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…

I (unsurprisingly) loved this talk - a great reminder of the complexity of in vivo systems. It’s so easy to forget this when using looking in vitro to understand one specific phenomenon.

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

Well done Young Embryologist Network Toby Andrews + the organizing committee! Young developmental biology community is indeed flourishing! So proud of my lab 😌Chris (short talk award) and Laura (poster award) 🥇

The DEG lab had a great time at Young Embryologist Network symposium! Jahnavi Bhaskaran (she/her) had a fabulous talk about #spermatogenesis, and Maria Rigau had a fantastic poster on #ERVs. Super proud of Irina Balaguer for chairing the committee and Christos Kalaitzis for helping organising 🧬

Great job, Irina Balaguer and Christos Kalaitzis, the symposium was a huge success! Wonderful presentations by Jahnavi Bhaskaran (she/her) and Maria Rigau. Delighted to have attended 🧬 Young Embryologist Network
