Not to get your hopes up but we are posting again… This time we are asking questions from our Slack group using @askzebrafish.bsky.social. Follow, interact, share or answer to your heart’s content and help the fabulous #zebrafish community. You rock! 🧪

Have you heard of the Zebrafish Rock! Slack Pro tankspace? Sponsored by ZFIN, it acts as the premier source for questions and queries for the #zebrafish community and beyond! If you are keen to join, please fill out this Google form at our website: linktr.ee/zebrafishrock

De-lurking to promote this neat piece of #zebrafish memorabilia from Rosie Lavis! Now available in its 3rd-edition, this linocut is sure to impress (especially with blue embellishments, if you fancy). Give as a gift or reserve one for yourself. Get yours at www.thewildprintstudio.com/shop/p/zebra...

Start your week off with a double-dose of #DanioDigest! 🤩 Now available as a blog post on @the-node.bsky.social and as a Bluesky mega-thread (quoted post below) 💪 🔗 to the Node post: thenode.biologists.com/daniodigest-...

Extremely honored to receive this prize from @socdevbio.bsky.social, which recognizes not only my love for developmental biology, but the extremely online I am 🧪 (protect science, protect people, viva la dev bio!)

#DanioDigest (May 2025) Community News: Prof Caren Norden @nordenlab.bsky.social‬ appointed Darwin Professor of Animal Embryology at PDN at the University of Cambridge. Prof Elizabeth Chen @echenlab.bsky.social elected as President of @ascbiology.bsky.social‬ for 2027. (1/38)

May's #DanioDigest is now active on the Node! You'll find all the latest and greatest that the #zebrafish community has to offer 😎 Be sure to check it out! (Bluesky mega-thread to follow later, for those interested) @the-node.bsky.social 🔗 thenode.biologists.com/daniodigest-...

Published in @nature.com & cited over 5K times, Howe et al (2013) outlines the grueling efforts to sequence, assemble, & annotate the #zebrafish genome. In total, 26K protein-coding genes were found with more than 70% of them orthologous to human genes. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/natu... 🧪

Any leads would be appreciated 🙏

New work from Carney Lab at Nanyang Technological University 🇸🇬 🐟

“We suggest that zebrafish phototaxis is regulated via parallel processing streams, which could be a universal implementation to change strategies depending on developmental stage, context, or internal state, making behavior flexible and goal-oriented.” New work from @zwitscherarmin.bsky.social 🐟

A working zebrafish antibody, eh?

“The fish is a frog... is a chicken... is a mouse." In the 1980s, Kimmel defined a crucial stage at the onset of gastrulation when the prospective organization of the entire embryonic body plan emerged. It placed #zebrafish in the context of vertebrate developmental biology. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪
