It was an honor to participate in this collective effort as a newcomer to #DevBio. Thanks @RogersLabUCD and @bradylabs for bringing together a wonderful community of supportive scientists.
Please check out our recent perspective paper, “Pluripotency of a founding field: rebranding developmental biology.” A huge thanks to the 50 scientists who traveled to California to discuss the future of #DevBio and who contributed to this paper! 1/
