This is amazing!

Happy to have contributed to this work spearheaded by @stochastalive.bsky.social!
Congrats, Idoia! 🥳

Thrilled to share my main postdoc work with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social
We used genomic barcoding + scRNAseq in chick & human embryos to reveal a lineage architecture that reshapes how we understand neural tube development & cell fate decisions

Of all the wild things that could have happened on viva day, I never expected to be in a badge-off with Paul Nurse 🤣
It has been a pleasure and a privilege being @cohouart.bsky.social and @zenahadjivasiliou.bsky.social's joint PhD student!
Can't wait for what's next!
Another week, another Houart lab image🔬
This week, it's a 3D image of a multiplex, in-situ of a chick forebrain by @danafd.bsky.social who studies early forebrain development in vertebrates & uses HCR to show the expression patterns of gene products instrumental in pallial/subpallial specification.
This week's image is by @joseriveraz.bsky.social who's tracing the lineage of progenitors in the human developing cortex.
Here, José shows the building blocks of the developing cortex at 10pcw with SOX2 (apical progenitors), CTIP2 & TBR1(neuronal markers), NESTIN (radial glial fibers), and DAPI.
It has been an absolute pleasure for our lab to attend #ECCN2025 for the first time this year.
We had meaningful discussions and learned a lot from a vibrant community tackling tough questions on brain evolution and development! Super excited for what lies ahead!
This is probably the coolest conference poster I've ever seen.
