Viral infections make you think fever. 🤒

Think again. This study shows these sick tadpoles cool down, instead of heating up, to fight infection.

Happy to share our most recent review on hydrosignaling and root development! I had a lot of fun co-writing this piece alongside the talented Will Dwyer. A big shout-out to @Dinnenylab for all the guidance and support. Thanks to the reviewers and lab members for their comments.

Usually when we think serotonin, we think about brains 🧠But this study in #BMCBiology shows how serotonin affects the bacteria, P. fluorescens.

Why is this important? Your gut! E.g. Celiac disease is a serotonin-rich environment
