Nakamura and Copeland labs Rutgers SAS Life Sciences are hiring a full-time lab tech for zebrafish maintenance and embryology (nakamuralab.com). Great location for evo&devo research, nature exploring, and access to exciting cities. Pls RT, thanks! jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/142323

comrades! we still have zero applicants for the programmer position in our group-- please see our job posting here: careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/5284…

Funded PhD opportunity to study magic traits in cichlids with me and M. Emília Santos - please RT! #fishsci panorama-dtp.ac.uk/research/visua…

Extremely proud of myself for referring to the removal of luggage tags as “post-transportational modification”

Zebrafish tweeps, I’m looking for a construct that has the engrailed (en2a) promoter sequence. Does anyone have any they would be willing to share? DM for more info! Thanks! Zebrafish Rock!

Fun collaboration with Raisa Bailon, PhD🇪🇨 and old friends John Postlethwait Kryn Stankunas Amy Robbins and Thomas Desvignes Coordinated patterning of zebrafish caudal fin symmetry by a central and two peripheral organizers anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Really enjoyed being a part of the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance meeting at Knight Campus last week! So fun to share the awesome zebrafish fin regeneration work we are doing in the Kryn Stankunas with our community!

Our paper that examines the spatial-temporal expression of all 41 Zfish gap-junction genes, the connexins, is out in Genetics Society of America G3 journal. This scRNAseq dataset allows you to explore connexin expression in your favorite tissue through space & time. academic.oup.com/g3journal/arti…

Dr Chuck Kimmel has always been a larger-than-life #zebrafish scientist! Congratulations to Dr Kimmel and Dr. Len Zon being inducted into @NationalAcad #izfc2022

Slightly surreal to be presenting a poster at #SDB2022 tonight in Vancouver, my first in-person conference since the ~before times~. Excited to share a flashy project (surprising and dramatic fin loss mutants!) and actually talk with others about their amazing research!

The caudal fin of #teleost fishes has likely contributed to their evolutionary success by increasing maneuverability and thrust. Learn from Kryn Stankunas how caudal fin symmetry originates from a central organizer and sets of central and peripheral rays. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.4…

Congratulations to Beth Bearce (@Carcinoginger) for winning a talk prize at the 10th Aquatic Models of Human Disease conference (AQMHD). Beth spoke about Urotensin peptides and zebrafish spine morphology. Work was also recently preprinted: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest paper is out today in eLife - the journal. We show that Urotensin II-related peptides control the morphology of the zebrafish spine. This helps us understand cues underlying spine shape and may provide insight into spinal curvatures like #scoliosis. elifesciences.org/articles/83883

Congratulations to Mea O. Songco-Casey, a UO neuroscience graduate student, for winning The Science Coalition’s 2022 #FundItForward Student Video Challenge. Watch her video and learn about her NIH funded research on the octopus visual system. #UOresearch

Ironic how the theme of the work is timing and I am exhibiting poor mastery of that... Fabulous work by Nicola Blum to understand factors that shape coordinated growth of somatic clones, modeling human overgrowth syndromes in zebrafish. Opening up new areas for disease modeling!

Our lab is hiring! We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join our amazing team! Please RT! #zebrafish #regeneration #fin

Congrats Dr. Amy Robbins!!

And with that, Ph.DONE! So much gratitude to my village (and schools of fish) who helped me get here.

On #RareDiseaseDay2024, we highlight the work of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network, a collaborative research venture funded by NIH to bring together clinical and research experts, which use flies, worms, and #zebrafish to diagnose human genetic diseases.
