Science reading over the bank holiday weekend, thanks to @katjaroeper.bsky.social Wonderful book from Katalin Kariko engaging read and truly awe-inspiring. Now sharing book details with everyone I know πŸ“™πŸ˜€πŸ“•

Will be a great meeting @kottond.bsky.social @jennydickens41.bsky.social and lots more...

Delighted to hear that the new editor of Development will be Alex - congratulations Alex!!!

Adventures in involving and engaging the public in human developmental biology research In this Perspective, Naomi Clements-Brod and @labrawlins.bsky.social give an update on the Human Developmental Biology Initiative public engagement programme: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Interested in involving public groups in fundamental developmental biology research? Check out our article in @dev-journal.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Enjoy a facinating new publication from the Surani lab here at the Gurdon Institute πŸ—žοΈ It explores "The emergence of human primordial germ cell-like cells in 3D gastruloids". Read the full article here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #DevBio #research #science #GurdonInstitute

How amazing to start as you mean to go on - winning a poster prize at your first conference! Congratulations Mien Chew @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social Thank you Biologists@100

If you are in or around Cambridge UK, join us at the @cambridgefestival.bsky.social family weekend on 29th and 30th March. Stop by my stand and learn some tick bite prevention techniques in #TickBitePreventionWeek. Sharing resources from @lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social @lymediseaseuk.bsky.social

It was a lovely event - thanks for organising @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social public engagement team! Great that 2 lab members could showcase their work also.

Fantastic!!!

Fascinating presentations this morning at the ERS Lung Science Conference #LSC2025 from: Carla Kim - regulation of progenitor identity Emma Rawlins - Cell fate decisions Reinoud Gosens - Airway neuroplasticity in asthma #SciSky #IPF #Asthma @labrawlins.bsky.social @rcsi.bsky.social

Indeed - amazing talk!!

Beautiful day in Cambridge for the Spring Equinox.

πŸ“£ We are advertising for a postdoc to join our team at the University of Edinburgh! Our lab studies gene regulatory mechanisms in development, and how genetic changes may impact these processes to alter development and shape human craniofacial form and function 🧬πŸ§ͺ

Please do take a moment to read this joint editorial from @biologists.bsky.social's Editors-in-Chief. I'm feeling a bit lost in knowing how to support my friends and colleagues in the US right now. I wish there were more we could do than 'just' express our concern. If there is, please get in touch!

My lab decided to celebrate international women's day this year - though women in STEM is clearly every day πŸ˜€

Spring has reached Cambridge 😎 First day this year we have been able to eat lunch in the garden.

I enjoyed reading this very cool preprint over the weekend - congratulations @graycamplab.bsky.social and Laurian Cabon, should be a very powerful tool for the field 😍 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.

Last chance to enter our science writing competition and win a cash prize and have your work published in our magazine!

Addgene trophy for Dawei Sun's amazing CRISPR plasmids adapted for use in organoids and iPSCs - how cool! 😎@addgene.bsky.social doi.org/10.7554/eLif... if you are interested in the details ...
