A study of California grasslands found that connectivity did not prevent species decline. In the face of climate change, wildfires, grazing, and introduced species, dispersal of species among sites has a limited potential to restore lost species. In PNAS: https://t.co/dveYpaLeBv

【世界で一番産卵数が少ない魚を発見！】という内容の論文が出版されました。タンガニイカに暮らす深海性シクリッドの一種の産卵数が最少『１卵』であることを報告しました。また、2ヶ月間稚魚を追跡したところ霊長類並みの高い生存率を誇る事が分かりました。 https://t.co/crsqECbbU0

Lovely summary on why #zebrafish make excellent models of human disease! Featuring @CrumpLab 🐟
Did you know zebrafish share many of the same genes as humans? Gage Crump, PhD, Professor and Vice Chair of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at USC Stem Cell, explains how this tiny fish is helping advance human health research. @KECKSchool_USC

Well, here's a first for me: a former masters student of mine at Harvard wants to get her PhD, but b/c of funding cuts and resulting cuts in PhD slots in the U.S., she's applying to...Tsinghua University for her PhD. Wow
