New research from the Drerup lab uncovers how VapB, an ER-mitochondria contact site protein, regulates the birth and death of mitochondria in neurons. #Neuroscience #mitochondria #ALS #zebrafish https://t.co/z6U7woFMnI

How do sensory cells connect to neurons? New work from Kindt lab shows microtubules guide ribbon formation in zebrafish hair cells for proper hearing development! #zebrafish #haircells #synapses https://t.co/NamYpzmBI8 @eLife

Drerup lab's latest work: HOPS complex-mediated fusion is critical for initiating autophagosome transport out of the axon terminal/synaptic region #zebrafish #cellbiology https://t.co/7kSUBsylgF

@ZebrafishRock @LovelessRadio @SuGuo_brainsci If you don't need to discriminate between LE and lysosomes there is a LAMP2 antibody out there

@ZebrafishRock @LovelessRadio @SuGuo_brainsci The only way I know to label late endosomes is to express RFP-Rab7 😔

Hello #zebrafish people! Requesting retweets!
We have recently made an academic tree to preserve some of the history and scientific lineages of zebrafish researchers (https://t.co/AWoyNZVWRQ).

Hey fish friends in #cellbio2023! Fin-terested in a shoal time with the Drerup lab next week? #zebrafish

@actin_crazy Paid opportunity doesn't seem applicable for reviewers 😬😞

@Chlebowskmaddie The experience of making the SPLICS expression plasmid still haunts me

While #hearingloss is the 3rd contributor to YLD, there is still little knowledge on the course of hearing loss globally @JARO_News launches a Topical Collection to cover risk factors & consequences of hearing loss, & how rehabilitation can address these.

When you publish a scientific paper approximately how many people do you expect to read it carefully and in depth?

Only announced it during conferences, but I am super excited to start my lab in January 2023 in the excellent @UMDBiology, and as part of the @bbiumd. The lab will continue working on retinal development and visual processing in #zebrafish. Come join us! Hiring at all levels.
