PhD student @HKU_Science & @SWIMSHKU _ Fascinated by the molecular mechanisms behind behavioural changes, the brain and human impacts on the marine ecosystem 🐠







The different #brainregions shows different responses to #climatechange Both, the cleaner wrasse and the client fish (Acanthurus sp.) alter their #thyroid hormone response in any #future condition. but also, the signals are quite different between #warming and #acidification.


Labroides dimidiatus now has a reference genome! It's chromosome-scale for you to use in future studies. Would you expect that this fish, with all it's amazing behaviours would have expanded its genome? Well, no! In fact it became more specialised. link.springer.com/article/10.118…



Global warming affects fish behaviour. @celiaschunter team @SWIMSHKU are looking at how the behaviour of cleaner wrasses changes with rising sea temperatures - wrasses initiate less cleaning of other fish which may have knock-on effects on the health of coral ecosystems.

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9




Practitioners in the field of single-cell omics are faced with many options for analytical tools to process and integrate data from molecular modalities. An article in @NatureRevGenet provides guidance on robust single-cell data analysis. 🔒 go.nature.com/3oCvkKa
