you, Karen! See you at #Worm25
Thank you, Javier!
Thank you, Coleen!
Congratulations Dr. Inna Nikonorova @inikon.bsky.social on her new @pkdfoundation.bsky.social grant, which is an amazing patient-advocacy and patient-funded research award mechanism. #adpkd #cilia #extracellularvesicles #celegans

Excited to share that I've been awarded a research grant from @pkdfoundation.bsky.social to advance our work on polycystin signaling via extracellular vesicles in C. elegans, with the goal of uncovering new mechanisms relevant to polycystic kidney disease. #cilia #extracellularvesicles
Group of PCTI high school juniors and researchers after a day in the lab. In the center is the HS teacher Dr. Deanna DeVore and her thesis advisor Maureen Barr. Students are holding two research posters of Dr. De Vore's thesis work.
Smiling Dr. De Vore in a microscope room, where she spent much time as a grad student. In the background is a scientist showing HS student an image on a computer screen
Five HS students focused on looking in dissecting microscopes at C. Elegans. Some are taking notes. The scientist teaching the unit is standing in the back.
Four HS students seeing and learning about neurons that are labeled by GFP in living C. elegans. The instructor is animated and using her hands to express excitement
The Barr Lab welcomed back PhD alum Dr. Deanna De Vore and her 40 juniors from Passaic County Technical-Vocational Schools.
IRACDA postdoc @katiejacobs.bsky.social led this all-hands-on-deck lab field day, which also included a Rutgers campus tour. These bright, young scholars are our future!
Thank you, Tatiana!
Thank you, Karen!
Thank you, Coleen!
Just out! We used C. elegans to trace the cargo of ciliary EVs and found that their loading is a regulated process involving polycystins. @barrlab.bsky.social communities.springernature.com/posts/tiny-m...
