Isn’t nature pure magic? ✨❄️❄️

It’s another Meet the Member Monday! This week I’m pleased to introduce 2 of our PhD students (both proud 🇧🇷!!) Erikles & Lucas! Erikles is a veterinarian with a background in experimental biology. He’s leading our transgenic animal studies🐭 to understand causes & prevention of neural tube defects

Just got a glimpse of the water footprint of A.I. how was this not more widely discussed? Feels like I’ve being living in a cave 🤯 while some cities are already facing water shortages linked to data centers. Easy reading generative-ai-newsroom.com/the-often-ov...

Excited to share our new paper! 🧬 Exploring how redox-modulating compounds can protect mothers and babies in diabetic pregnancies — a step toward new gestational therapies and long-term health. Honored to be part of the amazing team behind this work! 💫 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

DVM are much more than doctors. an intense and never ending training! www.nature.com/articles/lab...

Mouse (Mus musculus) 🐭 is the powerhouse of mammalian genetics, essential for studying embryogenesis, organ development and gene function using transgenic technologies. 📸 Image by Zhong Hua also featured on the cover of Developmental Biology textbook (11th edition) #ModelMonday

#Throwback 🧪 REVIEW | The time is now: accounting for time-of-day effects to improve reproducibility and translation of metabolism research S Deota, S Panda et al.

New special issue from Journal of Experimental Biology This issue considers the functional roles of the #gut, from the #cellular level to its interactions with other #organs and tissues, including its role in #ecophysiological and #biogeochemical processes. journals.biologists.com/jeb/issue/22...

📢New post on FocalPlane - Connecting Researchers Through Bioimaging: Reflections from UCL’s BioImage Interest Group Courtney Lancaster @courtneyl7a7.bsky.social‬ reflects on the success of the BioImage Interest Group at UCL, offering a template for other communities.

I’ve been carrying a few “?” in my head lately 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Talking with other early-career researchers, I keep noticing how many feel a bit disconnected from the research they’re doing — sometimes just following a plan they didn’t create or truly understand. (Cont.)

This is extraordinarily dangerous and will slow academic biomedical research and drug development. A total ban is on the horizon. www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/nih-announce...

Did you know June is Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Awareness Month in 🇨🇦? Learn more from www.hydrocephalus.ca & Spina Bifida families of 🇨🇦 sbcan.ca And visit our lab’s website to see our work in this field made possible through the power of clinical & translational science research partnerships 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻

Happy International #ClinicalTrials Day! 🎉 Did you know that these trials are key in making sure new treatments are safe and effective? A big thank you to all the volunteers and professionals who make this possible. Your work paves the way for healthier tomorrows. 🙌 #PatientPower

The Young Embryologist Network Conference was amazing! So much inspiration seeing all the brilliant work 🧬 🔬 🌎! I could only attend virtually this year, but it’s now a top priority to be there in person next time. Huge congrats to the organizers — what a fantastic event! #YEN2025

Excited to see everyone at #YEN2025! Be sure to say hi and check out our new 3D Real-time Embryology module in action. @yen-network.bsky.social

Congratulations to our co-president, Dr. Kristin Connor (@kconnor.bsky.social), for being awarded the Nick Hales Award by the International DOHaD Society. #DOHaD2025

Health Sciences research day 2025 First presentation of this big and beautiful project that I’m so proud to be leading! Milestones that deserve to be eternalized! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽✨✨✨🚀🚀

Disinformation spreads faster than facts in today's rapid information age. We've never been more vulnerable. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

✨ Kicking off the year strong! Thrilled to share our new paper showing that hypothyroidism reduces the uterine Kiss1/Kiss1r system, disrupting estrogen & progesterone signaling and uterine receptivity mediators across the rat estrous cycle✨ Check it out! www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26...

🤭🤭🤭 fresh hihihi

research for a healthy start to live ✨✨
