Congrats to Nida ul Fatima Baris Tursun MDC-BIMSB and Victoria Castiglioni Mike Boxem for the best short talk prize, sponsored by SunyBiotech🐛. Runner-up: Florence Drury Barkoulas Lab. Thanks to all the speakers for their excellent presentations.

Happy to announce our eLife - the journal publication on the roles of the PAR-6 and PKC-3 polarity proteins in larval development of C. elegans doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…. Thanks Victoria, Helena, Rodrigo, Amalia Riga and Jana for all the hard work!

Thanks to recent funding from the Dutch Research Council and Utrecht University, two PhD positions are now available in my group. Visit our lab website (web.science.uu.nl/developmentalb…) or the UU careers site (uu.nl/science/careers) for details and to apply!

A PhD position is available in my group. If you know a recent or soon to graduate MSc student who would like to study cell polarity in C. elegans, send them my way! web.science.uu.nl/developmentalb… The position is part of the Marie Curie doctoral network surfex-project.eu.
