All shirts come in two versions - one with a front print of the model organism, or the “SDB Logo Tee” version, where the print is on the back and the SDB logo is on the front left chest, like in our H. sapiens shirt, which you can find here: sdb-official-merch.printify.me/product/2781...

Grateful for at least 3 more years of science and truly appreciate of everyone at NIDDK who kept this moving despite the clusterfuck that is our government right now 🎉 stay tuned for more pretty fish images and ideally some insights into polarity and migration 🐟 🧪

It’s a scary time to be an early career researcher, and I really feel that on top of doing great science at the bench, we should be out there doing great science communication in both formal and informal settings!

Hi Society for Developmental Biology friends! I’m excited to be running for SDB’s board of directors for their PostDoc rep seat - ballots just went live! If elected, I am hoping to focus on scientific outreach and bringing the public back to our side, scientifically. #devbio 🧪

Anyway here’s a picture of a zebrafish I took through the eyepiece of a microscope today because despite all this horrific bullshit I’m still really into how an embryo became an embryo #devbio 🧪

Developmental biology has merit on the facts that every single one of us has to develop to exist. Not all of us get cancer or heart disease! Frankly, it’s a failure of our community that we haven’t made this point to the general public.

I do not WANT to make my devbio proposal read like a cancer proposal to get funding now that the NIH is trashed. Why don’t we have an American Neonatal Society that funds dev bio the way ACS funds cancer research? Like you can’t tell me we don’t care about improving neonatal health in this country!

According to the email we were 11 people short of the minimum, and it seems like that coupled with a “downward trend” in attendance sealed the deal. Definitely a huge bummer

PSA for my Cell Polarity friends: unfortunately this GRC has been canceled. Apparently the GRC takes minimum conference attendees incredibly seriously, so make sure you attend if you can afford to, and if you want a fav conference to stick around. 😭😭😭 #devbio 🧪
