The Senegal bichir is a living fossil, with evolutionary roots at the base of the bony fish family tree. It also can regrow entire fins, making it a good case study for understanding the origins of limb regeneration. sciencenews.org/article/regene…

It is great to see @lsu students and professors solving such Louisiana-specific challenges!Kudos to the team @LSU_BioSci for the great work and those like @KreweOfFreret for putting the innovation to early use!bit.ly/4qZ1DxD

Biodegradable Beads Are Helping Mardi Gras Go Green | TIME time.com/7379271/mardi-…

It’s Mardi Gras in New Orleans. This Year, the Party Might Be a Bit Greener. - ⁦@LSU⁩’s PlantMe Beads featured in The New York Times! 💚 #mardigras nytimes.com/2026/02/17/cli…

“This year, a team of researchers at Louisiana State University came up with a more sustainable alternative to the festive staple: 3D printed, biodegradable beads. And over 3,000 of them were thrown this Carnival.” @lsuscience @LSUResearch featured in @TIME
