We have been funded by NIH to study leptin’s effects on bone in zebrafish.

Our paper on response of anemone fish to laser pointers attracted the interest of a salt-water aquarium YouTube channel. Check out the review

Rich had the privilege to travel to University of Gothenburg, Sweden as external examiner for a PhD defense. Marcus Johansson successfully defended his thesis, and Rich learned much from his conversations with Dr. Bjorn Thrandur Bjornsson, Dr. Michael Axelsson, and the many excellent scientists in their group.  Fantastic ideas, and humbling hospitality.  The picture is from the ‘fish church’-which is the local fish market.

Dr. Jared Talbot, of The Ohio State University, visited the lab in March 2015.  He generously gave his time and expertise to bring us up to speed on designing CRISPR experiments in zebrafish.  We look forward to working with him in the future.
