Friends! I am so happy to share our new preprint!
Hydrogen peroxide has been the most common reactive chemical threat to life forms since the Great Oxygenation Event 2.5 billion years ago.
How do animals like C. elegans sense it fast and escape?

Make males live more than 400% longer and prevent sexual disfunction late in life?! We're down with it. Our latest preprint: Disruption of the insulin signaling pathway in C. elegans dramatically increases male longevity and enhances reproductive health late in life. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

More new science from the lab! Led by @nathancsharris.bsky.social (now at GA State) and PD Priya Dutta.
We describe how experience tunes the ratios of functional receptors in a single sensory neuron via coordinating transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms to drive response plasticity.

I started an Aging Research starter pack. Feels very sparse right now, so (1) let me know who I missed and (2) we need to recruit a few folks who abandoned science twitter some time ago back into the fold.
