Apply to this course!!! The deadline is soon, but if you are considering using zebrafish for the first time in your career, this is an incredible opportunity. I took this in 2013, and it changed my career - and started several friendships and scientific relationships that persist to today!

Still time to apply for the two exciting positions quoted below! If you are keen on #zebrafish models, this could be for you 😎

And a third position for a PhD/Research Associate with
@ferencmueller.bsky.social is still accepting application for another week. Details: shorturl.at/O9eKd

DEADLINE APPROACHING!

Apply to Zebrafish Development and Genetics by March 2. This two-week course is designed advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and independent investigators.

Financial aid is available.

Hi Shaun, I wanted to follow up & see if it was okay for us to post this position on the ZHA website under Job Announcements. Thanks! - Amber

Thanks for sharing! 💙🐟

Hey ZHA members, we're proposing an amendment to Section VI of the Association Bylaws. The Vote in 2025 fell short of the required one third of the membership, which necessitates this repeated Vote.

Have you ever seen a Wild Type axolotl?

Ambystoma mexicanum is the natural, dark-colored version of the salamander, usually in shades of brown, green or black with spots. The dark color camouflages them in the muddy, shallow lakes of Mexico, to hide from predators. 🧪

Four people who are members or on the board of the Zebrafish Husbandry Association, standing in front of the signage for their panel at the AALAS National Meeting. The panel was entitled "Danio Zoom Live: in 3-D"

This week, Amber and Christine attended #AALAS2025, the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science National Meeting. We were there supporting @zebrafishhusbandry.bsky.social, both taking part in multiple seminars and panels, as well as volunteering at the information booth for ZHA.

A zebrafish is held in a hand net and swabbed.

We are supporting in-person training workshops to promote the use of skin swabbing as a refined approach for genotyping zebrafish.
