Float Session Gift Cards Are A Sure Win For Anyone Plenty of time to send friends and loved ones the most transformational holiday gift experience with a float session gift card. An offering sure to melt away the stress/anxiety of even the most frigid and tough to please ⛄ -->

Robyn Allen @universityofky will round out the #SDBPostdocSeminar with her talk "Fibroblasts from highly regenerative mammals resist mechanical cues to drive regeneration" Image: Primary fibroblasts from Acomys and Mus vary in proliferation and myofibroblast transformation

.@WeiyiQianNYUSoM of @nuylangone will kick off the #SDBPostdocSeminar with his talk "Tug of war — Tissue splitting driven by cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesions" Image: A zebrafish posterior lateral line primordium is depositing a sensory organ at its rear (left)

The next the Ethel Browne Harvey Postdoc Seminar will be this Friday, December 12 at 3 pm Eastern Time with Weiyi Qian @WeiyiQianNYUSoM @nuylangone and Robyn Allen @universityofky. Register today and join us. https://t.co/UKpH2ldgt3 #SDBPostdocSeminar

Dear Customer, we regret to inform you that delivery of the “AI Data Center” Girder & Panel Building Set you ordered has been delayed. In the meantime, perhaps the aspiring industrial engineer on your gift list would enjoy our classic “Hydro Dynamic Building Set” instead. With

🎄 Day 11 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🪸 Retinoic acid (RA) signalling is important in early heart development🫀🐟 The authors showed that inhibiting RA in embryos results in smaller ventricles, reduced smooth muscle and abnormal ventral aorta! https://t.co/SxPh0i3K5R

🎄 Day 10 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🪸 In developing zebrafish, the growth factors Mdka and Mdkb, act through the receptor Ptprz1b 🐟 This study reveals a novel mechanism where this trio coordinates neural plate circuit development 🧠🔬 https://t.co/CzSq1hDyEO

🎄 Day 9 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🪸 In Drosophila Robo3 guides axons independently of the canonical repellent, Slit. The authors' findings challenge current models moving the field deeper into understanding the nervous system development!  🪰🌟 https://t.co/IcXtZbyaWN

🎄 Day 8 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🐟 The lower urinary tract may look simple… but its development is basically a molecular turf war between the bladder and the urethra 🧬💥 https://t.co/SbMjpy4KFF

With the FDA approval of @Path_AI for clinical biopsies, @AltimmuneInc’s Pemvidutide is now the best in class molecule in the MASH space by a mile and reached statistical significance on both trial endpoints at only 24 weeks.

🎄 Day 7 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🐟 Bone development usually follows a nice, orderly schedule… unless someone hits the fast-forward button. 🦴⏩ The result? Premature ossification, chunky bones and shortened skeletal elements 💀✨ https://t.co/qE5TQSnrVa

🎄 Day 6 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🐟 Intestinal villi don’t just grow, they engineer themselves 🏗️ through a careful balance of mechanical forces and tissue interactions ☯️ When that balance is off… things get interesting🔬🌟 https://t.co/cyR0vG7XB9

📣 Applications Open! SDB is seeking applicants for the 2026 GetHIRED! Internship, a unique chance to gain hands-on experience supporting an e-course for postdocs entering the academic job market. 📆 Deadline: December 15, 2025. Learn more & apply today: https://t.co/MPqZGz9ZkN

🎄 Day 5 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🐟 Using automated non-invasive Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging to track real-time heart rate, blood flow, and vasculature through the eggshell🐣 No windowing, no disturbance, just pure speckle magic🔬✨ https://t.co/bo6MODq9M8

🎄 Day 4 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🧬 In 1984, Drosophila homeotic genes were found to be conserved across animals, including humans 🧬🐸. This article highlights a shared genetic toolkit for embryonic development 🔬🌟🎁  https://t.co/Fjav2v2IxL

🎄 Day 3 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🧬 The yolk sac, the oldest extra-embryonic membrane, plays a key role in early nutrient transfer 💛🎁. Mouse yolk sac organoids reveal its function as a choriovitelline placenta and maternal-fetal exchange hub 🌟  https://t.co/pUKKqfgEqr

The November 14 #SDBPostdocSeminar with @_olya_y of @RockefellerUniv and Anthony Galenza of @Stanford has been posted. Thank you to moderators @austinseroka1 and Heather Dingwall. Watch here:

🎄 Day 2 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🧬 This study uncovers a key role for foxl2l in zebrafish sex differentiation. 🐟 Loss of foxl2l blocks meiosis, causes germ cells to accumulate, and results in complete female-to-male sex reversal. ❄️🔍🌟 https://t.co/DsQE2JNsaS

Grad students & postdocs, it's time to start thinking about applying to the world famous 'Woods Hole' Embryology course @MBLScience It is a transformative experience. Scholarships available. App Deadline Feb 3, 2026. @SocDevBio

🎄 Day 1 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🧬 This study shows how different fixation methods (PFA vs. TCA) change what researchers can visualize in chicken embryos using HCR or IHC. 🔍🐣🔬 https://t.co/K6vWv40nvX
