We just published a new paper: Hidden markers of health: how mercury affects gene expression in developing seabirds.

Even low levels of mercury can alter their development, highlighting the urgent need to protect marine ecosystems. 🌊🪶

Many congrats to @MiguelHGon for his first article of his PhD journey, a meta-analysis on endocrine-disrupting properties of mercury in birds

Really deserved!
