Heart Morphogenesis, ECM… interesting!

This is horrifying - (reposting for @akifuzman.bsky.social)

Didn't expect it, but today I was at the place where the prototype of capacitors was invented 🤯

And the result. Not quite as nice (no full anterior head structures formed) as Hilde's, but still not bad. 🐸🏆

New pre-print on human neural crest organoids for studying developmental changes in diseases such as neuroblastoma. Heroic work from @carmenmorenogon.bsky.social bridging Liu/Serio labs @andreaserio.bsky.social with protocols from @tsakiridis.bsky.social. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Come visit us 🤓

A nice highlight from my postdoc work at @cincyresearch.bsky.social scienceblog.cincinnatichildrens.org/developmenta...

And 2 organizer grafts, #Hildestyle ! Always so much fun to teach these experiments at the site they were originally performed 🙂🥰

#devbio classics with master students in Freiburg @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social Animal cap forming autonomously epidermis, and a Nieuwkoop sandwich to demonstrate mesoderm induction... 🤩

Glowing lungs and lateral line paths without multiciliated cells 🤩 We thank Zeiss @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Leica @leicamicrosystems.bsky.social BioVision biovis.com Thor @thorlabs.bsky.social Keyence keyence.de Nikon and @cshlnews.bsky.social for providing microscopes and support! ❤️ 🔬

It's difficult to succinctly summarize a entire germ layer, but Aaron Zorn, Scott Rankin and I tried recently! Our "Endoderm at a Glance" review with @dev-journal.bsky.social is out now. shorturl.at/kHf9Y

#cilia #frogs & #friends @for5547.bsky.social FOR5547 Match made in heaven 🤩

Great start of @for5547.bsky.social PI retreat with primary #cilia and 🌞😎

Here is the announcement of a Symposium @college-de-france.fr on 26 June on Information Flow and Computation in Biological systems. A great line of speakers on a variety of topics from embryogenesis to neuroscience, immunology and microbiology. Free entrance, come if you are in Paris end of June 🤩

And the final stop: NYC. Thanks to Sergei Sokol (ISM, Mount Sinai) for the time to show and discuss recent projects with him and colleagues. Cilia and PCP - a never ending complex story! With bonus hang out w. Thomas Hollemann who is there on sabbatical. 😄🐸

Thanks to Chris Brownlee @stonybrooku.bsky.social for inviting me to see the beautiful town and meet fantastic #cilia colleagues! We even had #Xenopus crew meetup with Jerry Thomsen and @gibeauxromain.bsky.social after the talk. Wonderful bonus of the visit.

Again, now with official call 🤓 Come join us in #dresden! Happy to have a chat if you need more information! #xenopus #labtech #science #careers #work #TUDresden

Had a fantastic time at the @cshlcourses.bsky.social CSHL 2026 Xenopus course! Very happy to see the next generation of #Xenopus 🐸 researchers coming up: smart, enganged, friendly and excited. Thanks to all students, lecturers, cshl, the fantastic TAs and of course Rachel Miller. ❤️👏🏆 See u soon!

Did you know that fully half of the talks at the Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting this year will be chosen from submitted abstracts? It's true! Great opportunities for trainees and PIs, too! @socdevbio.bsky.social @rashmi-priya.bsky.social @lowelab.bsky.social scdb2026.sites.ucsc.edu

Great question, Peter! and YES! Fully half of the talks at Snata Cruz meeting will be chosen from abstracts! We will select plenty of trainees to speak! scdb2026.sites.ucsc.edu

We know... but do the trainees know they have a good chance to present as well in a great and friendly audience? Fantastic venue for the first talk on your thesis project for example 😉😉

#work with us!

Did you know the Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting has an entire session just for NEW PI Talks? And a New PI Keynote Talk? It does! These will be chosen from the abstracts. New PIs, sign up! @socdevbio.bsky.social @rashmi-priya.bsky.social @lowelab.bsky.social scdb2026.sites.ucsc.edu

🚨 Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders? In our new paper in @science.org , we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #EvoDevo

Happy #CtenophoreCtuesday! Comb jellies have eight plates of long, fused cilia, called "ctenes" that beat in synchronization to propel them. The cilia act like prisms, breaking up ambient light into a shimmering rainbow effect. Credit video to Teresa Zgoda (www.instagram.com/taz_photo_/). #SciArt 🪼🥁

Be there or be a square animal cap! 🧪 #DevBio
