I’m extremely saddened to learn that my former PhD mentor, Eric Weinberg passed away past week. The guidance and opportunities he provided in his lab hooked me on fish research for life. This last picture of us was taken 4 years ago, when we met for a lunch in NYC. RIP Eric.

For last week’s Brain Awareness Week activities, my fantastic students designed a deck of “pokémon” cards with actions related to the lab’s work. Even more fabulously they designed one card for me.

🔥 Top post It is hard to foresee what’s in store for Hungarian science in the next years, but I think Albert-László Barabási’s editorial in Science highlights most of what we hope for: not just restoring what was lost, but rebuilding something better. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… ★ 6

But he remained affiliated with Wesleyan and also served as instructor for multiple MBL courses (including the one in 1939, where he was direc… So why do we credit Creaser with introducing zebrafish to the scientific literature? His landmark paper in 1934 is on handling zebrafish and generating eggs: things that became extremely important for later geneticists and embryologists. (…

What is even more remarkable, this might be also the paper with the first documented experiment on fin (albeit anal fin) regeneration (discussed in the context of pattern re-formation). See below at 13 and 16 dpi. (7/9) That’s not all: in 1931 Goodrich “revisited” zebrafish and described the emergence of the color pattern in more detail in another paper (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jmor.1050520207), which is still often quoted in paper… But the D. rerio x D. malabaricus cross is a mysterious one.

I could not find the original Schreitmüller descriptions, but as for the D. rerio x D. albolineatus, we can always rely on earlier work from @dparichy.bsky.social, where these patterns have been described in detail (https://link.springer.…
