Fish of the month (March): butterfly cichlid(Mikrogeophagus altispinosus) in a good mood.

In ophthalmology, clinician scientists may be unaware of the many possibilities provided by zebrafish models. On the other hand zebrafish researchers may be unexposed to pressing clinical research questions. The aim of the meeting is to bring researchers using the zebrafish model closer to the medical community. At the same time, the meeting shall introduce the virtues of the zebrafish model to clinical researchers. Keynote lectures will cover various aspects of zebrafish eye research. This will be complemented by presentations addressing research on human eye diseases with high clinicial relevance. In addition, short talks and poster presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts of meeting participants http://www.eufishbiomed.kit.edu/300.php

Zebrafish as Model in Biomedical Research: Focus on Gene, Brain and Behaviour Nijmegen, 13th-17th August 2018 http://www.ru.nl/radboudsummerschool/courses/2018/zebrafish-models-biomedical-research/

The Zebrafish Neuroethology satellite is organised within the framework of the 2018 International congress of the international society of neuroethology, Brisbane, Australia (http://www.icn2018.com/). This satellite will take place at the Customs House, Brisbane on the 14th of July 2018. It will gather top world researchers working in the field of zebrafish neuronal circuit dynamics and behaviour.

The Fondazione Guido Bernardini (FGB) and Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) are proud to present the international workshop on fish pathology. The workshop is primarily addressed to veterinary and medical pathologists, PhDs and laboratory animal veterinarians. Scientists aiming to obtain a broader and deeper knowledge on fish pathology will benefit from the workshop. The programme will cover fish diseases (viral, bacterial and parasitic) and toxicologic pathology of selected tissues. The participants will be able to present and discuss cases with renewed fish pathologists from leading research institutions. Gross pathology and histopathology sessions dedicated to veterinarians preparing for the ECLAM and ECVP boards will be included. http://www.eufishbiomed.kit.edu/downloads/PathologyProgramme.pdf
