Peak cortisol is reached 15 minutes after acute stress in #zebrafish and the subsequent genomic effects occur even later, however, the HPI axis also modulates rapid nongenomic GC signaling.

@carolineleiwee I have been using the kit from Cisbio - HTRF® Cortisol Kit, 62CRTPEG. It's very simple and works well with adult whole-body samples and larvae grouped samples.

Is there any published work that claims to have measured/observed 'anhedonic' behavior in Zebrafish, specifically using that term? #Zebrafish #AskZebrafish

Good to have in-person conferences back, met some old friends and many new friends #EBBS2021

[Alex Cook @AlexDCook10]

Happy to be representing Zebrafish at #EBBS2021

Our review on early life stress in Zebrafish is out now. A very first review on this topic. https://t.co/TFEolLPD9w

This is really important. The gig economy is a sham, sold as freedom at the cost of rights.

Anti-immigration rhetoric often includes 'look after our own'. Yet the anti-immigration party voted against feeding their own hungry children. These people care about nobody. #FreeSchoolMeals

People who express their patriotism through reminding everyone that Britain was on the winning side of 2 world wars, are the loudest of those who can't fathom the idea of a stricter lockdown. #cowards #circuitbreaker

It's always been possible, remove the blinkers and see what cities without cars could be like.
