Please check it out! In this paper with lead author- @Tess_Leathers visualized the expression of enzymes that regulate the inflammation pathway during embryonic development. We are continuing to study this pathway to discover its early roles in brain and neural crest development!

@SocDevBio students/postdocs-I know you are feeling all the feels about the assault on science and what it means for your careers. I am planning a few "Resistance and Resilience" zoom meetups as a forum for support and conversation-DM contact info if interested in participating

Running empty on dev bio jokes this busy Mon. afternoon (do not despair, they shall undergo epimorphosis like a lizard's tail), so just a quick reminder that @SocDevBio #SESDB2025 abstract & registration deadlines are TODAY at 11:59 PM ET. Join us!! #DevBio

Join us for the @SocDevBio Southeast Regional Meeting, May 19-21! sdbonline.org/sesdb2025 Showcase your exciting research & receive valuable feedback at any stage, from a newly fertilized idea to a rapidly gastrulating hypothesis to a fully 'developed' story.😀#SESDB2025 #DevBio

Join your local rally tomorrow!! #StandUpForScience2025 #ScienceForAll

Join us Fri., Mar. 7 12-3 PM at Railroad Park in #Birmingham #Bham for a much-needed Stand Up for Science Rally! Make your voice heard in support for publicly funded research that benefits all of us! tinyurl.com/sufs-bham #StandUpForScience2025 #ScienceNotSilence #ScienceForAll

As a PI, most of my lab skills have deteriorated. I barely know how to do anything in the lab, but I'm pretty good at multi-factor authentication, paperwork, electronic signatures... I also tell myself that I'm good at thinking about the big picture, whatever that means.

We are very happy to announce the InSDB 2025 meeting🎉This year, the meeting will be held jointly with @intlsocdiff When? December 15-17, 2025 Where? We’ll let you guess this one for now! Drop your guesses in the comments. Mark your calendars, and stay tuned for more details!

Happy Halloween from CDIB! Our labs did an amazing job decorating their PI's door! @yoderlab_uab @SaxenaLab @mus_elegans @ThalackerMercer @HjelmelandAnita @BradenMcF Susan Campbell Lab Special congratulations to @BradenMcF Lab for winning the contest!

Nobel prizes are a constant reminder of the things you thought had already won the Nobel Prize.

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

#Devbio folks: NICHD is starting Strategic planning. It is essential that you weigh in and stress funding basic research into mechanisms of development across a wide range of research organisms is essential! The RFI is open for public comment until FRIDAY tiny.cc/c6anzz

26/ For more of my thoughts on the Cell Observatory, and why I believe it is best implemented and funded outside of traditional academia, please see the Comment via the link below. A pdf version can be viewed at rdcu.be/dQeD1

Always fun when your paper excites the flat earth crowd: "Despite the finding that lampreys lost expression of pre-existing genes, these evolutionists still tell the public that our great-great grandpa was a blood-sucking parasite."
