During #development, distal visceral #endoderm (DVE) cells migrate to shape A-P axis specification. @m-stower.bsky.social @srinivas-lab.bsky.social &co reveal the role of Ca2+ dynamics in this, showing that inhibition of #calcium transients causes DVE arrest @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nHWxF4

Enjoying the BSDB meeting “bridging mechanics and genetics in early development” at Warwick. A great diversity of talks

My office for today!

Great to see that Tribe with Bruce Parry is coming back for a new limited series - this was a landmark programme in 2005-2008. Absolutely worth a look. www.bbc.com/mediacentre/...

I am recruiting an #ERC funded PostDoc to work on the evolution of vertebral counts in cichlids. This is an experimental project & will be looking for candidates with experience generating reporter lines, live-imaging and experimental embryology. Application deadline: 25th Feb. tinyurl.com/33jbu8fa

A great meeting. Thanks to the organisers for selecting my short talk in such a packed schedule! Great fun as ever discussing development and cell science with everyone over the last few days in Liverpool #biologists100

“Play and share” - inspiring and important words from Manu Prakash @prakashlab.bsky.social at this morning’s session #biologists100 @biologists.bsky.social

Enjoying a great meeting at the CoB@100 in Liverpool. A fun poster session yesterday evening and more interesting talks today. #biologists100

In sunny Liverpool ahead of the CoB@100 conference!

A wintery IDRM this morning

Feeling Festive! Very happy to share our new bioRχiv pre-print – investigating the role of calcium signalling in the early mouse embryo: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great to be at Oxford Digital Festival 2024 showcasing ‘Synchrony’ digital art work with It’s creator Andy Lomas
