The Central Michigan University contingent had a fantastic time at #wormtopicmeeting2026 in Madison! C. elegans meetings are the best

Remarkable talk from my former postdoc @bscarp84.bsky.social who is doing great science @kennesawstate.bsky.social #wormtopicmeeting2026

It was my great pleasure to get to introduce the great Jane Hubbard as the keynote speaker at the MAPSS+DevCell C. elegans topic meeting last night #wormtopicmeeting2026

Posing with doctoral student Allen Sun at his poster #Celegans #wormtopicmeeting2026

The most awesome @akw-lab.bsky.social is talking about SAM and 1C metabolism at #MAPSS #wormtopicmeeting2026

Doctoral student Fatema presented her first conference poster at #wormtopicmeeting2026 ! So grateful for the supportive #Celegans community!

🎶 Here's the story of a wormy meeting 🎶
We hear the true tale of how two C. elegans meetings reunite in Madison to form one powerhouse worm lineage! #MAPSS 🤝 #DevCell

Amazing working with Ryo Sanabria, Danielle Garsin, Rob Dowen, Jordan Ward, Swathi Arur and Jennifer Schisa to organize the MAPSS+DevCell 2026 topic meeting here in Madison, WI #wormtopicmeeting2026

Goodbye Madison! The Lee lab had a great time at #MAPSS + #DevCell, including the time-honored tradition of nametag swapping on the last night. See y'all in Japan! 🪱 🇯🇵🪱 🇯🇵 🪱

And I found my other assigned attendee Emma Murari at the GSA Education workshop at lunch today! #Celegans #MAPSS #DevCell #wormtopicmeeting2026

It’s CSD lab T-shirt day at #wormtopicmeeting2026 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Such a wonderful venue for a conference, with lovely weather today!
#Celegans

What a fantastic first full day of #MAPSS + #DevCell! We kicked off bright & early with @katzlab.bsky.social, where I chaired the Cell Bio of Aging session, and ended with a gorgeous sunset on the famous UW terrace with worm friends old & new (incl @kacylynn.bsky.social!) 🪱

A new result from Brandon's CURE class, hot off the presses!! He got laughs when describing how his students were disappointed by their unexpected result, and were rewarded with an impromptu lecture about the awesome power of worm epistasis 😅

What a small 🪱 world! My fellow #wormtopicmeeting2026 poster organizer @giosg.bsky.social and I realized we were at *the same* 2008 DevCell meeting. It was Gio's first time in the States, so he took photos in scenic places. It was my first time in the Midwest, so I took photos of cheese curds 😅
