@ZebrafishRock Dr. Bela Anand-Apte got back to me and she's going to send it up from Cleveland! But thank you very much for your help!!

[Lance Doucette PhD @LanceDoucette]

Hello Zeeb-people, I'm looking for a transgenic line (within Canada) or a vector (outside of Canada) called l-fabp:DBP-EGFP. I was wondering if anyone could help a guy out with getting my hands on this? @ZebrafishRock #zebrafish Thanks in advance for any help!

[Lance Doucette PhD @LanceDoucette]

@iscotthsc @ZebrafishRock And thank you for your help, Dr. Scott!

[Lance Doucette PhD @LanceDoucette]

@iscotthsc @ZebrafishRock Yea I realize. Im hoping someone has a line within Canada but the Anand-Apte lab is gonna send up the vector anyways. So. Next time someone needs it in Canada I guess I'll have it hopefully?

@PaulWChrystal @NatureComms @NCLNoel @Ted_Allison Oh wow! This is fantastic! Well done to the author!

Our latest in Nature Comm https://t.co/Lval8Hcija describes a new pathomechanism for #retina dystrophy #RP.
Discovery was via CFAP20, the most conserved protein we've studied, 99%id human to #zebrafish.
It surprisingly 'bends' the dichotomy b/w motile and non-motile #ciliopathy

[Lance Doucette PhD @LanceDoucette]

@PaulWChrystal I think we all put a few of those in by the end 😂

[Lance Doucette PhD @LanceDoucette]

Super proud to have been a part of this study. We identify a new RP gene, CFAP20, and show it's role in primary and motile cilia in a confluence of cells, zebrafish, c. Elegans, and clinical data. Big props to @PaulWChrystal for the huge amount of blood and sweat he put into this

[Paul W Chrystal @PaulWChrystal]

Proud to finally announce the publication of our new research on retinitis pigmentosa in the journal @NatureComms! Thanks to everyone that worked so hard on this project. https://t.co/46WEgmOb1m

@Ted_Allison Good looking bunch!!

@EdanFoley You zebrafish people get the coolest images 🤣

@Gavin_Arno @GenomicsEngland @NEJM @Moorfields @UCLeye Congrats Gavin! You deserve your pint today for sure!

I always enjoy a bit of Haloween :D The cat looks happier than I had intended...but the real horror....the unset clock....

Was incredibly glad to be a part of this paper and discovery. The first gene ever described for otosclerosis, a form of heritable conductive hearing loss.

[Curtis French @CurtisRFrench]

Happy to collaborate with Dr. Terry-Lynn Young’s lab on this important discovery!

@MeyerLab I once had laminin 521 recommended. I see some people mentioning vitronectin, we were never able to get that to work, but we're stem newbies, so grain of salt and all that

[Lance Doucette PhD @LanceDoucette]

I regularly work with @FB_Canada as a scientific communicator and they released a podcast all about the genetics of eye disease which I was happy to be a part of. Enjoy!

@RodRussell99 right? YOU'RE OUTDATED TIMES, TAKE A BACK SEAT.

Why is it when I move anything around in Microsoft Word it says:
"Ah! i see your document is in 11 Calibri font. Surely, you want this part of the document in 12 Times New Roman!"

Bloody hell Word, get it together.

@styleseee @Neurofourier god dammit J-man......i love you haha

[Lance Doucette PhD @LanceDoucette]

@Neurofourier I'm pretty much of the opinion that all scientific publishing is predatory.

Who pays the access/subscription fees? We do.
Who produces the content for the journals? We do.
Who does the free peer review? We do.

They get us coming and going.
