Hey u, yes u, watch out for the science newbies. Remember how you started off, it probably involved someone looking out for u. I’m sure it did. Pay it forward. We are bleeding out too many young scientists.

New year and first fish on the system WVU Biology

At long last, my paper on motor asymmetry is out. Take a look at what we learned by finding "fish handedness" WVU Biology doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

i now know where to find funding

Congrats Eric Horstick on publication of his cool story about 'handedness' in #zebrafish with literally a twist at the end of the tale! Here's how we worked it out... rdcu.be/b2rT1

And sure enough normal looking mosaic eyes hets had only weak motor bias! Nice example of how heterozygous mutations can cause subtle behavioral phenotypes like 'handedness'.

fish room alarms in the middle of the night during a pandemic. But I saved the day (night) #winning #science #sciencelife #biology #zebrafish

guess that’s about that

Reviewers: if you are assigned a manuscript that is well written and data are clear, can we agree to say no changes needed? It seems many suggest unnecessary changes just to feel they are a good reviewer. This is damaging to students, postdocs and PIs 😡 Academic Chatter™

Here's some food for thought to get you through the weekend: What "ideas" 💡are hatching in the Eric Horstick lab? WVU Eberly College #science #lablife

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Despite a year and counting with many roadblocks, we submitted our first paper - individuality in zebrafish and factors modulating inter-individual differences. Congrats to the lab and our great collaborators. WVU Biology WVU Dept. of Neuroscience

First paper finally in press. We developed zebrafish as a model of individuality. Come see how molecular dose-dependency and the environment generate unique motor behavior across genetically similar individuals doi.org/10.3389/fnbeh.… WVU Biology Frontiers - Neuroscience #zebrafish

We are excited to share our new preprint. We found a visual critical period in larval zebrafish where brief asymmetric visual experience instructs neural and behavioral asymmetries WVU Biology WVUNeuroscience WVU Visual Sciences #zebrafish #Science biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Latest preprint. Using a cross species approach (6 in total) we find behavioral lateralization is conserved in evolution with distinct forms that have an overlapping neural basis - and more. Thanks to great collaborations Erik Duboué & Jeff Mumm biorxiv.org/content/10.110… WVU Biology

This week’s #FluorescenceFriday user is Eric Horstick! #HCRimaging enabled Eric Horstick to test for gene expression and neural activity changes in vivo. View his beautiful HCR RNA-FISH images of larval zebrafish below, and check out his lab horsticklab.org

Grad student spotlight: John Hageter is a PhD candidate in the Eric Horstick lab who uses zebrafish to study how environmental stimuli alter visual processing and behavior. Here, John can see how neurons (yellow) respond to stimuli in a whole-brain GCaMP!
