Congrats to Katie, my PhD student 💫for publishing her fourth paper, which examined levels of retinoic acids and their metabolites in the marine environment of Hong Kong. We found higher levels during algal blooms. 🤢 To obtain a free copy of our paper:

Surprising 𝘝𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 is divided into left-handed and right-handed populations (or should we say left-sailed and right-sailed). This allows them to sail toward the wind directions more comfortably in different hemispheres. #jellyfish

Sexual cannibalism is behaviour in which an individual eats its mate during copulation. The production of eggs requires a consequent energy investment from the mother and to increase the production and survival of the offspring, the male(s) or its body provides rich nutrients.

Lab members @yfw393 & @CSarabian recently participated in a 'silkscreen printing' workshop from @HKUniversity Museum and Art Gallery. And they picked up the HK Wild Boar Project logo as an experimental image! After a couple of trials...👍

Congrats to Adela for publishing this work! 👏👏We found chemical toxicity to fish would be exacerbated at extremely low and high temperatures, especially at high one 🤒 Chemical exposure can also reduce the thermal tolerance of fish. A link to our paper:
