Boarding my flight with #UnitedAirlines on a Saturday night, and right at 9pm, #PianoMan plays on the speaker! Love that!

So excited and grateful to receive R24 NOA from NIH ORIP to create an integrated #zebrafish omics, histology and microCT 3D atlas!

Looking forward to an exciting work with Dr. Postlethwait of U of Oregon, who is the co-PI of the grant.

Welsh climate impact story: my mum's local Co-op store in Cardiff has been unable to stock perishable food and dairy for over a week because its chill cabinets are powered by a gas generator. The gas tanks that power the generator are overheating thanks to a heatwave affecting the UK.

Surely, biosafety officer loves this! What better way to drink coffee in the office?

If you love Daniocell, but wish it could generate analyses specific to YOUR genes & cell types of interest, check out DaniocellDesktop - a new point-and-click app for Mac and Windows that enables reanalysis of the Daniocell data without programming: daniocell.nichd.nih.gov/desktop/ (1/4)

Working on #Zebrafish atlas next!

This is the first daphnia microanatomical atlas to include male and female daphnia, and we hope this atlas will be a great resource for researchers.

MeeSiing Ngu led the work; together with Keith Cheng at Penn State University, Luisa Orsini and John Colbourne at the University of Birmingham, and Dr. Beaton at Mount Allison University, Canada, we curated an open-access atlas for the daphnia community.

I am excited to share our latest work on the #Daphnia atlas (daphnia.io). We curated an open-access atlas for the daphnia community.

We are trialing a central hub for questions/queries for the #zebrafish community as they tend to get lost in our feed. (Really wanted to try this on Twitter) These will be reposted by us. Check there if you want to help. Amplifications appreciated 🙏

Query from Slack: Does anyone know a reliable script/method to match piRNAs with TEs? (e.g. They would be interested to find piRNAs that target a particular TE) #AskZebrafish

We routinely use PTA in my lab. We stained Daphnia, Zebrafish, mouse, Xenapus, axolotl without much issue. Occasionally need to optimize for duration and concentration. Fly has been the hardest to stained. We tried pricking the fly abdomen, but also requires long staining duration.

Yes, the uptake is too long. The cuticles makes it hard to stain the fly. And also hard to get an even staining throughout the whole fly.

Have you try to stain the fly with other metal stains such as PTA or PMA?
