Animal physiology postdoc @NTNU interested in 🐟 and global change. Passionate about science and education, also Dutch and 🏳️‍🌈 (she/her).
The app, user instructions, and scripts are on Github: github.com/HenHus/Husmo.... A big thank-you to the entire team, brilliant computer science student Henning Kristiansen, Moa Metz, Lorena Silva-Garay @lorenasilvag.bsky.social, and Fredrik Jutfelt @jutfelt.bsky.social 🙏

Tired of manually landmarking hundreds of images? 📍🖼️😩 Our lab developed HusMorph, a free and open-source tool that automates morphometric landmarking using #MachineLearning — no coding required. Simply train the model on your images, and it quickly places landmarks with human-level accuracy. #AI

Meanwhile, skin exposures to cold or warm temperatures did not seem to trigger acclimation. Specifically, we briefly and repeatedly dipped fish in a cold or warm water bath 🛁, and there were no clear signs of an acclimation response afterwards.

We found that circulating hormones likely control the process of adjusting the metabolism to the cold ☝ We showed this by collecting plasma from cold acclimated donors, injecting it into recipients reared at a regular temperature 💉, whose metabolism then appeared to become cold acclimated 🤯

New research paper out about how fishes acclimate to different water temperatures! 🐟 It's in @conphysjournal.bsky.social and OA! 🔓 doi.org/10.1093/conp... We looked at the role of blood plasma factors and skin temperature sensation in this study 🩸 ♨️ Recap in the threat below for those interested 😊

Why not more zebrafish content? 🎞️🥰 Below are a couple of cute juveniles from an ongoing experiment munching on artemia 🦐🍽️

Here's some photos of the wonderful zebrafish and people that I'm currently working with at the @jutfelt.bsky.social lab in Trondheim! 🐠 🙏

Hi Bluesky community! 👋 I'm Robin and new here. I'm a scientist who studies mostly fish, and based on scholargoggler.com I'm especially a fan of sablefish 🐟 But these days I also do a lot of research with zebrafish! 🦓 I'm fascinated with how the environment shapes their physiology and evolution.
