Come join us! 🔬🐣 The Piacentino Lab at Johns Hopkins @hopkinsmedicine.bsky.social is recruiting a postdoc to study membrane lipids, cell migration, and invasion in neural crest and embryonic models! @socdevbio.bsky.social @ascbiology.bsky.social #devbiol #cellbio #lipids

I was so excited I screenshot and cropped out an important part of the cover! 😂 Sorry @ascbiology.bsky.social! Here is the full MBoC cover.

Thank you to the Society for Developmental Biology @socdevbio.bsky.social it was a tremendous honour to receive the Viktor Hamburger Outstanding Education Award. Special thanks to @rrbehringer.bsky.social and all the organisers of the SDB meeting in Las Vegas for such a truly remarkable meeting.

I want to thank the @socdevbio.bsky.social Engagment and Outreach committee members! You all are amazing! And huge thanks to all of our special symposium speakers and our theme table facilitators over the last few years. It takes a village to create community! See you all next year! #DevBio ❤️
