Pardon us, Bluesky! We didn't really introduce ourselves during this latest barrage. ZR! covers highlights of all things #zebrafish and other cool teleost species. We act as a resource hub for questions and queries from the community while celebrating all those that are part of it! #RockOn 🧪 #SciSky
Did you know about our Slack Pro tankspace?
After a slow start to the New Year, the Zebrafish Rock! Slack tankspace is back over 550 active monthly users! It continues to be a friendly and helpful forum for the #zebrafish community. If you are keen to join, sign up using the Google Form on the ZR! website: linktr.ee/zebrafishrock 🐟
