IMF Report on the significant economic return of investment in basic research.
"We find that basic scientific research affects more sectors, in more countries and for a longer time than applied research (commercially oriented R&D by firms)"

Check out our recently published protocol for primary culture of zebrafish neurons!👇
14 Sep 2023
Our protocol for performing primary culture of zebrafish neurons has been published.
It includes details on using transwell inserts, allowing for the isolation of neurites 😃 @CorinneHouart @HouartLab

We know there are differences between the left and right sides of the brain, known as brain asymmetry.
But it’s not yet clear how or why this comes about.
@stevewilsonfish and @ibianco3 from @ucl aim to find answers, with support from our Discovery Research Awards ⤵️

Good things come to those who wait they say....and boy did we wait (and do a couple of more experiments). But here it is in all it's beauty the Rocha et al.! It seems that the end does justify the means.
