Synopsis

University of Oregon emeritus biology professor Charles Kimmel receives a lifetime achievement award from the Oregon Academy of Science for his scientific work establishing zebrafish as a model animal for research. We talk with Kimmel about zebrafish and what we can learn from them about how embryos develop and how studying zebrafish genetics are helping researchers understand a whole range of human disorders, from cleft palates to melanoma to autism.
