Save the date! March 23-26 will be the dates for our 2026 @bsdb.bsky.social annual meeting: Molecules to Morphogenesis! Excited to reveal more details soon! Want to attend with a reduced rate, and have access to conference/travel grants for other meetings too? Don't forget to join the BSDB :)

*TODAY Wed 4 June 15:00 BST (UTC+1)* Development presents... webinar, celebrating the winners of the @bsdb.bsky.social postdoc poster prize from the Biologists @ 100 conference. We'll hear from @giuliapaci.bsky.social and @shifaant.bsky.social Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

I had such a fun day @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social Life Science meeting and discussing all things cell and dev bio. Thank you for the invitation @perez-carrasco.bsky.social and @marcotrizzino.bsky.social.

Check out our new work building dynamical landscapes to understand cell fate decisions. This has been a true adventure and long-term interdisciplinary collaboration. I think I'll add one more language in my resume - I can speak to mathematicians 😂

Congratulations and welcome to a great community!

We are thrilled to announce the 2025 Leading Edge Fellows! 40 outstanding postdoctoral fellows doing pioneering research in a wide range of biological and biomedical disciplines. Learn more about these exceptional scientists: www.leadingedgesymposium.org/fellows

When you go to your Faculty website to look up some info and find your image in the cover 😍🔬 @ucllifesciences.bsky.social www.ucl.ac.uk/lifesciences...

Fantastic day @yen-network.bsky.social 2025 full of excellent talks The only issue is that breaks are not long enough to see all the posters and talk to everybody !!

Starting the short talk session we have Jake Cornwall Scoones from the @CrickLab on using NeMECiS to explore and engineer synthetic CREs to modulate gene regulatory behaviour. Check out their pre-print and workshop!

And to top this @shayma-a.bsky.social, first author on this work from @kenzoivanovitch.bsky.social ‘s lab won the Best Poster Prize today @yen-network.bsky.social 2025

Congratulations to Dr @jcornwallscoones.bsky.social on the successful defence of his thesis

Congratulation Dr Cornwall-Scoones! 🍾 It's been an honor to be part of your journey. As part of "an end of an era", Jake is back in lab today doing some more fun experiments to test his theories

I was lucky to get a preview on Maria’s work last fall. Don’t miss her poster. So sad to be missing what looks like a great meeting!!

If you are attending #EMBLChromatin, go and check @mariamafau.bsky.social poster and learn more about how ZIC2 controls neural induction and patterning by playing a dual and sequential regulatory role.

Wonderful Kenzo and you are in The guardian too!

New from our colleagues @kenzoivanovitch.bsky.social and team: You want to understand heart development? You better look early! www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... and a highlight in The Guardian www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Fantastic opportunity to move to Europe, and yes, it includes the UK! But applicants can be from any nationality. Our team at UCL is still growing. Get in touch if any of our work sounds interesting. delaslab.com

Choose Science. Choose Europe. A new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is now open. With a budget of €404.3 million, it will support around 1,650 researchers from Europe and beyond. Apply by 10 September → europa.eu/!fBTMgF

📢Registration is open for our IPLS Annual Symposium, 11th June 2025! We will showcase exciting #interdisciplinary #research performed by IPLS researchers and collaborators. Limited spaces, register early to avoid disappointment 👇 ucl.ac.uk/physics-livi...

Thrilled to see @giuliapaci.bsky.social from @yanlanmao.bsky.social @lmcb-ucl.bsky.social amongst this year’s cohort!

🚨🚨#Hiring! 3 year #postdoc position open in my lab @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social to study the interplay between DNA damage responses and #preimplantation embryo development. Fully funded by EARLYFATE #ERCCoG 📆 Apply by 23rd May 2023 🔗Details below @sebioldev.bsky.social Please RT!🙏

Last week I had the immense pleasure of hosting @justuskebschull.bsky.social at the @lmcb-ucl.bsky.social. It doesn’t get any better than listening to great science from a great friend, and seeing old and new colleagues interacting.

It was a great talk and once again a great reminder of why this job is so much fun. Learning new great science every day.

On my way to Erlangen! Looking forward to presenting our work on cis-regulatory strategies for developmental patterning, meeting lots of new people and catching up with friends.

Congratulations! Jake is an inspirations for everyone working with him. Such exciting times ahead. Sad to see him pivot away from gene regulation but excited to watch him uncover the secrets of organ size. Science is slow so until then...please enjoy his recent pre-print: tinyurl.com/ytzecrz9

What a treat to be part of this effort! Congratulations @jcornwallscoones.bsky.social and team!

Pleased to share our latest work. Extremely fun project with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social l and @jcornwallscoones.bsky.social y.social Curious about how cis-regulatory elements encode information? Passionate about patterning (re)engineering? Please read! (🧵 by Jake below) bsky.app/profile/jcor...
