We know... but do the trainees know they have a good chance to present as well in a great and friendly audience? Fantastic venue for the first talk on your thesis project for example 😉😉

#work with us!

Did you know the Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting has an entire session just for NEW PI Talks? And a New PI Keynote Talk? It does! These will be chosen from the abstracts. New PIs, sign up!

🚨 Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders?
In our new paper in @science.org , we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸

Do you serve on, support, or advise an Animal Research Governance Committee (e.g., AWERB, IACUC, or Animal Welfare Committee) that reviews in vivo research applications? Would you like support to help you check if research protocols are sex-inclusive? Get involved in SIRF-UP 👇

It doesn't look like 🙄

When life gives you lemons, find your niche and sit it out... 🤣

Frog and Toad gleefully look at Toad's garden, where little green plants are sprouting. From "The Garden" In *Frog and Toad Together*

“Toad, Toad, wake up,” said Frog. “Look at your garden!”

Toad looked at his garden. Little green plants were coming up out of the ground.

Carole... damn autocorrect.

Proposed model of TBK1 function in Smed. Injection of a DNA-containing transfection mix activates TBK1 via a general wound response program and likely via nucleic acid sensors. Upon activation, TBK1 induces a transcriptional response and antagonizes its own inhibition by promoting release of Rapunzel proteins.

Happy #CtenophoreCtuesday! Comb jellies have eight plates of long, fused cilia, called "ctenes" that beat in synchronization to propel them. The cilia act like prisms, breaking up ambient light into a shimmering rainbow effect. Credit video to Teresa Zgoda (www.instagram.com/taz_photo_/). #SciArt 🪼🥁

Be there or be a square animal cap! 🧪 #DevBio

Opening of this year's @dompsfr.bsky.social Symposium by @kevindaniel.bsky.social and @advaitagashe.bsky.social 🌱 Look forward to an exciting 3 days for our @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social #plantscience community 👍🏻

Promises kept

I wanted them to admit it.
The EMBO is funded our tax payer money. I don't have to agree with all their decisions, but I do feel like we can have a say on how they spend money besides research funding of grants and meeting support. I'd vote to not pay AI companies and to support artists instead.

I hope it was commissioned. It has a strong ai feel.

Animal caps are the original organoid!

Rave worm! What a gorgeous display this polychaete worm’s setae is giving under UV light!
