So exciting to see this! If you're looking for an exciting new lab, see below!! Congratulations Joshi!! @joshifrenster.bsky.social So proud of you!

Sad to miss @bsdb.bsky.social meeting this year but the lab is represented by @jensbager.bsky.social. Check out his poster P74 tomorrow at 12:30!

SDB is sad to announce the passing of Gail R. Martin (1944-2026) after a short illness in San Francisco. Martin served as SDB President in 2007 and was the recipient the Conklin Medal in 2002 and the @FASEBorg Excellence in Science Award in 2011. bit.ly/4aIfu5d

Out today officially! Such a cool story and I feel very lucky to have been involved - congrats to @sumrubayin.bsky.social and @jensbager.bsky.social along with everyone else involved! Was fun to get back to my roots in cerebellar development for a bit 🧠 journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

The regenerative potential of adult Nestin+ cerebellar astroglia is limited compared to in neonates https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.01.691510v1

Excited to share the final piece of my postdoctoral work from the Joyner Lab, exploring the regenerative potential of the adult cerebellar astroglia in collaboration with @ricardkoche. 🧠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

It’s time! @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social

Check out our latest episode with Dr. @sumrubayin.bsky.social from the @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social! Learn about her research on neural regeneration in the neonatal mouse #cerebellum. 🧠

This was such a fun conversation. Thank you for having me.

The Leading Edge Fellows gathered this week to celebrate Zara Weinberg, a beloved member of our community. Our 7th cohort of Leading Edge Fellows (2026) will be named in her honor. The Zara Weinberg Leading Edge Cohort application is now open! Due Feb 2. www.leadingedgesymposium.org/apply/

Zara Weinberg passed away earlier this week. She joined my lab earlier this year when her postdoc lab formally closed. She was a brilliant scientist, supportive mentor, dear friend, avid music fan, rabid believer in public transit, open science champion, and above all just an amazing human.

Building and rebuilding complex tissues: strategic visions from a research-led workshop A #LifelongDevSI Perspective from @sumrubayin.bsky.social, @bensteventon.bsky.social and @storerlab.bsky.social (@cambridgebiosci.bsky.social) reflecting on a recent workshop doi.org/10.1242/dev....

Delighted that Ziqi Dong's PhD paper is out for all to read! Hypoxia is fundamental to normal development, and fascinating! Thanks to all of our co-authors including @jamesnathanlab.bsky.social @jellevda.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

A Nobel-winning scientist of great modesty and humour, John Gurdon died on 7 Oct. Not only did he make a discovery that laid the foundations for stem cell research, he also created one of the best environments for research at the Wellcome/CRUK Gurdon Institute wellcome.org/news/sir-joh...

John Gurdon's research inspired me in my own scientific pursuits as a stem cell biologist. Starting my lab at @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social was therefore particularly exciting. Seeing him around daily only underscored his admirable dedication to science and research. RIP John. tinyurl.com/nha6z25h

Congratulations @labrawlins.bsky.social 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Check out this list of posts on @prelights.bsky.social, discussing #preprints in #DevBio and #StemCell biology. Featured #preLight is by Jethro Lundie-Brown @scicambridge.bsky.social on a preprint by @sumrubayin.bsky.social & co. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Excited to present our lab’s work at #ISSCR2025 at Hong Kong! Looking forward to catching up with friends and making new ones. Catch me at the concurrent session on “Stem cell models of tissue injury and repair”.

Welcome 2025 Fellows and congratulations to all! Excited to see our @geraldinejowett.bsky.social in the list! @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social

Excellent to see our work highlighted in @prelights.bsky.social. Thanks Jethro!

Great talk by Niamh Divers at the @pdncambridge.bsky.social symposium 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excited to share our latest (and first from the lab) preprint where we investigated the molecular mechanisms that drive Nestin-expression progenitor differentiation in the developing cerebellum. 🧠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A conserved differentiation program facilitates inhibitory neuron production in the developing mouse and human cerebellum https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.10.648162v1

Looking forward to tomorrow!

We had an excellent time yesterday welcoming science enthusiasts to @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social and sharing our research as part of @camfest1.bsky.social @cambridgebiosci.bsky.social 🧠 Thank you everyone for joining us in person or online.

Are you enjoying all the exciting science at #biologists100? Want to spread the love of developmental biology to your friends and family? Together with @bsdb.bsky.social, we've produced a documentary video to showcase the fascinating world of #DevBio: 🎥

@labrawlins.bsky.social is telling us all the amazing things about the lungs 🫁 @camfest1.bsky.social @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social

Congratulations! @mhaniffa.bsky.social

And we’re off! #biologists100. Looking forward to celebrating with you all over the next few days, and to hearing some fantastic talks from the cell and developmental biology community and beyond.

My lab decided to celebrate international women's day this year - though women in STEM is clearly every day 😀

We need enthusiastic members to join our new lab! Please share!

It’s more and more important to communicate our science with everyone. Join us on April 2nd to talk about the cerebellum and our lab’s work 🧠 @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social @camfest1.bsky.social www.gurdon.cam.ac.uk/events/hidde...

📢 We are hiring! 📢 We are looking for a postdoc to help us work out why mice cannot regenerate the spinal cord but spiny mice *can*. More info and how to apply: tinyurl.com/4m6yzbef Get in touch if interested!

I thought one of the figures looked familiar. Check out the recent reviewed preprint on cerebellum regeneration and ROS. elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Multiple group leader positions in developmental biology in @ibdm.bsky.social Marseille, at an institute that produces some great work.

Please join us in Sacramento on Friday, March 7 from 12-4 PM to Stand Up For Science!

Should be fun events @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social

Looking forward to it!
