This is very sad! Richard’s work was a huge inspiration. His recordings from synaptically coupled cell pairs, together with Bob Wong and Roger Traub, taught us everything about local circuit function! A unique, unconventional person who cared deeply for science and his friends.

Congratulations to the IZFS 2024 Streisinger Award winner, Dr. Judith Eisen! The award recognizes foundational work that has opened possibilities within the zebrafish field! The award will be presented at the upcoming #IZFC2024 in August 17-21, 2024! izfs.org/news/congratul…

A few months after I started my first academic lab, I told my postdoc PI Wallace Marshall about how great it was he never did this kind of territorial nonsense. He said simply: “I’m not worried I’ll run out of ideas”

And that, my friends, is the dictionary definition of a mic drop

Always a great experience Monterey Bay Aquarium

Summary statements will be an overall impact paragraph (like now); there will be subheadings for Factors 1 - 3.

They will include clarifying reviewer comments under Factor 3 only if gaps related to the proposed research were identified.
