✨ Happy to share that our work is now published in @embojournal.org ! ✨ Our fantastic collaboration between @crisprscan.bsky.social @bazzinilab.bsky.social Here is the updated thread (1/13): www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

NEW #research: A new @embojournal.org paper from @bazzinilab.bsky.social reveals how chemical tags on proteins regulate the embryo’s earliest decisions. A major leap in understanding early development. #ResearchSky 🔗 Read more: bit.ly/4i6Hdjl

Our new paper is officially published today in @embojournal.org ! We show that protein phosphorylation plays a key regulatory role during early embryogenesis. An amazing collaboration with @crisprscan.bsky.social 🔗 www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... .

Our new PhD!! Congratulation Dr @dbmrl.bsky.social and thanks @aussiebiologist.bsky.social for Phd committee!!! @stowersgrad.bsky.social @stowersinstitute.bsky.social

Happy birthday Eugenia!! @stowersinstitute.bsky.social

Happy Birthday @dbmrl.bsky.social !! @stowersinstitute.bsky.social

It is always a great pleasure to discuss your science with the scientific community you love the most. This time the platform was provided by #MidwestSDB25 @Cincinnatichildren's. Thanks for this opportunity @bazzinilab.bsky.social @stowersinstitute.bsky.social .

This #MicroscopyMonday shows #zebrafish oocytes at various growth stages maintaining a delicate balance of lipid metabolism. The different color shades in this image represent distinct levels of lipid content throughout oocyte growth & maturation. @bazzinilab.bsky.social

Great start of the #CABDseminars 2025/2026 with the talk of Miguel Rodriguez de los Santos! Dr. Rodriguez gave an insight of the studies from his PhD and Postdoc work focused on rate diseases. He was invited by @crisprscan.bsky.social! Thanks for coming Miguel!

#StowersGrad predoc @michaydiez.bsky.social recently returned to his alma mater, @intechchascomus.bsky.social , to share his #research on the #evolution of ribosome heterogeneity in teleosts. 🐟 🧬 #gradschool

🎉 Congrats to postdoc Horacio Martín Pallarés on being named a 2025 @pewtrusts.org Latin American Fellow! His work in the @bazzinilab.bsky.social (a 2010 PEW Fellow) investigates how #Zika & #dengue viruses hijack host cells. Read about the fellowship and full circle moment: bit.ly/4mHWJTS

At the same time, we made thousands of synonymous mutations in endogenous yeast genes and measured their growth. We used careful statistics and controls. Only 3%, 204 of 6874, had a fitness effect! This goes against a controversial recent result that most synonymous mutations had fitness effects.

This beautiful #MicroscopyMonday is a developing #sealamprey embryo. The green & red fluorescent stripes mark specific segments of the developing hindbrain which are highly conserved with other vertebrates. 🔬(Krumlauf Lab)

Great to see #StowersGrad predoc Paco Guerra Garcia sharing his #science at the Molecular Genetics of Bacteria and Phages Meeting! 🧪🧫 #gradschool

👏 Congratulations to Gerton Lab member, Tamara Potapova for being a recipient of the NIH competitive R50 Research Specialist Award! Her work on centromeres could reveal new insights into #cancer and reproductive #aging. 🔗 bit.ly/41DmDzP

Huge congratulation to Dr. Gabe! Gabriel da Silva Pescador on an amazing PhD defense!! It was a pleasure to be part of it!! @stowersinstitute.bsky.social @stowersgrad.bsky.social

Please join us in congratulating Gabriel da Silva Pescador, predoc in the @bazzinilab.bsky.social, on successfully defending his thesis today! Great job. 👏 #PhD #GradSchool

Transitions in development – an interview with Jeffrey Farrell @jeffreyafarrell.bsky.social talks about becoming a group leader, his insights on advocacy for developmental biology and his belief in unifying single-cell biology with classical approaches. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

It was a great pleasure to present my work at 19 th International Zebrafish conference, Madison, Wisconsin. #IZFC25 . Thank you @bazzinilab.bsky.social and @stowersinstitute.bsky.social for all the support.

Terrific rallying cry of an @socdevbio.bsky.social award lecture from @mads100tist.bsky.social at #icdb2025! Our work and community are important, #DevBio matters, and it’s up to us to tell everyone why. Don’t give the enshittifiers an inch!

Extremely honored to receive this prize from @socdevbio.bsky.social, which recognizes not only my love for developmental biology, but the extremely online I am 🧪 (protect science, protect people, viva la dev bio!)

Joaquin Navajas Acedo @mads100tist.bsky.social will receive the SDB Trainee Science Communication Award #ICDB2025 for his role in promoting Developmental Biology and Zebrafish in social media 🐟🧪

#TCTeAC ... what's more than organizing one conference? Two conferences! This one is more Day Science on biology of Argonaute proteins from prokaryotes to Metazoa. Great line up of invited speakers. Some special fun included!

NEW RESEARCH: Humans & fungi are genetically similar, making it tricky to target fungus without harming our cells. A study from the Zanders Lab & University of Georgia researchers found dozens of genes unique to most pathogenic fungi, w/ potential to develop new antifungal therapies. bit.ly/3FL9LQu
