Congratulations to @DanEngelman for winning the Paolo Bianco Poster prize at #SCSS2024, and to @mirjam_binner for coming a close second. Thanks to all delegates for making our evening beach-side poster sessions so enjoyable and informative.
I also had the pleasure of receiving the Paolo Bianco Prize for best poster. Thanks to @kim_bak_jensen ,@_CellySally_ and Austin Smith for the organisation and @CedricBlanpain for the opportunity and support!

We've had lots of the PhD students and postdocs at #SCSS2024 asking us how they can get experience of science writing and exposure and recognition for their writing efforts. Luckily, there's @preLights

preLights, The Company of Biologists’ preprint highlighting service, has been up and running for over five years now. During that time, we have had over 1,600 preLights posts published on our...

On the first evening of #SCSS2024 we enjoyed a lively discussion, trying to find out if could all agree on the defining features of a stem cell Now @kim_bak_jensen turns our brains inside out by presenting beautiful data that makes us question the very concept of a stem cell

Fundamental concepts illuminated by beautiful data Sara Wickstrom @WickstromLab encourages us to think about how cells coordinate information across scales to generate and maintain the epidermis. She inspires much lively discussion throughout her talk #SCSS2024

Shahragim Tajbakhsh @LabTajbakhsh challenges us with some fundamental (and mindbending) concepts. He shows us beautiful live imaging of muscle stem cells in vivo, revealing the behaviours of these remarkable cells in homeostasis, disease and ageing #SCSS2024

Delegates and faculty discussing stem cell potency, fate, and plasticity over lunch. In the interests of exploring the influence of local microenvironment, we will later go for a swim in the sea. #SCSS2024

Now @kim_bak_jensen introduces another paradigm stem cell system: the intestine, which Kim claims is the most beautiful part of the body*. He treats us to a masterclass in how to design a good experiment and how to critically analyse data. #SCSS2024 *citation needed

And now Austin Smith takes us back to the very beginning with his lecture on pluripotency as a paradigm system. It is illuminating to hear about the latest advances placed within the broader context of the history of this fascinating field #SCSS2024

An inspiring start to #SCSS2024. @Kirkeby_Lab updates us on ongoing cell therapies for Parkinson's disease. She takes us on the journey from fundamental experiments to understand cell fate decisions through to the impressive clinical work that is already benefiting patients
