Being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society is a great honour. My deepest thanks go to the hundreds of students and postdocs who have passed through my lab over the last 30 years. They have been the soul of the lab, and this recognition belongs as much to them as it does to me

Jorge Diaz and @mayor_lab show that epithelial and mesenchymal cells navigate chemical cues via fundamentally different force-generating mechanisms, offering new insight into how diverse cell types achieve collective movement during development & disease. hubs.la/Q03_J7Ms0

Beautiful, thorough, personal in places, memoir of John Gurdon from Eddy de Robertis, disciple and friend. Å #MustRead about a generation and a time from which we have moved on but that laid the foundation for contemporary biology.

John Gurdon, whom we lost today, was not only my mentor but a dear friend. We met 30 years ago in Cambridge. He believed in me more than I believed in myself. His generosity, boundless curiosity, and sense of adventure shaped my life as a scientist 🖤 He will be missed by many.

Saddened to hear of John Gurdon’s passing. A brilliant scientist, generous mentor, and endlessly curious. When he examined my PhD viva in 2006, he’d just come from doing experiments at his bench - at 73. He shaped so many careers, including mine: cam.ac.uk/research/news/nobe…

John Gurdon en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G…, beacon of a generation that tackled head on the deepest question of biology: the development of an organism. The best tribute to him and his peers should be to remember and follow the path they forged for how to do Science in form and content.
