David Scholnick of Pacific University has a profound interest in how shrimp act when they get an infection. He gauges how they act by by building a tiny treadmill in order to run crustaceans through their paces to measure blood lactate levels.
I have this picture in my head of several shrimp lined up on treadmills with little towels behind their necks. LOL
Scholnick told livescience.com last October “As far as I know, this is the first time that shrimp have been exercised on a treadmill.” To increase the shrimps’ stress, Scholnick designed tiny backpacks out of duct tape but still found that healthy shrimp could go for about an hour without fatigue.
OMG I wish I had a photo of that. Can someone make me a cartoon of shrimp on a treadmill with little backpacks on their backs?
Pigs may not be able to fly just yet, but they have moved up another step on the evolutionary scale. At least three pigs on this planet can glow from the inside out.
Researchers in Taiwan have bred pigs with a fluorescent material created by jelly fish. The pig embryos were injected with a fluorescent green protien taken from jelly fish. The scientists hope that these glowing pigs will help their stem cell research effort. Researchers hope that the glowing pigs will help them monitor tissue changes over time as the cells would show up during stem cell treatments of diseased organs, aiding physicians in monitoring the healing process.
The pigs are fluorescent green inside and out. Their heart and internal organs glow. When observing one of these pigs they glow with a light green tint, particularly their eyes, snout and hooves.
If the glowing pigs don’t work out for research I can think of another use for them. Horror Movies! Can you imagine a scary scene with a flash of glowing eyes and snout? These pigs could be the first fluorescent movie stars.
