Excited to see my first commissioned InPreprints @dev-journal.bsky.social online. Thank you @maxvcg.bsky.social for making this first editorial experience a fantastic one. In preprints – housekeeping the housekeeping genes: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Last week was an eventful one for our lab! One highlight was our afternoon out in the canal. Booked a while ago, it turned out to be the hottest June day in London (so far) At peak occupancy, we welcome summer student Donna and are joined by rotation student Kate and our Yaiza visiting from 🇪🇸

That didn’t take long at all

Join us in beautiful southern Spain for some fun dev bio !

For a minute there I thought there was some important, conserved aspect in the germ cell migration of hedgehogs and flies ! 🤣

Now online! Gregory J. Hannon (1964–2026)

Our exhibit "Immortalising Natural History in 3D" will be one of of the flagship exhibits at the @royalsociety.org #SummerScience Exhibition from June 30th - July 5th! @ucl-c4ia.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk @ucllifesciences.bsky.social with @leaveylab.bsky.social @unisouthampton.bsky.social

Great back-to-back short talks by Shayma and Eleanor PhD students in the labs of my former postdoc colleagues @kenzoivanovitch.bsky.social and @trayon.bsky.social So special to see their trainees shine! #YEN2026 @yen-network.bsky.social

So much fun! Zebrafish development under the microscope. Starting them early 😂

Ready for the @ucllifesciences.bsky.social Science Fair!! #UCLlifesciences #Futurescientists

Interested in self-organization? See below!

First paper from the Kebschull lab is out!

Such a pleasure to welcome Roser Vento Tormo @sangerinstitute.bsky.social to the LMCB seminar series @lmcb-ucl.bsky.social I have looked up to Roser since our university years in Valencia where she was a year ahead and I had to keep looking higher as she became a single cell superstar ⭐️

Don’t miss Jake’s talk this Wednesday! @jcornwallscoones.bsky.social

Spectacular Developmental Biology Jacques Monod Conference in Roscoff. Thanks to @bardinlab.bsky.social and @lionlchristiaen.bsky.social for putting together such an exciting scientific program. And the setting was incredible too, with a beautiful sunset to end the meeting.

This entire thread it's like an exhibition of beautiful science images. I have to say the evo-devo crowd really beats us all. Gorgeous!

It is a friends of Development reunion: graduated PI Fellows @girishkalephd.bsky.social & @clotilde-cadart.bsky.social, inaugural Preprint Editor @joadelas.bsky.social & Reviews Editor @ingridtsang.bsky.social at the Developmental regulation: from molecular to ecological niches meeting in Roscoff.

Excited for the next few days full of developmental biology at Roscoff. Typical weather and great views cjm.sb-roscoff.fr/en/conferenc...

An upside of not de-cluttering more often is that I found this amazing schematic from when I was sketching the figures of my first postdoc paper. How it started ⬇️How it ended Credit to my husband who gifted me a printed copy of the issue! doi.org/gs4jpk

New from the lab: BARseq3! Barcodes + high efficiency spatial transcriptomics and translatomics in the same cells, or just a nice spatial transcriptomics assay. All in a modular, expandable system to enable truly multimodal measurements. Check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I am excited to be part of this team of Preprint Editors! Preprints have been essential in my career and so many others, accelerating science and changing the publishing ecosystem. I'm excited to contribute to making the most of them.

Back at @cruk-ci.bsky.social for a seminar on our work. Hopefully nobody came for the cancer biology. Exciting as well as intimidating to go back to my home for the second half of my PhD.

Huge congratulations to Vil Fernandes for being awarded the Lister Prize! Amazing talk as always!

Stunning sunny day to celebrate the lab’s 2nd anniversary. Thank you to everyone for the good wishes and for coming to celebrate with us.

Another session of the London Developmental Neurobiology chalk talk series! Thank you to our funder, @crick.ac.uk - university partners networking fund and the co-organizers @giulia-boezio.bsky.social and Vil Fernandes

It’s official! @bertacava26.bsky.social has received a Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Postdoctoral Fellowship 🚀🚀🚀 She will study proteostasis during embryo dormancy @babrahaminst.bsky.social Very well deserved. proud of this achievement & excited for the discoveries ahead 🐭⌛️

Sharing this very sad news. Greg influenced many beyond his lab and across fields. This is a very nice write up from CRUK-CI highlighting what he meant to many of us. Thank you for putting into words what many of us can't right now. www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/news/in-memo...
