Our paper on the embryology of the dunnart is now up! Stunning images of these amazing little animals, helping marsupial conservation efforts!! doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.711 @AxelHNewton @itiscolossal @BioSci_UniMelb @Jendometrium

Incredible work!
Happy to see JiSoo Park’s work on mouse neural tube organoids published journals.biologists.com/dev/… 👏🎉!! Not quite a #SyntheticEmbryo… but still impressive display of the self-organization capacity of stem cells. Check out the neural crest cells that emerge from these organoids!

Super excited to embark on this new journey with @itiscolossal. With this commitment we have the best chances of making what was once science fiction, science FACT @AJ_Pask @federallamm
The return of the thylacine begins today. Learn about reviving the next wave of wild: colossal.com/thylacine #itiscolossal #deextinction

Thoroughly enjoyed #EvoDevo2022! Was worth the long trip from Australia to meet such great people and see Developmental Biology in its purest form! 👏👏

🚨 1st solo author paper alert 🚨 I discuss how marsupials possess distinct heterochrony in their craniofacial patterning, and how comparative studies with mice can be leveraged to learn more about mammalian skull development and evolution doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2022.9…

The talented @Laura__Cook has generated a new, high-resolution developmental series of a new marsupial model, The Fat-tailed Dunnart. See our study below!

In this photo, I'm holding a beautiful black-footed ferret cloned from 32-year-old cells! After 7.5 years of work with amazing partners, there are no words to describe how it feels to share this world first. Read about her journey in the NY Times: nytimes.com/2021/02/18/scien…

HIRING! Massively excited to advertise an @arc_gov_au funded postdoc position through @cabahCoE, working alongside @GlobEcoFlinders , 3 yrs full time: tinyurl.com/39prkntm. If you're not in Australia, let's chat first (link in ad). This one might be tricky to do remotely.

Amongst a busy christmas, wedding and thylacine paper, this little review also came out! Here @Smith_CraigA and I examine the mechanisms underlying vertebrate limb morphogenesis and how the emu has evolved tiny vestigial wings 🐂🐖🐁🦘🐓
This looks like a fascinating review 👉 Regulation of vertebrate forelimb development and wing reduction in the flightless emu, from @AxelHNewton & Smith anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wi…
