Congratulations, Rashmi Priya @rashmi-priya.bsky.social! 🎉 Rashmi heads up our Organ Morphodynamics Lab and has received more than £2m from Wellcome to study how hearts develop, using zebrafish as a model 🐟 crick.ac.uk/news-and-repor…

Have you ever thought "Gosh darn these E8.5 epiblasts are too damn wonky, I simply can't analyse the patterning of genes in 3D"? Good news! In this pre-print we developed a pipeline to do this very thing. We also uncover how Notch local signalling promotes spotty patterns in NMPs

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!! I'm very grateful to have had my project COUNTS selected for funding European Research Council (ERC) #ERCStG, and excited to use this opportunity to study the evolution and evolvability of vertebral counts. Opportunities in the lab to follow. Get in touch!

Beyond grateful for this 🙏 wouldn’t have been possible without my lab that founded this idea and the EMBL community and colleagues / mentors around the world who helped me sharpen this vision. We will be hiring soon - get in touch! embl.org/groups/petrido…

🚨 Job alert in theory/devbio🚨 Funded by an ERC Starting Grant (woohoo!!), we are recruiting theory postdocs and PhD students to study how embryonic patterns self-organize. Please RT 😊 European Research Council (ERC) Theory of Living Matter Group the Node SMB - Society for Mathematical Biology Physics of Life Physics of Life Dresden 1/🧵

Interested in joining Gurdon Institute as a group leader? We are particularly looking for applicants with a focus on human developmental biology. Reach out if you have any questions. Deadline 15th Oct.

📢Exciting news! My PhD work, supervised by jGros Lab, has just been published in nature. Thanks to all the co-authors! 📄In this study, we (re)explored a longstanding question in developmental biology: why, when a chick embryo is cut in half during gastrulation, each half can

Painting by numbers: Flowers like hibiscus use an invisible blueprint early in petal formation that dictates the size of their bullseyes! Awesome work by Lucie Riglet & Edwige Moyroud's Team Hibiscus with modelling by Argyris Zardilis Read Science Advances paper science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our lab's first preprint!!! Could not be prouder 😀 fantastic work of master (yes Master!) student Jannik Rothkegel, liaising with our superb team Sylvia Kaufmann and Michaela Wilsch-Brauninger!

Naked Genetics: Shivani Shukla and Aylwyn Scally on whether personality is in your genes, and what really happened to the population on Rapa Nui. Plus, Camena Bioscience's James Richardson and Illumina's Ilaria Grizzi on synthetic DNA. thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/naked…

Jean-Léon Maître Many thanks Jean-Léon Maître – we really enjoyed working on this project which was a close collaboration between British Society for Developmental Biology , Development and Cambridge FilmWorks

This was such a great project to get involved in and I’m super-proud of the result! Please do check out this documentary on the wonder and value of #devbio, brought to you by British Society for Developmental Biology, Development and Cambridge FilmWorks

Now that we have polished it a bit, we are excited to share our new preprint with you "Local optogenetic NMYII activation within the zebrafish neural rod results in long range, asymmetric force propagation" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interested in how we are able to observe chick embryo development? 🐣 Our video here demonstrates the technique ‘windowing’ which we showed at this year’s Big Biology Day 🧬 🧪 #biology #embryo #BigBiologyDay #BBD

Yep…. Benjamin Steventon.bsky.social Don’t delay, and get going fast with the Developmental Biology started starter pack from @aineurolab.bsky.social
