Zebrafish
(to add to Brainbow page)
Zebrafish is a popular vertebrate model in which neurodevelopment can be easily studied because the embryos are transparent and develop externally.

Bleier advocated for civil rights with the Maryland Committee for Peace in the early 1950s; She also advocated for the end of the Korean War; this work lead to a subpoena from the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAAC), which was run by Senator Joseph McCarthy at the time period.

She then joined the University of Wisconsin-Madison department of Neurophysiology in 1967; at the same time Bleier was also working with Weisman Center of Mental Retardation and the Wisconsin Regional Primate Center.[1] Bleier is a known authority on the animal hypothalamus: she has published three works on the subject.
In the 1970s, Bleier began to see how the biological sciences were affected by sexism and other cultural biases, and thus devoted herself to the application of feminist analyses and viewpoint to the practices and theories of science.[2] She also began to focus on improving women's access and station in higher education.[2] Bleier argued against the idea of sociobiology as an explanation of conventional gender roles.[3] In her work she demonstrated how gender, sexuality, and science, rather than being static and judgment-free, are constantly changing in response to social values and ideas [4]
Sticking to her activist routes, Bleier became a founding member of the Association of Faculty Women at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The Association challenged the administration to reassess the status and salaries of female instructors campus-wide and to rectify inequalities.[4] The Association succeeded in equaling pay for men and women university workers, and also succeeded in integrating gymnasiums by having the women faculty have a group shower in the men's locker room.
