I've apparently devoted my career to C. elegans and give them about a B. B+ on a good day.

I mean you can't go to SfN with a worm poster year after year, routinely getting stuck in "YYY: Robots, invertebrates, and history of neuroscience" on the last day and maintain some kind of sense of scientific superiority unless your delusional.

you're. argh.

Sometimes when I am telling someone I study worms, I'll say they are "surprisingly charismatic." But it's not true. They are exactly as charismatic as you'd expect.

What I really like is the C. elegans community. We could all switch to something else without IRB paperwork and I'd be fine.
