Killifish 2 Brodhead

Caption

African killifish like the one pictured typically live just a few months, which helps research study them across their entire lifespans. Claire Bedbrook and Ravi Nath tracked dozens of killifish across their lifespans and found that they age in steps—and that their behavior in midlife can predict how much longer they have live.
