Our publisher @biologists.bsky.social is celebrating 100 years with a special conference, bringing together different communities supported by the Company’s journals. Check out this collection of articles that complement the plenary themes of #biologists100: journals.biologists.com/dev/collecti...

Development’s publisher, The Company of Biologists, is celebrating 100 years with a special conference that brings together the different communities supported by the Company’s journals for the first time. The ‘Biologists @ 100’ conference in Liverpool, UK, features three plenary sessions on themes that affect the future of biology: biodiversity and climate change, health and disease, and emerging technologies. This subject collection features review-type articles that complement these plenary themes, including articles that explore how developmental and stem cell biologists can contribute to understanding developmental responses to climate change and the protection of biodiversity, how studying development is key to understanding developmental differences and human disease, and how important emerging technologies (including molecular tools and computational advances in machine learning) are being applied for studying developmental biology and stem cells.

I've enjoyed being at a broad conference #biologists100 and seeing talks that I wouldn't normally see. Fascinating (and entertaining) plenary talk yesterday from Sadaf Farooqi on obesity. If you're here at the meeting, what out-of-the-ordinary talk or poster did you enjoy the most?

🎉Congratulations to the Top 3 images from the Node–FocalPlane image competition! 1️⃣"Cell-estial bloom" by @oozguc.bsky.social 2️⃣"Dancing actinotroch" by @allancarbal.bsky.social 3️⃣"Who’s active?" by @jupeloggia.bsky.social thenode.biologists.com/results-from... @focalplane.bsky.social #biologists100

"Cell-estial bloom" Image from Özge Özgüç:
A ‘Cell-estial bloom’ of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) flourishes on a micropatterned island. This image presents a colony of live hiPSCs, with fluorescently labelled Lamin B delineating the nuclear lamina within each cell. Acquired with a Zeiss LSM 880 Airyscan microscope, this maximum intensity projection is enhanced with depth-coded coloring to reveal the captivating three-dimensional landscape.

"Dancing actinotroch" by Allan Carrillo-Baltodano:
Actinotroch larva of a phoronid worm with phalloidin shown in yellow and acetylated tubulin in magenta. Imaged with a Zeiss LSM 800 at 10 x magnification.

"Who’s active?" by Julia Peloggia de Castro:
The image depicts a zebrafish embryo at 9 hours post-fertilisation on a lateral view. Cells are stained with MitoTracker, which labels active mitochondria, and cell membranes are labelled in cyan with a EGFP transgenic membrane tag. Image was taken using a 20x objective on a spinning disk confocal microscope.
