We’re deeply saddened to learn Frank Stahl has passed. With Matt Meselson, he helped prove how DNA replicates—what many call “the most beautiful experiment” in biology. We had the honor of capturing their story in this film: bit.ly/meselsonstah... RIP Frank. Thank you for your service to science.

AP Bio students determined why okapi at the local zoo are not breeding by analyzing their urine cortisol levels, examining their zoo enclosure, modeling the HPA-axis, & redesigned their zoo enclosure to reduce their stress & encourage breeding. Based on @BeccaCalisi research & a @scicommlab film.

AP Bio learned about parental care to discover mom & dad pigeons make milk by performing a mock brain biopsy & ELISA test for the presence of prolactin. Then modeled prolactin gene activation & learned of other lactating non-mammals. The 3rd case study I authored for Science Communication Lab! 🙂
