I'm happy to share our latest work published in Current Biology. We demonstrate that C. elegans males sense cuticular cues and body stiffness to recognize mates.
A wonderful journey in collaborations with @wormraiser @Pujol_lab

@ChemicalBiology How can an author reach someone involved in this otherwise excellent journal to get a response about a paper hanging for >4 months? The author emailed Kerri, the managing editor and even Prof Kiessling!

Beauty and brains. Literally and figuratively. The bright minds and architecture of Caltech's Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute for Neuroscience building is a truly remarkable feat. 📷: @caltech #visitpasadena #pasadenaca #caltech #architecturephotography
