Received the latest copy of the @ASFSalmon Atlantic Salmon Journal this morning, which featured our recent work on the effects of psychoactive pharmaceuticals on the migration success of Swedish salmon smolts!

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

Widely detected in global waterways, clobazam—a common drug used to treat anxiety—is altering the migration behavior of wild Atlantic salmon, according to a new Science study.

The findings underscore the far-reaching ecological consequences of pharmaceutical pollutants. https://t.co/BOmGAWEF8V

[Christie Wilcox @NerdyChristie]

Benzodiazepines can help us feel like the world is a little less scary. Seems like they do the same for salmon—which probably isn't good for the fish. That and more of the best from @ScienceMagazine and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: https://t.co/c1r5vJ6VQi

The world's fish are taking benzos.

It turns out that by drugging ourselves with these common anti-anxiety meds, we're inadvertently dosing wild animals as well.

Especially the ones that live in water.

Great to see this piece in @nytimes covering our new article in @ScienceMagazine on the impacts of pharmaceutical pollution on salmon migration

[Eleanor Moore @EllyRMoore]

Huge congratulations and so excited to see this out in the wild! Super grateful to have been part of such a massive collaboration! 🎉

[Jack Brand @JackAndrewBrand]

Super happy to see our new article on how pharmaceutical pollution can influence salmon migration out in @ScienceMagazine!

This was a huge effort by a great team of researchers over the last few years!

Over the moon to finally share our new study in @ScienceMagazine led by the amazing @JackAndrewBrand!

Pharmaceutical pollution at environmentally realistic levels alters behaviour and migration in Atlantic salmon, directly affecting survival

A big thank you from the #BobWongLab to the organisers of #AusEvol2024 @AustEvolSoc for a fantastic conference.

[Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) @BBM_Wong]

We had an extra early lab Christmas party this year and took the opportunity to also farewell the incredible @UpamaAich, who is making her way across the continent tomorrow to start her @ForrestResearch fellowship at @CEB_UWA. We miss you already Upama.🥹

Learning how to make nice fish pictures for ppt presentations. Thanks to @EllyRMoore and @ShihoOzeki for running the workshop. #BobWongLab

[Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) @BBM_Wong]

I am the luckiest academic in the whole wide world. Some of the many past and present students and postdocs all together at #ISBE2024 🥹

Congratulations to recipients: @jack_manera, @melhado_gabriel, @EllyRMoore, @ShihoOzeki and @rhi_eastment. 3/3

Practice makes perfect. @jack_manera and @EllyRMoore busy perfecting their guppy brain dissecting skills in the lead up to their upcoming research stint in 🇸🇪

#BobWongLab

[Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) @BBM_Wong]

Smiles all around. The recently collected guppies are settling very nicely into their new homes. @MonashBiol #BobWongLab

Gone fishing up north with @jack_manera, @EllyRMoore and @KNFergusson. @MonashBiol #BobWongLab

[Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) @BBM_Wong]

Warm welcome to newest lab member @EllyRMoore who starts her PhD today at @MonashBiol working on the cognitive impacts of neuroactive pollutants in fish. Elly will be cosupervised with @MichaelGBertram (@SLUwildresearch & @Zoology_SU).
