3月11日,9.0级地震袭击了日本的东北部,摧毁了东北大学田村浩二的实验室和办公室,将书籍、显微镜和样本震在了地上。虽然像壁虎、爪蛙和斑马鱼这些研究人员经常用来研究器官发育的动物存活了下来,但这些实验动物也将面临死亡的危险,因为蓄水池会中断水的供应,之后就会变干。田村浩二说:“我非常担忧,在没有水的环境中动物能够存活多久。 On March 11, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit northeastern Japan and destroyed laboratories and offices at Hojo Tamura, Tohoku University, shaking books, microscopes and samples on the ground. Although animals such as geckos, clawed frogs and zebrafish, which are often used to study organ development, survived, these experimental animals are also at risk of dying as the reservoir interrupts the supply of water and then dries up . Koji Tamura said: ”I am very worried about how long animals can survive without water.
