Effective and empathetic scientific communication is so critical right now. We had an interactive workshop at the #2025ICDB led by @rebeccacalisi.bsky.social and Dr. Kevin Alicea-Torres and facilitated by @spiraldoc.bsky.social and myself- and we practiced this. Please check out our perspective!

Cassie, a short brunette, is wearing a bright pink linen dress with her hair pulled back in a clip. She is wearing glasses and a lanyard with her name. She is smiling and standing in front of a pixelated scientific poster with the title “Multi-Omic Analysis to Identify Barriers to hPSC-derived Skeletal Muscle Maturation”. The title is white font on a sky blue background.
A photograph of the ocean of El Escambrón beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The sky is partially cloudy and light blue. The ocean is a blue-green color with a few peaceful waves. In the background are palm trees.
A photograph over a cliff near the fortress Bastión de San Sebastian in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The grass of the cliff is a vibrant green with dark green foliage. The sky is clear and a pale blue. The ocean is calm and a medium blue color. The edge of the brick fortress is barely visible along the right edge of the photograph.
So thankful to have spent the past week in Puerto Rico at #2025ICDB #2025SDB! 🌴 This was my first conference outside of NYC, and it was great to hear from so many renowned developmental biologists and receive feedback on my research.
Returning from a great #2025ICDB in PR. Heading back to Harvard with a bit more hope. My cup is full

The end of conferences are bittersweet. You spend days with folks aimed with the same goals- thinking about science, creating community, making new friends and seeing old friends. But whew- they are also exhausting! 😴 See you in Vegas @socdevbio.bsky.social! Safe travels #2025ICDB attendees!

Loved this workshop at #2025ICDB, where @rebeccacalisi.bsky.social & Kevin Alicea-Torres helped us understand that the best way to combat misinfo is to start with curiosity (instead of correction).💪 Thanks to @rogerslabucd.bsky.social & @spiraldoc.bsky.social for pushing us out of our comfort zones!
Time for awards at #2025ICDB! First, @mads100tist.bsky.social wins the @socdevbio.bsky.social SciComm award for his advocacy of science & inclusion, but also for being hilarious, thoughtful, and the most online. 🤩🔥
He reminds us to resist, because our strength lies in community & diversity 💪 🙌
Congratulations to Blanche Capel for being awarded the #2025SDB Edwin G. Conklin Medal!

As cephalopods, longfin inshore squid have three hearts: two to pump blood through the gills & a third to circulate oxygenated blood around the body. @gertjanveenstra.bsky.social shows how each heart forms from a shared embryonic origin, in close concert with the gills.

Why is it advised not to drink when pregnant? For one, Mingi Hong highlights how exposure to environmental factors, like alcohol, affects developmental processes & increases the risk of birth defects like holoprosencephaly.
