Hi- I'm Eureka. I am an Axolotl- or Mexican walking fish. Some say evolution really screwed up with me but thats what makes me cool- and the fact that I live in a Lab. Get a tanks-eye-view of Proteomic Research.

I had this really strange dream last night.....
I was swimming, tiny and see-through...and missing some phalanges on my right side.... and there was the spikey haired guy....Also I seemed to be confused about my gender....

three pellets at once...
Check this out- my mandibular growth this month has been so impressive I can eat 3 pellets at once:)
and out of interest they've been doing some work on my kind to characterise the evolution of and development of the jaw- apparently Axolotls are a good model for anamniotic organisms (growth without an amnion- or the big sacky thing that you have around you whilst you're growing inside your mother...)
