In episode 7, we are joined by Ernesto Gagarin, a Research Assistant in a zebrafish lab at Columbia University. He will be joining the University of Chicago in the fall to start his PhD! With another fish fan on the podcast this week, we wasted no time to start nerding out about fish keeping and how it has shaped our current paths in life. Having a closet and/or a bathroom full of fish tanks is clearly a key to future success in our respective fields in science. We eventually get ourselves onto the topic at hand (no pun intended), and discuss what a day in the lab looks like for Ernesto, and why zebrafish are a great model organism for studying joint regeneration. We hope you enjoy the episode!

This podcast is brought to you by the Chilean Sea Bass. This staple in the seafood market is known to grace many restaurant menus.  However this is only due to a renaming of its common name, the patagonian tooth fish.  It's living proof that sometimes all you need is a rebranding campaign.  Cheers to you, Chilean Sea Bass!
