That's it: #GfE2026 #GfESEBDDSDB2026 is over. Thanks for the science, talks, posters, chairing, discussions, helpers in back & front. See you latest at #GfE2028 for more #DevBio & oidsks for all the fish, plants, mice, worm, flies, frogs, squids, brown algae, human, -oids, whatnots and you.

The @geneticsub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social was very well represented at this week’s joint meeting of the @sebioldev.bsky.social @gfeev.bsky.social and DSDB meeting in Potsdam with talks by @isabelalmudi.bsky.social @sofiajaraujo.bsky.social @araujolabub.bsky.social

Salim Seyfried concludes the #GfESEBDDSDB2026 #GfE2026 meeting wrapping up the highlights. It was a beautiful and diverse meeting with the many different fields of developmental biology across all of nature.

And #gfe2026 comes to an end! Thanks to the organisers from @gfeev.bsky.social, @sebioldev.bsky.social & DSDB, and all the speakers and delegates for a really fun and interesting meeting. Delighted that @dev-journal.bsky.social and @biologists.bsky.social could be involved! ..I'll stop typing now

In the last session of the #GfESEBDDSBD meeting we had the pleasure of hearing about Regeneration and disease models and a talk by Miguel Angel Garitagoitia-Romero from @nadiamercader.bsky.social and @miguel-torres-1963.bsky.social labs!

Last morning of #GfESEBDDSDB2026 and a session on Stem cells and organoids where our board member @trayon.bsky.social gave a fantastic talk on her most recent results on protein metabolism in developmental tempo #gfe2026

Cephalopods, like squid, have three hearts. @gertjanveenstra.bsky.social explores how they develop & what we can learn about heart evolution. Gill (brachial) hearts form first, followed by a central, systemic heart, and they develop differently than vertebrates in terms of gene activation. #gfe2026
