Warm welcome to newest lab member Eleanor Moore who starts her PhD today at School of Biological Sciences, Monash working on the cognitive impacts of neuroactive pollutants in fish. Elly will be cosupervised with Michael Bertram (SLU Wild Research & Department of Zoology). #BobWongLab

Smiles all around. The recently collected guppies are settling very nicely into their new homes. School of Biological Sciences, Monash #BobWongLab

Practice makes perfect. Jack Manera and Eleanor Moore busy perfecting their guppy brain dissecting skills in the lead up to their upcoming research stint in 🇸🇪 #BobWongLab

Congratulations to recipients: Jack Manera, Gabriel Melhado, Eleanor Moore, Shiho Ozeki and Rhiannon Eastment. 3/3

I am the luckiest academic in the whole wide world. Some of the many past and present students and postdocs all together at #ISBE2024 🥹

Learning how to make nice fish pictures for ppt presentations. Thanks to Eleanor Moore and Shiho Ozeki for running the workshop. #BobWongLab

We had an extra early lab Christmas party this year and took the opportunity to also farewell the incredible Upama Aich, who is making her way across the continent tomorrow to start her Forrest Foundation fellowship at @CEB_UWA. We miss you already Upama.🥹

A big thank you from the #BobWongLab to the organisers of #AusEvol2024 Australasian Evolution Society for a fantastic conference.

Over the moon to finally share our new study in Science Magazine led by the amazing Jack Brand! Pharmaceutical pollution at environmentally realistic levels alters behaviour and migration in Atlantic salmon, directly affecting survival 👉 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Huge congratulations and so excited to see this out in the wild! Super grateful to have been part of such a massive collaboration! 🎉

Great to see this piece in The New York Times covering our new article in Science Magazine on the impacts of pharmaceutical pollution on salmon migration 👉nytimes.com/2025/04/10/cli… 👉science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Jack Brand SLU Wild Research

The world's fish are taking benzos. It turns out that by drugging ourselves with these common anti-anxiety meds, we're inadvertently dosing wild animals as well. Especially the ones that live in water.

Benzodiazepines can help us feel like the world is a little less scary. Seems like they do the same for salmon—which probably isn't good for the fish. That and more of the best from Science Magazine and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: science.org/content/articl…

Widely detected in global waterways, clobazam—a common drug used to treat anxiety—is altering the migration behavior of wild Atlantic salmon, according to a new Science study. The findings underscore the far-reaching ecological consequences of pharmaceutical pollutants.
