"Zebrafish exposed to light pollution at night showed signs of anxiety, such as swimming less and staying close to aquarium walls. The next generation of zebrafish also showed anxiety-related behaviors, even without direct exposure to the light, suggesting lasting effects across generations."

#Introduction:

Hello #ScienceMastodon.

My name is Verena Kohler and I am a #FirstGen #scientist, currently working as independent senior #postdoc at #UniGraz in Austria.

I am interested, how age influences #proteostasis, the balance between protein production, folding and degradation, and how #ageing affects cellular #communication routes.
For that, I am using my favourite #ModelOrganism, the baker’s #yeast, a lot of #FluorescenceMicroscopy and #HighThroughput screens.

Let’s talk #science !
