#EGGED2024 begginers course kicks off with an introduction to NARF by Dr Megan Davey! Looking forward to an EGGciting week The Company of Biologists Royal Society of Edinburgh Molecular Instruments The Genetics Society Electron Microscopy Sciences

Great first day of #egged2024 with The Grocott Lab and a photogenic Geoff Mok 🐣The Roslin Institute

Learning all things chicken development at #EGGED2024 - some fantastic transgenic lines available at the The Roslin Institute! Kasia Milto from the lab successfully mastering ex ovo culture 🥚

Never expected to attend a chick practical with my PhD supervisor. Priceless! #egged2024 The Roslin Institute NARF

Learning how to manipulate chicken embryos from the masters! Thanks ⁦Dr Megan Davey⁩ ⁦marianne bronner⁩ #EGGED2024

#EGGED2024 is clucking!!! EMBO Events The Roslin Institute The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies NARF The Company of Biologists Royal Society of Edinburgh Molecular Instruments The Genetics Society Electron Microscopy Sciences

Looking forward to another action-packed day of feathery fun at #EGGED2024! EMBO Events The Roslin Institute The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies NARF The Company of Biologists Royal Society of Edinburgh Molecular Instruments The Genetics Society Electron Microscopy Sciences

So EGGcited to be using transgenic chicken at #EGGED2024. This one is Chameleon, activated by a TET-Cre bead.

So grateful for a special guest appearance from marianne bronner at #EGGED2024 with EMBO Events The Roslin Institute The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies NARF The Company of Biologists Royal Society of Edinburgh Molecular Instruments The Genetics Society Electron Microscopy Sciences

So happy to use the Chameleon transgenic chick embryo in #EGGED2024! This is a picture showing TAT-iCre bead-induced recombination.

The last of the EggHeads leave #Egged2024. I’m going for a lie-down.

Failure! (1) During #egged2024, the most frequent comment from attendees, was that it was really useful watching me fail. Even after nearly 30 years of chicken embryology I still fail to open an egg correctly every time, place a bead, graft in tissues….

Failure (2) @#egged2024 …I think failure is part of the scientific process. At least, it’s part of mine! But mostly you don’t see the trial and error, failure, trouble shooting, infertile eggs, novel equipment set-ups, that go into successful experiments.

Failure (3) @#egged2024 The only real failure, is not learning how to improve a process. Most ‘failed’ experiments are not failure, just a step towards getting it right.

Failure (4) @#egged2024 So I’m really pleased that #egged2024 had a ‘real life in the lab’ vibe. We had some conference failures too- notably not enough food at the Brainstorming Evening - solved by £150 pizza (pizza solves everything)….

Failure (6)and Recovery @#egged2024 The best fail was accidentally throwing away Alberto Rosello-Diez manipulated eggs at the last moment of EGGED Experts yesterday 😱. Thankfully I managed to recover them from the eggy soup in the waste bag!

Waking up to a grand summers day in Edinburgh with some nice sets. Feel a surf might be in order…

So pleased we could support Prof. Stephanie Lindsey Kasia Milto with caring grants from The Genetics Society EMBO EMBO Events to attend #egged2024. This was probably the highlight moment for me being instructed by marianne bronner injecting dye into 8HH chick head mesenchyme. Awesome.

In other news, I had the loveliest of times getting inducted to the chicken embryo cult at #EGGED2024 in pretty, pretty Edinburgh! An amazing model system with an even better community! Join us :) 🐣

Tat-cre beads implanted into the hindbrain of a chameleon embryo for #egged2024. And yes, this works well in culture! Thank you everyone for a fantastic week The Roslin Institute NARF EMBO Events
