Excited to share our latest work Turner Lab 🚨 Pace of development is often adjusted to gestation time ⏱️So how does the extremely short gestation of marsupials affects their embryo development ? 🐨🦘#DevBio biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really grateful for the opportunity to present my PhD work! Super interesting conference so far with a great community🐠

🎤 How biology found its form🎤 We're ending YEN24 on a high with our keynote speaker Pavel Tomanck from the Central European Institute of Technology who is bringing together his two research streams through uncovering the “Evolution of Morphogenesis”. #YEN2024 #YEN24

Great concluding talk from Pavel Tomancak. Tons of eye candy, and the Fiji/Mammut/Mastodon "interlude" really worked for me! Thanks, Young Embryologist Network for the great Zoom connection. Our Biologie Uni Hohenheim watch party was fun - kudos to Girish Kale for organizing.

It's amazing to see how far this field has evolved. The opportunities ahead make it even more fascinating! #yen2024 Young Embryologist Network
