I strongly encourage ECRs to apply for opportunities like the Travelling Fellowships from the ever supportive @biologists.bsky.social They are a fantastic for learning new skills, building collaborative networks, and honing scientific writing. doi.org/10.1242/dev....

⏰ Deadline in two weeks! ⏰ Work at the interface of biology + computation to build a virtual human embryo to predict developmental success and failure. Happy to answer questions!

🚨 Come join us @sheffielduni.bsky.social for a PhD on the evolution and development of feathers and flight! 🐣🔬 This project is supervised by @matt-towers.bsky.social & @alexgfletcher.bsky.social, and I'm excited to be involved as a project advisor. Please share! www.findaphd.com/phds/project... 🧪

🚨 PhD Projects 🚨 We are advertising two UKRI funded PhD projects at the @sheffielduni.bsky.social. #stemcells #development #embryology #reproductivephysiology #mathmaticalmodelling #quantitativebiology

🚨 New paper out in Development! 🚨 We show that donor embryonic stem cells (ESCs) reshape the developing mouse embryo, not just by what they signal, but where they push. 📄 doi.org/10.1242/dev.... [1/8]

1/10🧵 New preprint! 🚀 We built a resource of 20 clonal human naïve pluripotent stem cell lines from 10 blastocysts. Explore embryo-to-embryo and clone-to-clone variation in one place. 👉doi.org/10.1101/2025.06.02.657331

Today’s speaker in our DRN external seminar series is Dr Thorsten Boroviak (PDN, University of Cambridge) @pdncambridge.bsky.social , who will talk on early embryonic development in primates. Host: Anestis Tsakiridis @tsakiridis.bsky.social All welcome!

Thanks to Anne Wiblin and the team at abcam for the invitation to share and discuss my research today! #stemcells #development

It was fantastic to have @lbates.bsky.social visit last week! Thank you for sharing your exciting work!

Check out our new research in @royalsocietypublishing.org's Open Biology! We experimentally induce a transition from chemical to mechanical patterning in the chicken embryo 🐣🔬 @lanevol.bsky.social 🧪 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

TIL, I can get excited about a -80. #StrawbridgeLab #NewPI

Check out these feather buds on the chicken embryo's wing! Our latest study @plosbiology.org reveals that temporary inhibition of sonic hedgehog signalling transforms feathers into simple, protofeather-like structures—similar to those of their dinosaur ancestors🔬🦖🧪 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

A fantastic meeting of early career researchers in Vienna this week. It was great to see old friends and to meet new people. Thank you so much for the opportunity to present my work at SY-Stem 2025! @impvienna.bsky.social @imbavienna.bsky.social @maxperutzlabs.bsky.social

Thank you!!! @drn-sheffield.bsky.social and @sheffielduni.bsky.social has been and continues to be a welcoming and stimulating research environment!

A warm welcome to Stanley Strawbridge @stanleystrawbridge.bsky.social, who joins us as a #PhysicsOfLife & #QuantitativeBiology Fellow from @scicambridge.bsky.social. His work explores early human embryo form and function. #AdvancedImaging #AppliedMathematics #Bioengineering #stemcells #development

It was great to be back @cambridgeuni.bsky.social to give a talk @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social Developmental Biology Seminar Series, and to talk science with people from @scicambridge.bsky.social, @loke-ctr.bsky.social, and @mrclmb.bsky.social! Spring has sprung @christscollegecam.bsky.social!

Fully funded #PhD Studentship with myself and JJ Phillips at the Living Systems Institute, @uniofexeter.bsky.social "Control of chromatin remodeller activity to direct cell fate decisions" #Chromatin #Transcription #StemCells #StructuralBiology Please re-skeet! www.exeter.ac.uk/research/ins...

PhD positions available in the LSI www.exeter.ac.uk/research/ins... via the Wellcome Trust funded GW4 CAT PhD Programme for Health Professionals. Applications open now until 17.January 2025. @uniofexeter.bsky.social

See you there!

🚨 A PhD project to develop an in vitro human implantation platform is available with me and an interdisciplinary supervisory team at the University of Sheffield. #blastoids #endometrialAssembloids #stemCellBiology #embryology #biomaterials #advancedImaging #dataScience tinyurl.com/ycykmwv4
