Great wrap-up of #2026SDB - if you are hungry for more #devbio, consider joining us for the upcoming Gordon Research Conference & trainee-led Gordon Research Seminar in Developmental Biology, Jan 17-22 at Il Cioccio! 🧬🐟🐀🧪🌱🧫🦎🪰🪱

Very well deserved!

MadScientist@mads100tist.bsky.social · last yr.

Extremely honored to receive this prize from @socdevbio.bsky.social, which recognizes not only my love for developmental biology, but the extremely online I am 🧪 (protect science, protect people, viva la dev bio!)

12 examples of how developmental biology research led to fundamental discoveries for biomedical research. There are many more! Download ppt & jpg versions on @socdevbio.bsky.social website. Use & modify as needed. Poster formats are also posted to print & hang in your lab!

So cool! That cleared and stained dolphin is incredible. Plenty more gecko embryos where this came from! #GeckoEvoDevo

Here is the 2025 embryo alphabet from alligator to zebrafish. Developmental biology is stunning & leads to important discoveries for human medicine. @socdevbio.bsky.social
