TL;DR Summary

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has included a zebrafish microscopy image created by researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in their "Life Magnified" stamp panel. The image, which merges 350 individual images, was taken to understand lymphatic vessel development in the brain. The research led to the groundbreaking discovery that zebrafish have lymphatic vessels inside their skull, which could revolutionize research on diseases in the human brain. The stamp aims to raise awareness and appreciation for basic science research.
