My student researchers carved this beauty of a zebrafish-themed pumpkin, complete with hidden “molecular biology” joke/message. Do you get it? There were power tools involved. It got messy. (I’m so proud!)

Dear all, PLEASE add comments on the importance of model organism research at this link:

Please comment on this! The complexity of living systems cannot be fully recapitulated by in vitro or computational approaches alone. While advances in non-animal model technologies offer complementary tools, they lack the full physiological and developmental context of a living organism.
