Who knew squirrels were such camera divas? 🎥 Thanks @LaraLewington for joining us in the hibernation lab! @faunabio is cracking the code on hibernation to transform human healthcare. Science just got a little nuttier! 🐿️🎬
Bit of an effort to get a selfie with a squirrel. Just imagine filming with them. Was out with @faunabio in Emeryville California, finding out what humans can learn from 🐿️ hibernation.
