I illustrated my way through the @bsdb.bsky.social Spring Meeting a couple weeks ago - here's my illustrated summary of the conference! I sketched (almost) all the speakers and glimpses of the science that made it such a great few days.

Often take a moment to stop at look at this photo in the reception of the building where I work. It was taken in 1968 by Shirley Baker from the spot the building was later built. @manchester.ac.uk

What an excellent thing! Thank you @biologists.bsky.social And as someone who grew up in the Lake District extra great for this protected tree to be by Winderemere.

A different kind of human cell division could improve our understanding of cancer and help us grow specific tissues

So proud of my dear friend Pleasantine Mill @cilialab.bsky.social, winner of the 2025 @bsdb.bsky.social Wolpert medal She gives an impassioned speech on the importance of community & connection, particularly during these precarious times If you can't read her slide, do see alt text #biologists100
