C. elegans for the Expectant Mother

Model Organism: Worms Scientific Discussion
1

Hi All,

I apologize this is not strictly a scientific question, but hopefully some others may find this info useful too - a grad student in our lab is due in 2 months and we are throwing her a baby shower. Does anyone know of any online sources that sell cute C. elegans baby clothes, worm toys/decorations appropriate for infants, etc.? A quick google search did not turn up anything too exciting, so I thought I’d ask here.

Thank you.

Hi Beata,

These might be what you turned up, since they may not be ‘cute’, but just in case here’s what I found:

The C. elegans gift shop has a few baby onesies (aka bodysuits) that may fit the bill.

There’s also this but since it has hard eyes it could be a decoration but not a toy until the baby is older.

Happy shopping!

Steve
