Join the CGC Team at the University of Minnesota!
Love worms and want to serve your community? Join the CGC and be instrumental in distributing C. elegans to the worldwide research community. After 27 years of dedication to fulfilling our C. elegans needs, Theresa Stiernagle is retiring. The CGC seeks a replacement with significant worm experience (picking, scoring phenotypes, familiarity with interpreting genotypes, etc.), extreme attention to detail, and the ability to work efficiently and independently. An official job posting will be forthcoming, but in the meantime, inquiries can be made at cgc@umn.edu. (Source: WormBase)

C. elegans as a model for studying human diseases
There is a growing body of literature showing that C. elegans is a great model that contributes to the study of human disease. Recently Dr. Andy Golden alerted us to this bit of news: Check out the show ‘Diagnosis’ on Netflix by the New York Times (episode 4). There is a very rare disease caused by mutations in the human KCNMA1 gene. If you study slo-1, perhaps you can help these patients. (Source: WormBase)
