Many moons ago I asked @emiliapsantos if she could help me study evo-devo of neural crest using African cichlids for my PhD… and the main results are now published in @MolBioEvol 🎉 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msae2… Thank you @gregverne for joining this chapter of my fishy adventure 🐠

Biology's Dawei Han and Catherine Carr discovered an auditory "sixth sense" in geckos that could have implications for human hearing and balance disorders. Using a part of the brain usually associated with balance, geckos can detect faint vibrations. go.umd.edu/geckos

🐠🧠 When a fish changes sex, what changes in the brain? Our new preprint goes deep on sex differences in the clownfish forebrain. Findings across diverse cell types & gene expression. What do you think? Tear it up! biorxiv: doi.org/10.1101/2024.01.29.5… #neuroscience #fishsci

Very happy that my first contribution to the cichlid community is out🐠🐟🐠. This review was the outcome of the Genome editing workshop at @Cichlid2022. We hope it will be useful for the community! Check @_Bethan_Clark's thread for details.

Excited to say our review of genome editing in cichlid fishes, focusing on CRISPR/Cas9 tech, is now published in @RSocPublishing #OpenBiology! Link here: royalsocietypublishing.org/d… Some highlights in🧵
