It's #MicroscopyMonday, so let's take a look into the 🔬 with this @NikonSmallWorld image of an adult transgenic zebrafish head. Blood vessels (blue), lymphatic vessels (yellow), and the skin and scales (magenta). 4x magnification Credit: Daniel Castranova and Brant Weinstein

“Chronic disease”? After we debunked MMR-autism links he went to thimerosal; when that fell he went to overwhelming the immune system; next alum; then infertility; out of desperation he made up chronic disease, even he doesn’t know what that is. It’s all fake pseudoscience.

Finally, in fish with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, ALO’s become highly infiltrated with leukemic cells. A big thanks to Kimble Fraser’s group for this!
