Researchers from Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC recently published a new study in PLOS ONE describing how two species of Antarctic fish - one with hemoglobin in its blood and one without - respond to warming water temperatures. Iskander Ismailov, the study's first author, lived at Antarctica's Palmer Station for three months.
