Over the past weeks I have been reading the earliest papers on zebrafish development, and came to realize that in the “canonized" version of zebrafish history we neglect some important people pre-Streisinger. I will try to correct here the record. Let’s start with Edward C. Roosen-Runge. (1/7)

We need just one more supplementary figure.
Wow this is a seriously serious supplementary figure from @cellpress.bsky.social today. Panels A through UU.
I get that Cell likes to minimize the number of supplementary figures. But is this really what is happening here?

Today we celebrate the birthday of not one, but two amazing women in science! 🤗🎉Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867), who discovered #radium & #polonium & pioneered #radioactivity, & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance uncovered the physics behind #nuclearfission. Happy birthday, trailblazers! ✨

We developed a new method called MCC ultra, which allows 3D chromatin structure to be visualised with a 1 base pair pixel size.

Grateful to 🇵🇱 @ncn.gov.pl , 🇩🇪 @maxplanck.de , and 🇨🇿 MEYS for putting together the first Dioscuri Symposium in Krakow. Loved the open discussion panel — honest, insightful, and human. (And yes, the writing workshop was fantastic as well 😉).

The first international workshop that focused on #zebrafish was convened in 1990 in Eugene, Oregon. Sponsored by NIH and NSF, the gathering of ∼40 scientists sought to evaluate the research potential of the tiny fish. Today, nearly 1,800+ zebrafish labs exist worldwide. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪
