The tuna keel is a mechanosensory structure
Tunas are high-performance pelagic fishes of considerable economic importance and with a suite of biological adaptations for high-speed locomotion. In contrast to our understanding of tuna body and muscle function, sensory systems of tuna are poorly understood. Here we present the discovery of a remarkable sensory lateral line canal within the bilateral tuna keels with tubules that extend to the upper and lower keel surfaces. Neuromast mechanoreceptor organs are found periodically along the canal lumen, enclosed within tubular ossifications that we interpret as modified lateral line scales.

A somber announcement - today the US Fish and Wildlife Services is proposing to list the monarch butterfly as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. It may become the 100th insect to be listed. Populations of millions of monarchs have declined 80-95% recently. #虫

I was taught in grad school that scientists should have 3 versions of talks about their work ready: a 30 second “elevator pitch,” a 12 minute conference length talk, and a 40 minute seminar length talk.
I think we should also have a short version aimed at non-scientists.
