Ph.D. Openings — Fall 2026! If you are passionate about neuroscience, developmental biology, & working with fruit flies, our research group might be the perfect home for you. You can apply using this link: forms.gle/Abt8gX7JhJaE... See poster for more details. Thanks

Sometimes, you meet a student who reminds you why we teach & mentor. Our latest paper, led by Gonzalo & now published in eLife, reveals how the cell cycle acts as a timekeeper for NSCs. A truly exceptional undergrad whose curiosity & hard work made this work possible. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Today, we are excited to host a "Meet A Scientist" session with Dr. Asif Ahmad Bakshi from New York University Abu Dhabi. If you are in the area and interested in learning about his research, scientific journey, and opportunities at NYU Abu Dhabi, please join us. Also, there will be pizza!

LINEAGES, TIME, AND DIVERSITY: We are excited to host our inaugural Neural Diversity Lab Retreat! A special thank you to Asif Bakshi for joining us and sharing his passion for science and mentoring through @jkscientists!

It is the time to highlight our research accomplishments on the 34th Annual Research Day at the Department of Biology UNM In addition to trainee talks/posters, we have two amazing scientists talking about Lizards and Flies! More information about the program here biology.unm.edu/news-events/...

Registration is open for the Annual SWSDB @socdevbio.bsky.social meeting. Join us for insightful talks from leading experts at the forefront of Dev Bio, along with special sessions on education/outreach featuring impactful programs & their leaders. Register, submit your abstract, & see you soon!

I am thrilled to share that Dr. Adil Wani has passed his PhD with distinction! 🎉 His dedication & brilliance have been the driving force behind our lab’s success—every award & grant we received has his hard work at its core. Adil's clonal images are beautiful. I couldn’t be prouder of my lineage!

#SWSDB2025 Apply and visit us in NM!

Time for Developmental Biologists to convene @unm.edu in New Mexico for this exciting SouthWest Dev Bio meeting www.swsdb2025.org. We have a fantastic panel of scientists and educators. Register for this exciting conference, and see you soon! NM is very pleasant in spring.

SDB will be hosting its Inaugural Art Show at the 20th International Congress of Developmental Biology in Puerto Rico June 18-22. Both 2D and 3D art submissions related to developmental biology are welcome. Learn more: www.sdbonline.org/2025icdb_art... #2025SDB #2025ICDB

The Show Must Go On - In our "Meet A Scientist" Session, today we are excited to meet and interact with our own alumni Natalia Chmielenko, who is now a graduate student at Springfield College, Boston. Natalia is also a great artist & we use her painting in almost all of our posters. Thanks

This is a huge recognition from the community I love so much. Winning the Elizabeth D. Hay New Investigator Award is a big surprise and honor! This recognition belongs to my incredible mentors, colleagues, and the amazing people in my lab. 1(n) #DevelopmentalBiology #DevNeuro
