It's been 10 years since I gave a talk at the Micro-Evo-Devo symposium in the #EuroEvoDevo in Upsala 🤯 (I feel old) This year me and my lab will be in Glasgow, and won't miss this symposium!
Last year, we met Stephan Schneider at the #EuroEvoDevo in Helsinki. Their group has been working in something similar in the unequal cleaver Platynereis dumerilii. So we combined forces to have add data on a separate branch of the annelid tree, Errantia

Last contribution session in evolution of regeneration starts in 15 mins. We are waiting for you in the Human Biology room 1 ! #EuroEvoDevo #EEDGalway
J'ai mis à jour le premier billet #EuroEvoDevo pour centraliser tous les billets sur ce sujet http://fb.me/6R7NI2oae
