Friends and colleagues, ✉️An invitation to join us in March next year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of The Company of Biologists, bringing together the communities of Development, J Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, DMM Journal and Biology Open 👀 thenode.biologists.com/biologists-100…

It’s astounding to me that UK medical schools (barring Cambridge and UCL) haven’t caught up with this despite decades experience in the US. Every UK medical school should be running a MB/PhD programme.

On the latest #NBTForum podcast, Barbara Cheifet speaks with Madeline Lancaster and Sergiu Pasca about neural organoids — how they are being used to study both basic biology of the brain and their future impacts on disease research shows.acast.com/forum/episodes…

#MembraneTrafficking seminars are back! Join Fèlix Campelo Francesca Bottanelli and me for an exciting lineup of speakers in our Sep-Dec '24 season. Fascinating science covering protein secretion, lysosome-secretory pathway crosstalk, lipid trafficking...

I encourage you all to submit manuscripts to Biology Open. Transparent and uncomplicated!

JCS-FocalPlane Training Grants offer up to £1,000 to early-career researchers, working in an area covered by J Cell Science, who would like to attend a #Microscopy training course. The next deadline to apply is 7 September: biologists.com/grants/jcs-foc… FocalPlane

Showcasing current research and novel advances in the field of membrane contact site biology, Membrane Contact Sites in Cellular Homeostasis is not one to miss! Submit a poster abstract by 30 August for the chance to present your work: ow.ly/aeVU50SWWJp

Pier Andrée Penttilä (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology Flow Cytometry facility), Rose Morag Hunter (AstraZeneca) and I are looking for a postdoctoral scientist to develop a multispectral light-sheet imaging flow cytometer and apply this to phenotypic cell sorting: nature.com/naturecareers/…

Great opportunity to work with our colleague Kate and use advanced imaging methods to follow embryogenesis.

Congratulations to Akaash Kumar for passing his PhD viva! Thanks to Fritzsche M et al and Steven F. Lee for examining, and DeriveryLab for co-supervision.

How do embryo cells enter the germline at the right time and place? #LMBResearch from Marta Shahbazi’s group reveals an inhibitory mechanism in developing embryos; contact with extracellular matrix proteins inhibits specialisation into germ cells. www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/how-cells-ente…
