"Our gender-related findings suggest that current diversity policies promoting female–female mentorships, as well-intended as they may be, could hinder the careers of women who remain in academia in unexpected ways." Just ugh... 4/

All of this is to say that In no way is the analysis equal to the prescriptive weight the authors give it: 3/

I am not an expert in this kind of analysis, but I feel that co-authorship is not a good proxy for mentorship and that seeing a correlation and implying directional causation is not very rigorous, especially given the systematic minimization of women and minorities 2/

Thanks to John, Sally, Seema, Alex, and the rest of the great folks at Development for putting together this fantastic webinar! I especially enjoyed the roundtable discussion after the talks, so thanks also to everyone that stopped by to chat
Yesterday we held the second webinar in our #DevPres series. This thread highlights the talks their associated papers. The recordings & their following Q&As (moderated by @jbwallingford) are now all available to watch on the Node: https://t.co/35SiD6HNkM 1/8

Our work looking at how Hedgehog signalling regulates spatial cell remodeling during cranial neural tube closure is out now @eLife! https://t.co/Zc74a9Evmk

Closure of the cranial neural tube, which is essential for mammalian development, is driven by spatially and temporally patterned cell remodeling events that require positionally regulated Sonic...

Really excited to be a part of this great webinar!
We've just confirmed the 3rd speaker at our #DevPres webinar next week: Kyle Drake (PhD with @KanadiaLab @UConn) will join @goodfrognosis (@gastrulateordie lab @UCBerkeley & @tomorrow_bot (Zallen Lab @sloan_kettering) More info & registration: https://t.co/lfQDoMZwU4

Very cool work exploring FGF transduction live (!) in time, space, and by lineage during early mouse development
Excited to share our work that was published this week in @Dev_Cell Live Visualization of ERK Activity in the Mouse Blastocyst Reveals Lineage-Specific Signaling Dynamics https://t.co/nXwvAoqBku

Excited to share our new preprint! Sonic hedgehog acts as a positional cue to encode differential cell remodeling in the cranial neural plate. Dysregulation of this spatial program results in a failure to appropriately close the developing brain
