An open journal club dedicated to discuss recent advancements in biology | Hierarchy-less, democratic and open for all | Supported by @iiserkol | DM to join!
We had a super fun session with Dr Rashmi @_Priya_R! Along with her fantastic work on morphodynamics, she passed on many extremely valuable nuggets of wisdom to our curious young attendees. Missed the session? DM us for a recording of the presentation!
It was super fun😀thanks for inviting me! You guys hammered me with such sharp questions 😅, I left feeling extremely proud and inspired meeting these young bright minds 🙏
It's frustrating when you want to work in a certain field but the country has only n number of people working in it that too with limited resources. Need some help with finding/connect with Epilepsy Researchers/Scientists around for learning opportunities for a noob graduate.
Is Dev-Bio undergoing a crisis? Maybe not ... but it'll surely be one for you if you miss these upcoming talks from the giants in the field @AMartinezArias and @benoitbruneau! So, crisis or not, come and attend the last talks of the season, and decide for yourself!
ALT The talks would be held this thursday - at 1730 UTC. Speakers are Benoit bruneau - who'd talk about spatiotemporal behaviour in early cardiac progenitors, and Alphonso Martinez-Arias would talk about mammalian gastrulation from a stem-cell perspective.
Annoyed by the unpredictable weather? Good news is that great VGZT sessions are always predictable! Join us this Thursday to hear about human and zebrafish development. Attending for the first time? Use the link in the bio to register!
Buckle up for a wild ride tomorrow, as we explore sea anemones with @genikhovich, and then change gears to learn about bio-energentics in development with @J_Rodenfels. New to this? Use the link in the bio to register for regular email updates!
Some of you might still be waiting for summer, but we sure don't have to wait more for our regular dose of gastrulation! Cutting-edge tech meets science with @Merlin_Lange, and new frontiers in human development are discovered by @IdseHeemskerk.
See y'all this Thursday!
ALT The talks would be held this thursday - at 1730 UTC. Speakers are Merlin Lange - who'd talk about multimodal lineage tracing to understand NMPs in zebrafishes, and Idse Heemskerk would talk about human primordial germ cells.
We're back! After a long, long hiatus, we're looking forward to a hearty discussion with @giorgiogilestro of the Imperial College, London, about his recent work on sensory perception during sleep. Feel free to register using this form : forms.gle/iRQED3jZq1gaJNcy5. Open for all!
Hi VGZT community. This coming Thursday we will host Dr Claire Chazaud and Dr Alexandre Francou to talk about gastrulation in 🐁. For all new comers please register to attend the talk. See you all Thursday
We might be inching towards the end of winter, but VGZT is here to stay! This Thursday we'll talk about the evo-devo of questionable openings with @Hejnol_Lab and the role of extracellular matrix in stem-cell based models with @DhirajIndana. New here? Register using link in bio!
ALT The next VGZT session would be held on the 24th of february, 1730 UTC. The speakers are - Andreas Hejnol, who would speak about the evolutionary-developmental biology of the mouth and anus, and Dhiraj Indana who would talk about the role of extracellular matrix in lumenogenesis in an epiblast model.
ICBMs are so old-school. We present to you, the ICGT! Or, the Inter-Continental Gastrulation Talks! The journey takes off from sunny Cal with @StreichanS and his flies, and ends up over in Moscow with Yulia Kraus and her exotic cnidarians. Join us on Thursday! #MakeScienceNotWar
Time is fleeting, life is ephemeral, but gastrulation is a constant! As we move on to February, here's a glimpse of what's coming up in VGZT!

The first and only rule of gastrulation club is : Everyone talks about the gastrulation club! To honor this rich tradition, we'll be joined by Dr Caroline Hill from @TheCrick and @thibaut_brunet from @institutpasteur. Join us this Thursday for a journey ranging diverse phyla!
Our new year resolution was to be evermore curious about gastrulation, and as a first step to that, we'll be having @mechmorpho and @womtyatt, who'd take us on a journey to understand the most important process of our life, using their respective model systems!
New year, new models, new talks! Join us in the following weeks to experience cutting edge research on our favorite natural process - gastrulation! See our profile for the link to register and attend for free!

Talks on 13th Jan-
Lance Davidson from USA : Frogs
Thomas Wyatt from France : hPSC models
Talks on 27th Jan-
Caroline Hill from UK : Zebrafish
Thibaut Brunet from France : Choanoflagellates
A very merry Christmas to those who celebrate! We'll 'see' you soon and bring new, exciting and gastrulating presents after the new year! Till then, enjoy the holidays!
The elves must be incredibly busy pumping out all the Christmas presents, same as how the cells in the embryonic factory work to create the gift of life, supported by impeccable engineering. Experience the role of physics in life with David Shook and @StephanGrill this Thursday!
ALT Poster of the event, with pictures of the speakers' research, and the topic. Topic 1 : Force generation by tissue surface tension as a significant consideration in gastrulation movements by Dr David shook. Topic 2 : Syncytium Hydraulics by Dr Stephan Grill. Time : 5.30 PM UTC, 16th Dec.
Thinking to start the festive month by celebrating one of the most beautiful processes in life? Fear not! For the gastrulating Santa has bought the presents you seek! Meet @KyraCampbellLab and @tclebedeva as they talk about ways early sculpting of life is regulated! Link in bio!
ALT Poster with the details of upcoming VGZT session. To be held on 5.30 PM UTC! Speakers are Dr Kyra Campbell from Sheffield, UK and Tatiana Lebedeva from Vienna, Austria!
Love is in the air... Sex is in the...brain😳? Join us this Saturday (Nov 20th) to discuss with @bill_krause and @tollkuhn from @CSHL about how sexual signals from the gonads reach the brain and how they could be causing that you move more! Paper presented by Dr @Horemheb25
🪱⭐️For the second session, we are going to meet gastrulating annelids with @Chema_MD and gastrulating sea stars with @Vane_Barone. Join us on 18th of November, 1730 UTC! If you haven't registered yet, use the link in the description to do so! ⭐️🪱
