Hey, craniofacial and development folks! Check out a new preprint from me and @crumplab.bsky.social about the developing jaw. Here, we show how major signaling pathways establish distinct compartments along the oral-aboral axis. I'm excited to share it with you all!

Congratulations, HDR!! 🎉
Absolutely delighted to be hosting Dr Mo Lotfollahi from the Wellcome Sanger Institute (@sangerinstitute.bsky.social) for our next external seminar at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology University of Oxford (@ox.ac.uk)!
Please join us in person if you are in Oxford on Monday 👇
Exciting opportunity to join the vibrant Montpellier scientific community!
Wonderful opportunity, for those interested! We're sure @pauligroup.bsky.social (pictured below) will speak highly about her experience 👩🔬
New preprint from the lab! We dig into the regulatory roles of TEs in the mouse placenta, with some surprising findings. Led by the awesome @smamante.bsky.social. Particular kudos to him for navigating the many twists and turns of the project.
Today in Oxford - the Jenkinson DevBio symposium, showcasing exciting #DevBio science from all around the UK! What a lineup 🎉

Come join us in beautiful Roscoff for this Conference Jacques Monod on Developmental regulation: from molecular to ecological niches
May 18-22, 2026 Roscoff, France
Abstract deadline: January 31, 2026
Apply here: cjm.sb-roscoff.fr/en
How can we see the cells that make up a living organism? Membrane-localising tags can drive fluorescent proteins to the cell's outer membrane, making their outlines visible. But the tags don't work well in all organisms. How do you find one for your species of interest? 🧵

Happy to share our paper now out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social - and check out our thread about the findings at bsky.app/profile/vale...
Felix Zhou's u-Segment3D is out:
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
It leverages 2D cell segmentations from orthoviews to generate a ‘consensus’ 3D segmentation.
It does a great job on segmenting densely packed samples, and we have used the algorithm in many applications.
Join us in Sheffield! We are keen to support early career researchers in applying for independent research fellowships (IRFs) to join our friendly and collaborative environment, in areas related to developmental biology, stem cells and regenerative biology, and neuroscience.
My institution---the Sloan Kettering Institute, the basic science arm of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center---is hiring new faculty this cycle! Applications close Nov 15.

Our calcium paper is out in PLOS Biology!
Check it out! #Calcium #Embryo #Development
Such a treasure trove!
Thank you for continuing work on such a useful community tool 🐟🧬🤍
Looking forward to working with new colleagues on a collaborative project in lung disease modelling and transcriptomics - please share! And email Jenny @jennydickens41.bsky.social, or me, with any questions. 😀

This is two stories in one: a case study/cautionary tale on developing genetic tools in new organisms, and the first hint at a gene regulatory network for choanoflagellate multicellular development (which turn out to involve a Hippo/YAP/ECM loop!) A 🧵
So many possibilities! Exciting development
A riveting read and VERY cool timelapses!
Very interested in the vector space of contractility/compaction and the link with implantation, not to mention the differences in aged embryos. Read and enjoy!
This comic is becoming increasingly realistic.

Just gorgeous!
Conservation (impact), third place is particularly jarring. We need to do better to our planet and all who we share it with!
Great place to postdoc! State of the art microscopy, supportive environment and cool topic?
Yes !
Oh look at this!! Beautiful, and it will be out just in time for your Xmas shopping. Great gift idea for kids, a coloring book about vision!!! 🤩
