#ELMI2026 Workshop on vertical root tracking 🌱🔬 using a 63x oil objective and montage tile scan with PlantScope by @the.3i.social None of this would have been possible without the brilliant samples provided by @schneiderlab.bsky.social, Katharina Bürstenbinder and Gina Stamm – thank you!!

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.

Andreas Wodarz warmheartedly introduces Elisabeth Knust, the winner of the Klaus Sander Award of #GfE2026 for her lifetime achievements in devbio. Her groundbreaking scientific research contributed to elucidating molecular & cellular mechanisms underlying development of epithelial cell polarity.

The Hilde Mangold Prize of the German Society for Developmental Biology is awarded to Maik Bischoff (@maikbischoff.bsky.social) at #GfE2026 for his research on "Mesenchymal sculpting as a driver of chiral organ development" in Drosophila.
