Lick Your Rats →
ohyeahdevelopmentalbiology: Some mother rats spend a lot of time licking, grooming and nursing their pups. Others seem to ignore their pups. Highly nurtured rat pups tend to grow up to be calm adults, while rat pups who receive little nurturing tend to grow up to be anxious. It turns out that the difference between a calm and an anxious rat is not genetic - it’s epigenetic. The nurturing...

Caroline's (not so fancy) May Goals
There is a lot to get done this May. I am going to be working on few newish projects that aren’t sockeye salmon related. In lake trout I am looking at differential gene expression in muscle tissue and differential methylation of the C1Q gene between lean and siscowet ecotypes. The other new species that I am working on in lab is the hard clam. After some troubleshooting, Dave and I were able to...

A lot of this month is going to be spent at NOAA working on an ocean acidification experiment with oyster larvae.  The larvae arrive Monday and the experiment is projected to last 28 days.  We’re going to collect data...
