    Excited to announce a new review paper on: "Role of simulation models in understanding the generation of behavior in C. elegans" within a special issue on Systems biology of model organisms.

    Today I received one of the best reviewer feedback to a paper that I've written - a review paper in this case. Not because it agreed with it, but because of how constructive their suggestions are for truly pushing forward the impact of my contribution. Thank you, thank you.

    I wrote an ethics statement for myself (a now senior professor): Feel free to hold me accountable for those principles. What should be in it that isn't?

    4/ And that the repeating ventral nerve cord unit comprising B- and A-class motoneurons with stretch-receptor feedback into B- from short-range regions immediately anterior to them (motivated by experimental findings by Wen et al., 2012) are sufficient to propagate the wave.

    3/ The model demonstrates that a minimal head motoneuron circuit comprising only SMD and RMD, with stretch-receptor feedback into SMD from the region immediately posterior to it, can produce head oscillations sufficient to drive locomotion, with or without a CPG or pacemaker.

    2/ We developed a model that integrates: head motoneuron circuit, repeating ventral nerve cord circuit, dorso/ventral muscles, and a mechanical body that can produce forces against the environment; and we evolved unknown parameters to match the worm’s forward locomotion speed.

    1/ Excited to announce that our new paper in the Special Issue of Phil Trans B is now available online: , alongside other great contributions resulting from the ‘Connectome to behaviour: modelling C. elegans at cellular resolution’ meeting.

    When I say I don't mind the summer heat.. The place/time where I grew up (Maracaibo, 1979) would get over 32 degrees Celsius (90 degree Fahrenheit) 262 days out of the year. Today, that town sees 325 days of the year reach that temperature.

    I didn't think my "start-up" document for my grad students (the resources I wish *I* had when I started a PhD) would prove to be so popular, so I figured I would share them here. So, here's what I've compiled so far. 1/12

    Here is my rough breakdown of time spent in various academic activities for positions at a research intensive university. Being a professor -> being a professional writer and meeting supervisor. How much training are we providing for either? 1/n

    Academics, or anyone who has a long writing project, here is some gratis coaching. The ideal default pace is 5-5-5: 500 words OR 5 pages of editing, 5 days a week. Telling yourself that's not enough is essentially giving yourself permission to do nothing. 5-5-5 will get it done.

    Excited to announce our model of C. elegans forward locomotion that integrates head and ventral nerve cord circuitry and takes into consideration the directionality of stretch-receptor feedback.
