GPGG Student Spotlight: Thomas Featured in Boston Magazine

We’re excited to share that GPGG student Thomas Liontis, from the Grishok lab, was recently featured in Boston Magazine for his work with the Boston Worm community, a local group dedicated to fostering public appreciation for science through the study of C. elegans, a tiny but mighty model organism.

“This article is really what the C. elegans community is all about. While some of us are goal-oriented and others curiosity-driven, almost every new discovery or tool development in cell biology, physiology, or generally in science has exponential ramifications in our future,” Thomas comments on the article, underscoring his passion for science and the importance of public engagement.
