our follow up paper on innate immune responses to trypanosomes infection in #zebrafish is out! Without transparent #zebrafish we would have never been able to describe the occurrence of Foamy Macrophages in high-infected individuals. Have a look @eLife elifesciences.org/articles/6…
Our @eLife paper is out! Have you even seen how a trypanosome really swims in the blood and tissues of its vertebrate host? Have a look at our amazing high-speed videos! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.48388 @ZebrafishRock @WURanimal

I'm so excited to share my first author paper on lungfish feeding biomechanics! We found lungfish to have one of the slowest suction feeding behaviors compared to fishes and tetrapods. Check it out! @BiologyOpen #lungfish #TeamFish doi.org/10.1242/bio.059447
