First person to Watch – E. Jennifer Jin, Seungmee Park and Xiaohui Lyu

First Person to Watch is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. E. Jennifer Jin, Seungmee Park and Xiaohui Lyu are researchers in the Neurobiology Section, Division of Biological Sciences, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA, and co-first authors on ‘Gap junctions: historical discoveries and new findings in the C. elegans nervous system’, published in BiO. E. Jennifer is a postdoc investigating C. elegans motor circuit plasticity to understand how transcriptional program and neural activity coordinate developmental neural circuit rewiring. Seungmee is a postdoc investigating regulation of morphological development and maintenance of C. elegans neurons, and Xiaohui is a PhD student working on understanding the regulatory mechanism of microtubule dynamics within the C. elegans neuron system.
