Opportunity to apply for a fully funded PhD with my colleague Dr Mervyn Thomas at the University of Leicester! The project will investigate normal and abnormal retinal development using a range of different techniques. https://t.co/AjtEkoOeC7

Interesting article about modelling autism in fish, worms and flies - many excellent labs are mentioned! https://t.co/5OGDL2kICR

Researchers are increasingly turning to simple animals to learn about autism biology and find leads for new drugs.

A question for the zebrafishers out there. Does any know roughly how much a fin clip weighs?

Skin swabbing is quicker, cheaper and safer than fin clipping because it does not require anaesthetic or scalpels to be used. It may also reduce the number of animals required for some experiments.

It causes less activation of stress markers – in particular we did not see any change in cortisol release following swabbing compared to clipping. In addition, the data collected following this technique is also less variable meaning that fewer animals need to be tested

Our lab has recently published an NC3Rs-funded study in Scientific Reports comparing skin swabbing and fin clipping: https://t.co/izoRDbhwQa We show that skin swabbing is a refined technique to collect DNA from zebrafish and sticklebacks compared to fin clipping.

A few months ago I asked a friend at work to knit me a Purkinje cell. The result is absolutely amazing! https://t.co/aYKDursurR

Great three-year postdoc opportunity available in coming months to work with Ger Clarke @UCCpsychiatry & myself here @Pharmabiotic in Cork on mechanisms underpining Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis signalling. Please RT
Interested in exploring the mechanisms and #microbialmetabolites underpinning brain-microbiome interactions? Then we have the dream postdoc position for you in #clarkelab #cryanlab @pharmabiotic @jfcryan DM for more info

Some good news for the lab during a strange year: our investigation into histamine signalling and zebrafish aggression has been published in Acta Physiologica!

Boris Johnson's unwillingness or inability to do the right thing has left the Government looking untrustworthy and unprincipled. Worst of all he's undermined the public health advice that keeps us all safe, just to keep one aide in his job. Our nation’s health must come first.

Sometimes work collides with pleasure! Look at this fish I recovered from a gurnards stomach! #practicaldissection
