Porichthys plectrodon - the Atlantic midshipman. These unusual fishes possess rows of bioluminescent organs called photophores and can produce sounds using specialized muscles attached to their swim bladder.

Dearest shoalmates: Please consider posting a comment to the NIH regarding the Strategic Plan that includes reducing funding for animal research. Responses from the research community are currently greatly underrepresented compared w/ advocacy groups opposing animal experimentation. ๐Ÿ”— below โฌ‡๏ธ 1/2

Happy #fluorescencefriday (and start of vacation!) to all those who are celebrating Lifeact-labeled epidermal stem cells closing a wound after in vivo adult zebrafish skin injury

Excited to have started my new lab in Human Genetics at Pitt Public Health! We study wound healing in diabetes & aging using adult zebrafish. Check out this movie showing neutrophil dynamics after injury. Now recruiting research staff, grad students, and postdocs. DM me if interested.

I am proud to have contributed to this project during the first part of my postbaccalaureate fellowship, and excited to spend the rest of my time in this lab further investigating this structure.

Exciting new #Zebrafish research from the #WeinsteinLab, led by Jong Park! โ€œSpecialized gas-exchange endothelium of the zebrafish gillโ€ โ€” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Amazing to see red blood cells moving through the gills! Donโ€™t forget to check out the supplemental movies ;-)

#KnowYourZDM: In 2019, a 10-year-old patient w/ a life-threatening lymphatic disorder was losing hope. Zebrafish to the rescue! Scientists created zebrafish with the same gene mutation and found a melanoma drug that fixed the fish. Then, doctors used the same drug on the patient to save his life! ๐Ÿงช
