The 2025-2026 season of the Ethel Browne Harvey Postdoc Seminar kicks off Friday, September 12 at 3 pm Eastern Time with Sarah Colijn @ColijnSarah @WashU and Shyama Nandakumar @shyama13. @PittTweet. Register today and join us. #SDBPostdocSeminar

SDB Past President Carole LaBonne's latest op-ed in STAT 'U.S. science and universities are becoming political hostages in the Orbánization of knowledge' highlights how "the fight for science and universities is, at its core, a fight for democracy itself."

Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum)🦎 can regrow limbs, tail, spinal cord, heart, and even parts of its brain. Axolotls are champions of regeneration and also shed light on limb patterning, wound healing, and developmental plasticity. Image from Prayag Murawala #ModelMonday #DevBio

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has proposed changes to limit student & exchange visitor visas to 4 years. These changes would affect undergrads, grad students & postdocs from outside the U.S. DHS is accepting comments through September 29.
