Happy birthday Bron !!! The weather was good too..Port Adelaide leads the world in dolphins with a new dolphin sanctuary established in the Port river - protecting Port River dolphins around the Barker Inlet area of the river.

The Zebra Fish has two main talents - beautiful embryos and the ability to regrow new organs if they need them - even the heart !!!.

Peter is leading a study that uses the Zebra fish as a model for the study of muscular dystrophy in humans. It seems to be related to the production of stem cells - as fish are mostly muscle and they need to retain the ability to grow muscle as they age, while humans seem to lose that ability. Can Peter and his team find a way to let people do the same ?
