I will be giving a talk at this years #Landsmót in the @HorsesofIceland tent about my research projet concerning the genetivcs of performance in pace-race. Come listen to the exciting preliminary results at 12.45, friday 6th! #Icelandichorse #research

On the occasion of Landsmót, the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST), would like visitors to be aware of the risk of infection which comes with bringing used riding equipment… https://t.co/0NkFfTTK3r

Protein phosphorylation levels in the brain may drive the desire for sleep, a study published in Nature suggests. The research sheds light on the molecular basis of sleep need and highlights potential molecular targets for sleep-related therapeutics https://t.co/qHziT8y2LF

The last male northern white rhinoceros died in March, leaving two females as the sole survivors of their kind. But a genomic analysis shows that frozen rhino cells contain enough genetic diversity to help revive these great beasts #ResearchHighlight https://t.co/b8bKr4VOWl

Super interesting study. Although owner's trends should be taken into account as well...it's quite often that older people will overfeed their pets because they don't know any better. Just as it's common to see overweight owners with overweight pets. #obesity #health #pets https://t.co/55syCUOfGB

News & Views: Mutations introduced far from the active site of an enzyme can cause local unfolding that increases enzyme activity. This discovery, reported in Nature, suggests how organisms that live in the cold can speed up biochemical reactions https://t.co/S42TV64p2P

Explaining the many ways in which we are now profoundly altering Earth, the authors of 'The Human Planet' provide convincing evidence that we should indeed dub our new epoch the Anthropocene. https://t.co/wmVHiP0cSw
