Our #SpotlightZebrafish this week is on Emily Read (@emilyreadd), a PhD student with @RobertHindges @KingsCollegeLon. Her research is focused on genetically modeling schizophrenia in #zebrafish. Emily utilizes various behavioral assays to assess phenotypes of mutant larvae. She developed a novel locomotion-based prepulse inhibition assay that assesses a larva’s ability to gate sensory information from the environment. To learn more about this assay and it’s application, check out her recent publication here: micropublication.org/journal….

. @CaitlinHouseago presenting her poster on her @NC3Rs funded PhD project to establish an assessment pipeline in #zebrafish to screen risk genes for major depressive disorder. Great to see such engagement in her first conference as PhD student.

Our new paper ist out. We established a new assay to assess PPI in #zebrafish larvae simply through locomotion. Very helpful for our work to characterise models of neurodev disorders. Congrats to @emilyreadd Great start into her 2nd PhD year @MRC_CNDD @dev_neuro @KingsIoPPN

Last year my friend Nicole was murdered in a park, by a stranger, and the police officers took selfies next to her body so pls can we defund the police and let women live.

I need all these Oxford colleges to realise that celebrating how many years its been since they decided to let women in isn't the flex they think it is
