The experiment was a 4 month acclimation to a range of temperatures, and showed that aerobic scope increased up to 18C while growth declined above 12C. We concluded that oxygen transport was not limiting growth at high temperatures, contradicting a central OCLTT prediction.

12 years ago we ran an experiment on halibut that resulted in a great paper journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/21… We donated left over halibut to some public aquaria. Today I visited Havets Hus in Lysekil where one survivor remains (they are surprisingly jumpy). My baby is huge now!

So flying was already hell before the pandemic & now ever since the pandemic it’s just torture? I’ve been on 4 round trip flights since 2021 and 3 of the 4 trips have had one leg of the trip cancelled. Spent last night in the Philly airport and 0/10 would not recommend

Things I love: becoming spontaneously allergic to your watch band. *sigh* Luckily Amazon read my mind and there’s a lightning deal on a totally different style and material, and they should be here Friday. It’s OK, wrist skin. You don’t have to evict yourself from my arm.

@belostomatid Hopefully it’s a very silly bug and then you can win an Ignobel as well.

@AmandaEBates If I’m an administrator one day I’m going to at least give out stickers. ‘Meets expectations’ with a holographic dinosaur sticker is like 1000x better than just ‘meets expectations’ 🦖

I just got my UVic assessment for my scholarly performance. My overall assessment is that I "MEET EXPECTATIONS". Do I laugh or cry?
