Welcome to embryo alphabet. Each day I will post an unannotated embryo image. Today P is for pangolin. Repost tweet w/an image of a different species embryo & add a quote including name that begins with same letter of the day. @SocDevBio

Scientific illustration is a great tool to help understand complex topics. I've created an infographic explaining @millieerace's exciting research on zebrafish neural development, which she presented at the @YEN_community 2024 meeting! 🐟🧠 thenode.biologists.com/diffe…

Pleased to share the pre-print of my PhD work - investigating intrinsic and extrinsic timers in axial progenitor cell populations using experimental embryology @BenSteventon2 @gserranonajera @SteventonLab biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 🐤🐤🐤⌛️⌛️

A population intrinsic timer controls Hox gene expression and cell dispersion during progenitor...

During embryonic development, the timing of events at the cellular level must be coordinated across multiple length scales to ensure the formation of a well-proportioned body plan. This is clear...

NERC just sent an email out recognising that the cost of living increase means its PhD stipend isn't sufficient to live on. Their solution isn't to increase it, it's to suggest students start selling Avon and sign up to clinical trials... @ARIES_DTP @UKRI_News @NERCscience
