A new article was published in Chemico-Biological Interaction by the Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering research group of Tallinn University of Technology. This study sheds light on applications of existing competence on designing biodegradable molecules in an innovative way – to develop novel antidotes against organophosphate poisoning. Acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) is an enzyme involved in the proper functioning of the nervous system. It catalyses the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acet

I learned to conduct reef fish surveys in the Gulf of Mexico and participated in research on red and goliath groupers. My thesis research was focused on hogfish life history and habitat use using stable isotope analysis of their eye lenses. I’ve always had a passion for science itself, but I missed the fisheries world, so I threw my name into the hat for this position.

Killer whales are some of the most cosmopolitan creatures on the planet. They patrol the frigid waters near both poles and periodically pop up in the tropics, in locations from western Africa to Hawaii. Scientists have drawn upon decades of research to suggest that two killer whale populations often observed off the Pacific Coast of the United States and Canada are actually so different from each other — and from other orcas.
