Last chance to tell the NIH if you think animal models are important for biomedical research! 👇👇👇👇

John Wallingford@jbwallingford.bsky.social · last yr.

The NIH is asking scientists and the public to comment on plans to drastically limit animal model research. If you think animal models remain important tools for basic and clinical research tell them! Click the link below and scroll down to send your comments! www.fda.gov/news-events/...

Excited to grow our team! The Tissue Morpho and Mechanics Lab at Hopkins is seeking a full-time Lab Technologist (50% lab tech + 20% lab manager + 30% scientist) to support our research in developmental biology and biomechanics 🐸🖖🔬🧪🫵. Great opportunity to be part of a vibrant and curious group.

What a fantastic essay by last year's @mblscience.bsky.social Embryology students! A perfect paean to the most wonderful science: "It's exhausting; it's exhilarating; it's Embryology." journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Embryology 2024: a summer like no other

Hi everyone! I'm offering a new course, Introduction to Mechanobiology, for upper-level undergraduates and new graduate students in engineering. I'm seeking a textbook and resources for teaching. If you've taught a similar course or have recommendations, I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

MSK's Dr. Alexandra Joyner is hanging up her lab coat following an illustrious 40-plus-year career. When asked what advice she has for new scientists, she shares: "You have to decide: Why are you going into this career? And then you have to stay true to that."

Stoked to present our latest, superbly led by Chris et al & @torres-sanchez.bsky.social We tackled a fundamental problem – how tissues are patterned during development – found that geometry-constrained ECM fractures pattern the myocardium in the vertebrate heart 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Interaction between two cells is necessary and sufficient to initiate PCP sorting😀, as shown by Lena P. Basta, Bradley W. Joyce, Dr. Eszter Posfai @eposfai.bsky.social , and Dr. Danelle Devenport. Here is the article. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Epithelial polarization by the planar cell polarity complex is exclusively non–cell autonomous

For cells to polarize collectively along a tissue plane, asymmetrically localized planar cell polarity (PCP) complexes must form intercellular contacts between neighboring cells. Yet, it is unknown wh...
