Tessa Blanchard @tblanchard.bsky.social · 01/10/2025Excited to share another paper from work I did during my PhD with @trishschulte.bsky.social and @madisonearhart.bsky.social. We looked at how fish embryos respond differently to constant and fluctuating temperatures! 🐟 055

Reposted by Tessa BlanchardMadison Earhart, PhD @madisonearhart.bsky.social · 24/02/2025these REUs are so crucial for undergraduates to get to do science, for their careers, and for all of us because undergraduates are our future and we need to support and nurture their brilliance ~ this is heartbreaking 💔 🧪👩🏻🔬🌎 11911
Tessa Blanchard @tblanchard.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Another paper from my PhD where we looked at the short and long term effects of raising embryos at two different temperatures 🐟 Interestingly hypoxia tolerance but not thermal tolerance was shown to be altered in juveniles. 0105
Reposted by Tessa BlanchardMadison Earhart, PhD @madisonearhart.bsky.social · 19/02/2025How do early developmental conditions affect stressor resilience in fish later in life? We investigated this in a new paper lead by @tblanchard.bsky.social! 🧪👩🏻🔬🌎🌐🦑 We found that in killifish, sub-optimal developmental temps had lasting negative impacts on hypoxia tolerance later in life 👇🏼doi.orgExposure to sub-optimal temperature during early development decreases hypoxia tolerance in juvenile Fundulus heteroclitusSummary: Exposing Fundulus heteroclitus to a sub-optimal temperature during development reduces hypoxia tolerance but increases hif1α expression in juvenile fish and has no effect on thermal tolerance... 2165

Tessa Blanchard @tblanchard.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Survived my first ever term as a Lecturer, even though I still have lots to learn, my students are what made the class so enjoyable to teach. My biggest takeaway from teaching is to show students you care, and to that I look forward to what next semester brings. 230
