Dear Students, If you send a when2meet poll, please don't let 1 month go by before you consult it to schedule the meeting. Even a couple of hours after filling it out, most faculty schedules are already different. Please schedule the meeting ASAP after sending the when2meet. Sincerely, A busy PI

Congratulations to @mayorlab.bsky.social on this well-deserved award! He gave a wonderful talk and I spotted some Vegas themes represented in his talk too! Placodes and fireballs!🤩

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.

Better late than never! Last month, we posted our preprint on single-cell RNA sequencing of the #zebrafish sox17 lineage — a collaboration among several labs including us, @stefanmaterna.bsky.social and @thelovelylab.bsky.social. A few key takeaways below: 1/3 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Transcriptional divergence of the zebrafish sox17 lineage begins during gastrulation

The endoderm is specified at the onset of gastrulation and subsequently undergoes extensive migration before forming an epithelial sheet that gives rise to multiple organs, including the gut and respi...

Huge thank you to the organizers of the #2026SDB meeting! It was a fantastic conference. I really enjoyed all of the wide-ranging scientific topics, excellent talks, and I think you all know how I feel about the venue. Safe travels to all and hope to see you next year. ❤️🙏🏽 😍@socdevbio.bsky.social

FYI a just a heads up to SDBers #2026SDB- there is always turbulence flying into the Las Vegas airport - the pilots are used to it but it can be a bit scary if you aren’t expecting to it. See you soon! ✈️ 🤩 @socdevbio.bsky.social

I'm looking forward to #SDB2026 in Las Vegas! I put together a Family-Friendly Guide to Vegas with tips on restaurants, activities, transportation, weather, and more. It’s one of my favorite cities and I hope you enjoy your trip! www.sdbonline.org/uploads/file... #DevBio @socdevbio.bsky.social

Hello AQMHD community! The “final” #AQMHD2026 program is live—final, that is, until we add talks selected from submitted abstracts! 🐟🧬 Join us Oct. 17–21 at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. Abstract submission opens soon—watch for details next week! aqmhd.org/program.html

Annual killifish continue to surprise us: they make neutrophils before almost every other cell type, even before gastrulation. Neutrophils usually arise from the lateral plate mesoderm (forming in cyan), but in killifish they are already patrolling around the embryo in gold. tinyurl.com/killiphil

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the FIRST time, been shown to PREVENT COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

The array of organs in the animal body differ dramatically in their architecture, but cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherins is a common principle. Our lab usually focuses on epithelia but cadherins are also active in migrating mesenchymal cells like these migrating testis myoblasts 1/n 🧪

A 20 year study on 2 NIH diversity programs in Science Advances shows they doubled undergrads' odds of getting a Ph.D. That is, before the funding for those programs and for the study itself was terminated last year: www.statnews.com/2026/06/17/n...

NIH diversity programs doubled undergraduates’ odds of getting a Ph.D., 20-year study finds

A new study found that two diversity-oriented programs supported by the NIH doubled the odds that an undergraduate would earn a Ph.D.

Eulogizing one’s own mentor is so hard. Thanks to @marklewandoski.bsky.social and Francesca Mariani for sharing and capturing so much of Gail in this piece.

Development@dev-journal.bsky.social · 2mo ago

In this Obituary, Francesca Mariani & Mark Lewandoski write about Gail R. Martin, one of developmental biology's most influential conceptual architects, a scientist who reshaped how we think about signalling, pattern formation & genetic analysis in the mouse. doi.org/10.1242/dev....

Gail R. Martin, PhD (1944–2026), a Member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and Foreign Member of the Royal Society, was a recipient of the E. G. Conklin Medal (2002) and the Pearl Meister Greengard Prize (2007). She served as Professor for nearly 50 years at the University of California, San Francisco and subsequently as Professor Emerita.

New preprint from my PhD is out! We show that loss of miR‑219 disrupts neural border gene programs and prevents neural crest specification. Excited to finally share it 🚀 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #xenopus #miRNA #genomics

MicroRNA miR-219 is required for neural border and neural crest development in Xenopus neurulas

Neural crest (NC) multipotent stem cells give rise to many tissues including most of the peripheral nervous system, pigment cells and the craniofacial mesenchyme and skeleton. During gastrulation and ...
