Damn right.

Scientists: Here’s a poem to help you resolve, no matter what happens, to keep doing science. Read it with intent. #devbiolwriteclub 🧵 1/2

Preprint Alert! Juyeon Hong in the lab has dissected the molecular organization of distal tips of vertebrate motile cilia. She even found a new compartment in the extreme distal tip marked by Ccdc78 and Ccdc33. Give it a read! @biorxiv-cellbio.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

SDB will be hosting its Inaugural Art Show at the 20th International Congress of Developmental Biology in Puerto Rico June 18-22. Both 2D and 3D art submissions related to developmental biology are welcome. Learn more: www.sdbonline.org/2025icdb_art... #2025SDB #2025ICDB

The Society for Developmental Biology has released a statement on how the Abrupt Dismissal of NIH and NSF Staff Undermines Government Efficiency. bit.ly/3X9VEKd

The embryologist Ernst Haeckel is famous for his maxim that “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” and for sketchy imaging. While Haeckel figures prominently in #DevBiol, the Fifth Dalai Lama doesn’t. Perhaps he should, though. He scooped Haeckel by about 200 years. #LongBibliography 🧵 1/14

The abstract submission page is now *ACTIVE* in our *free* Fertility meeting this June in Paris! Please consider submitting an abstract to be considered for a short talk!!

27 years ago today I took her to drinks at Club Deville and dinner at Star Seeds Cafe and…..she married me? What was she thinking? Well, she’s stuck with me now, happily.

UK launch event for THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE HUMAN EMPIRE: 6:30 March 14, Aylsham, Norfolk, £5 in advance or on the door - details here www.thebookhive.co.uk/event/henry-...

People need to know that NIH grants are the backbone of American biology and thus of our biotech industry. I took a moment away from doing science to talk about how science gets done with @oaldridge.bsky.social with @kutnews.bsky.social, this time about recent IDC cuts. www.kut.org/science/2025...

Our values and resolve are only strengthened by recent events.

Frog!

Is your job, or the job of someone you know, mostly funded by indirect costs on NIH grants? If so, I’d love to chat with you for a story in @ScienceNews.bsky.social. You can DM me or email me at aviveros [at] sciencenews [dot] org. #MedSky #ChemSky
