In a few days I will begin taking care of "practice" C. elegans to learn how to create a stable environment for them to survive and prosper in. I will be practicing handling and feeding them. I am beyond excited! Pictures coming soon!

The hypothesis that is being tested is if C. elegans will build up amyloid beta (AB) plaques after heat stress exposure, possibly leading to Alzheimer's disease (AD). C. elegans (nematodes) demonstrate symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease such as amyloid plaques, genes and their mutations, and memory impairments. Heat-shock is a form of stress that could potentially increase the rate of AD, and during heat shock, transcription and translation proteins in C. elegans will become inhibited.
