It’s been so fun to see photos of everyone getting their shirts! So excited to have so many orders go out this past week! Hoping to see everyone representing their organism at SDB in Vegas this July ♥️♠️♦️♣️ sdb-official-merch.printify.me

Excited to share that @socdevbio.bsky.social has a new and improved merch store! Rep your fav model organism in one of the Society’s new original designs 🤗 sdb-official-merch.printify.me

#DevBio #Postdocs! Abstracts are being accepted for speakers in the 2025-2026 Ethel Browne Harvey Postdoctoral Seminar Series. SDB postdoctoral members are eligible to apply. Deadline: August 1. #SDBPostdocSeminar bit.ly/3x1ptgb

Had a blast at #IZFC2025 🐟🧪 Was great to get feedback on my work and hear about the cool research everyone is doing. Continuously grateful to have joined such a positive research community! 🎉

Grateful for at least 3 more years of science and truly appreciate of everyone at NIDDK who kept this moving despite the clusterfuck that is our government right now 🎉 stay tuned for more pretty fish images and ideally some insights into polarity and migration 🐟 🧪

Can’t wait to see everyone at SDB this week! Excited to give a talk in Thursday morning’s Cell Polarity session 🐟 🧪 #devbio

“Fate map?! Sounds like a video game!” - my husband This is how we need to be pitching dev bio yall

Hi Society for Developmental Biology friends! I’m excited to be running for SDB’s board of directors for their PostDoc rep seat - ballots just went live! If elected, I am hoping to focus on scientific outreach and bringing the public back to our side, scientifically. #devbio 🧪

A fish a day keeps DOGE away 🧪 #devbio

give us this day our daily fish

I do not WANT to make my devbio proposal read like a cancer proposal to get funding now that the NIH is trashed. Why don’t we have an American Neonatal Society that funds dev bio the way ACS funds cancer research? Like you can’t tell me we don’t care about improving neonatal health in this country!

In a time where antivax sentiment is causing a rise in preventable illness, my 84 year old grandfather shared this piece of history when I visited this weekend - he spoke about how people lined up in droves in NC to get vaccinated against polio. 1/2

Good news, the F32 I spent months working on got an impact score of 20! Bad news: Like what is even the point of anything anymore… 🧪 #devbio

Postdoc’s first blastula to blastula transplant 😍 all the thanks to @vprincelab.bsky.social’s teaching and experimental help 🐟 #devbio 🧪🔬

A lot going on in the world, a lot going on in this fish #devbio 🧪🐟🔬

Me just going to do my little experiments while waiting to see if the study section for my F32 will even happen 🧪 #devbio

PSA for my Cell Polarity friends: unfortunately this GRC has been canceled. Apparently the GRC takes minimum conference attendees incredibly seriously, so make sure you attend if you can afford to, and if you want a fav conference to stick around. 😭😭😭 #devbio 🧪

Lungs forever 🫁🫶🏻 🧪 #devbio

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Here’s an oldie but a goodie because my fun live-imaging gifs aren’t working on this site 😢 HCR for ptprfa/b in a 96 hpf zebrafish 🐟🔬🧪

First first author paper published! Now I can do fun things like design cover art submissions 🫁🌸 🧪

Gotta admit that a day 2 zebrafish embryo is a lot cuter than a day 2 mouse embryo 🐠🧪🔬

Happy to share this little resource I made for those venturing into the land of planar cell polarity mouse strains! I hope the supplemental table in particular will be helpful. I detailed commonly-used strains, their JaxID, references, and important phenotypes to be aware of when planning expts 🧬🐭🔬

Is Fluorescence Friday a thing here? If so, here’s some embryonic mouse dermal vasculature 😍 (cyan CD31, yellow VegfR3, magenta Prox1)
