A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Allow us to be more transparent for you.

I imagine this creature would probably be almost entirely invisible under water and look like just a pair of eyes and a spine.

What if there are bigger fish?

How do critters like this even sustain their bodies? Are their blood and nervous systems transparent too?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

Their nervous system isn't. You can see it in the photo.

That’s cute. Now throw it back. Thanks.

Where the poop chute?

I'm assuming it's a 2-way digestive tract

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

No, fish have digestive tracts that go all the way through. Changing that would be way harder than keeping it mostly empty or full of water to make it clear.

Zebrafish are good for experiments because you can test phenotypes with a microscope without killing it.
