Have you joined Bluesky after leaving SnapTok or whatever?

Are you wondering “where are all the shark scientists and conservation advocates?”

I got you! 🧪🌎🦑🐠🦈

'Here, we show that this reagent appears to be unreliable due to providing false-positive signals at the expected molecular weight of Bax in immunoblotting experiments and likewise provides false-positive signals in immunofluorescence-based detection of Bax expression'

Laura helped me a lot during my Msc please give love to her paper
Our PhD student Laura Ripe-Jaime, in collaboration with Dr. Catalina Arevalo's group on bacterial communities and communication, published key findings on quorum sensing in black band disease, an emerging threat to reef-building corals

Diferentes linajes de ballenas hibridaron en el pasado y hoy pueden detectarse esos flujos de ADN entre ellos (ya que hablamos de híbridos fértiles).

Recordemos que lo que hoy denominamos "especie" es sólo un fotograma dentro de la larguísima película de la #evolución biológica 😉

Repitamos todos:

- los ocelotes en Colombia no son exóticos, son nativos.

- los hipopótamos en Colombia no son nativos, son exóticos e invasores.

Exótico significa que está fuera de su área natural de distribución.

I have been updating the starter pack, it has grown from an original 27 to 40, so if you used this earlier, better fill up again.

DM me if I have missed you in my latest trawl.

So what about Hydractinia's immune system?

In 2019, our former student Alejandra Zarate-Potes characterized the potential immune molecules in Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus following an immune challenge, using a transcriptomic approach
