Absolutely delighted to host Dr Jenna Cash from @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social for our next @kiroxford.bsky.social External Seminar on Monday 29 September at 12 pm ! Please join us if you want to learn more about how the most recent spatial omics technologies can be used to understand skin biology!

New perspective in @jcb.org by @maikbischoff.bsky.social & @mayorlab.bsky.social about how mesenchymal cells use contact-dependent rules to generate swarm-like behaviors, patterns & organ forms. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #CellBio #CellMigration #Morphogenesis #Development #Science

Just gorgeous! Conservation (impact), third place is particularly jarring. We need to do better to our planet and all who we share it with!

Great place to postdoc! State of the art microscopy, supportive environment and cool topic? Yes !

Oh look at this!! Beautiful, and it will be out just in time for your Xmas shopping. Great gift idea for kids, a coloring book about vision!!! 🤩

🚨 Don’t miss it! Abstract submission closes Monday, Sept 15. frenchzebrafishmeeting.fr Fantastic keynote speaker @KarinaYaniv and a great opportunity to connect with the @FrenchZebrafish Community. All talks will be in English. Join us! #FZM #zebrafish

This is why we are all in this field…to see, and one day to be able to produce work like this. Patho-DBiT-seq www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

STAMP brings us non-destructive single-cell profiling without the sequencing www.omic.ly/stamp-brings...

Finally here! Our preprint on the MOSAIC, a multimodal adaptive optical microscope enabling non‑invasive in‑vivo imaging from molecules to organisms, is out. MOSAIC captures everything from subcellular dynamics to neural activity in live mice. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Come and join us for a fantastic conference around all things human development and growth! Lots of talks from abstracts and a stellar lineup of invited speakers? YES. Hope to see you all there ! @wellcometrust.bsky.social

The Node, our sister site, is collecting feedback in their survey. If you are a developmental or stem cell biologist and can spare 5 minutes, please complete the survey to help shape the future of the site. #DevBio #StemCells #CommunityBuilding focalplane.biologists.com/2025/04/28/h...

I like the ambition ! Choose France we will think about funding later. Never stop dreaming!

Two great new #Zebrafish preprints from the #WeinsteinLab using a new transgenic that reports epigenetic silencing and activation! Great to study epigenetic changes in vertebrates, and we even did an ENU screen. Excellent work by @mmarvel.bsky.social et al. 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In December I accepted a position as a senior investigator at the NIH in the National Human Genome Research Institute & Center for Genomics and Data Science Research. Bringing the party in the desert to Maryland. We are hiring postdocs & postbacs! Please reach out :)

Check out these feather buds on the chicken embryo's wing! Our latest study @plosbiology.org reveals that temporary inhibition of sonic hedgehog signalling transforms feathers into simple, protofeather-like structures—similar to those of their dinosaur ancestors🔬🦖🧪 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

“Do scientists put themselves at risk by speaking out against the Trump administration? “Hell yes,” said Jonathan Jackson, a national expert on increasing diversity in clinical trials… “I might lose the grants I have by the middle of next week” being on this stage…an answer that silenced the crowd”

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up. If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes. Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.
