In the same year (1936) a short publication in the Anatomischer Anzeiger he presented what is probably first ever microfilm-record of zebrafish development. He was able to follow development from fertilization to the end of epiboly. Clearly, there was much to be done, but history intervene. (4/7)

🎄 Day 2 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🧬 This study uncovers a key role for foxl2l in zebrafish sex differentiation. 🐟 Loss of foxl2l blocks meiosis, causes germ cells to accumulate, and results in complete female-to-male sex reversal. ❄️🔍🌟 doi.org/10.1016/j.yd...

Thanks for the shoot-out @zebrafishrock.bsky.social! This beautiful work by the Hnisz lab characterized a micropeptide (killswitch) and used it to probe condensates. This opens the door to assess the function of condensates and @shivalidongre.bsky.social did just that in our beloved fish embryo.

I read the interviews last night and enjoyed them a lot - it shows that being a woman in science isn't a "one size fits all" experience, yet the challenges we face seem so universal. The system has work to do, but in the meantime, let's remember how many amazing and inspiring women surround us 👩‍🔬👩‍🔬
