HIRING! Massively excited to advertise an Australian Research Council funded postdoc position through CABAH, working alongside @GlobEcoFlinders , 3 yrs full time: tinyurl.com/39prkntm. If you're not in Australia, let's chat first (link in ad). This one might be tricky to do remotely.

In this photo, I'm holding a beautiful black-footed ferret cloned from 32-year-old cells! After 7.5 years of work with amazing partners, there are no words to describe how it feels to share this world first. Read about her journey in the NY Times: nytimes.com/2021/02/18/sci…

Great new PhD opportunity in the Smith Lab. Come work with us on cool Evo-Devo!

Honored to receive the 2021 ANZSCDB ECR presentation award!

New marsupial genome alert! Awesome work by @CharlieFeigin generating the first genome for the Eastern Quoll

The talented @Laura__Cook has generated a new, high-resolution developmental series of a new marsupial model, The Fat-tailed Dunnart. See our study below!

Big things inbound!

🚨 1st solo author paper alert 🚨 I discuss how marsupials possess distinct heterochrony in their craniofacial patterning, and how comparative studies with mice can be leveraged to learn more about mammalian skull development and evolution doi.org/10.3389/fcell.…

Thoroughly enjoyed #EvoDevo2022! Was worth the long trip from Australia to meet such great people and see Developmental Biology in its purest form! 👏👏

Now the dust has settled from the incredible #EvoDevo2022, were looking for talented PhD students and postdocs in Stem Cell biology, Embryology, Reproduction and/or Marsupial and thylacine 🦘🐅EvoDevo. tigrrlab.science.unimelb.edu.au Details on the lab website ☝️ Get in touch!

Super excited to embark on this new journey with @itiscolossal. With this commitment we have the best chances of making what was once science fiction, science FACT Andrew Pask @federallamm

Should we bring back the thylacine? theconversation.com/should-we-brin… A refreshing, nuanced, and diverse overview of this ambitious and highly-controversial project, thank you, Signe Dean. Opinions from Dr Axel Newton @conservbytes Julian J Koplin Dr Parwinder Kaur & me.

🚨🚨🐤🥚 We use single cell transcriptomics to define the cell fate choices during early limb development. We find that ectodermal BMP signalling is necessary for formation of the forelimbs! Craig Smith Sarah Williams Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…

Incredible work!

In honour of 🎃 Halloween we've dropped Nice Genes! a day early with stories about: Bringing an extinct species, the Thylacine, back from the dead with Dr Axel Newton Conserving the Tasmanian Devil in the face of a contagious cancer with Prof Carolyn Hogg Link link.chtbl.com/9Q6T1Qi5

Our paper on the embryology of the dunnart is now up! Stunning images of these amazing little animals, helping marsupial conservation efforts!! doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7… Dr Axel Newton @itiscolossal BioSciences UniMelb Jennifer Hutchison
