Great video of the lab and a bit of why science is important

Grad student spotlight: John Hageter is a PhD candidate in the @Horstick1 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!

Great story highlighting the recent collaborative NSF EPSCoR grant we are a part of and the exciting work we plan to do @wvutoday @WVUBiology @WVUEberly @EberlyResearch

[Eric Horstick @Horstick1]

@wvutoday Proud to be part of a large NSF grant to expand neuroscience infrastructure and capabilities across the mountain state @WVUBiology @EberlyResearch @WVUEberly #Zebrafish

This week’s #FluorescenceFriday user is Eric Horstick! #HCRimaging enabled @Horstick1 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 page for more info here: https://t.co/YnQuPmvnvy.

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 @eduboue & Jeff Mumm https://t.co/KHGyx1z4C7 @WVUBiology

[Eric Horstick @Horstick1]

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

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

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. @WVUBiology @NeuroscienceWVU

Here's some food for thought to get you through the weekend: What "ideas" 💡are hatching in the @Horstick1 lab? @WVUEberly #science #lablife

[Andy Truman PhD @TrumanLab]

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 😡 @AcademicChatter

guess that’s about that

@scekker i’ll never complain about running my fish facility under “normal” circumstances again

@GregMarquart he got away

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

[Harold Burgess @HBurgessLab]

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'.

[Harold Burgess @HBurgessLab]

Congrats @Horstick1 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...
