In a major breakthrough, scientists have waded into the realm of the fantastical by accomplishing the difficult task of Inception. Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center have been working on understanding how memories are encoded in the brain, specifically using Zebra finches to understand memories that guide the development of speech and social skills.
While you're here, how about this:
Book review: “Shark Research: Emerging Technologies and Applications for the Field and
I can’t imagine a more useful introductory reference guide for new or prospective graduate students starting their career in marine biology than “Shark Research: Emerging Technologies and Applications for the Field And Laboratory”. This book is designed for people who have little to no familiarity with a research discipline but are about to start working in that discipline, a large and important audience that is often ignored by books and review papers geared towards people who are already experts
The book consists of 19 chapters, each focusing on a different research method commonly used by shark and ray researchers and each written by a team of experts from that discipline!

Topics include tried-and-true research methods like ageing sharks, tracking sharks with telemetry tags, and population genetics, as well as new and emerging methods like drones and environmental DNA. There are even chapters on citizen science and social science--
Five Questions with Irene Kingma | Southern Fried Science
I previously wrote about some of the goals of the expedition, and our first day out on the water tagging small Caribbean reef and silky sharks. I also interviewed several of the expedition participants on their views on sharks and shark conservation!

The following are critical to establishing a responsible user community: Ensuring all potential microROV users 1) not only understand the laws and regulations for wildlife viewing that apply to the jurisdiction in which they are operating, but understand why those regulations are in place; and, most importantly, 2) have internalized a stewardship ethic that motivates them to respect the rationale behind those regulations even when operating in regions where those regulations are not enforced. This is most effective when it occurs at point-of-sale or registration of the microROV. Thus, while the additional four guidelines relate to the user, this first one relates to the manufacturer. To most effectively convey the potential harm that microROVs could pose to marine mammals, the manufacturers are best positioned to educate their user base by providing informational material with each microROV sale.
