āOur atoms are no different to those in rocks and air, and yet here we are, a little knot of atoms that can walk around the planet and think about itself and others.ā. This is a wonderful piece of writing by @philipcball in @NautilusMag.
"To be a part of the universe that gets to spin for a time, and to create a unique pocket of meaning: That is indeed something to be grateful for. ". Just as @philipcball uncovered a new way to understand life, he received some news about his own: .

#DevMeeting23 was so much fun and chalk-full of data and opinions! Now, after a month of letting all that information percolate, Iāve settled on 3 main takeaways. But really it could be summed up in these opening remarks: āWe really need to expand our repertoire.ā.
Developmental biologists tackle biodiversity, peer review, climate change in annual @Dev_journal meeting. Read this report from @_brentmfoster about #DevMeeting23 on 'Unconventional and Emerging Experimental Organisms in Cell and Developmental Biology':.

Our little starlet sea #anemone has a few tricks up its tentacles. This is a pretty cool spotlight on a pretty wild project. Thanks @ScienceMagazine and @NerdyChristie for sharing our work @Whitney_Lab.
So excited to be on the @ScienceMagazine news!!. Thank you @NerdyChristie for writing about our work on using a sea #anemone as a model to interrogate the cellular mechanisms of #biomineralization šŖø.@_brentmfoster .
