Had our first LiverPal semi-annual retreat yesterday. Beautiful opportunity for reflection on the journey thus far. Forever thankful and grateful to work with this team. 6 months down, 40 patients randomized! #palliativehepatology

I'm working a new muscle this year - OpEd writing. Now in @medpagetoday on rising rates of alcohol-related cirrhosis and need for public awareness and policy change to save lives. Shout out to work of @NDP1001 @ebtapper @Wei_Zhang_Liver #livertwitter

And here’s some footage of our larval metabolism measurement process, using oxygen consumption as our metric!

now onto hatching the second cohort!

[Malia Armstrong @MaliaDoesBio]

After a quick twitter hiatus to focus on midterms- here’s a thesis update!
Since my last post, I have measured the growth rate and larval metabolism of my first cohort of fish, then released them into tanks! (they’re so little you probably can’t see that they’re there!)

Loved going out and learning large water body sampling methods on the RV Folger today for aquatic ecology!

In our latest research, we have investigated why exposure to a persistent environmental contaminant (PCB153) delays the escape behavior of #zebrafish larvae.
