First day as a #newPI at UCL Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology. Does this mean I am a grown up now?

We're delighted to announce our 2023 Outstanding Paper Prize award, recognising some of the most exciting contributions to the journal. This year, we selected two winners and a runner-up - find out more in the thread below or in our latest editorial: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

I'm looking forward to speaking at The University of Chicago today

But not sure how I feel about only giving one talk, not the three Denis Duboule is giving next week 😉

The last talk of the morning session is by Tiago Rito from the James Briscoe group in The Crick presenting WNT, NODAL and YAP signalling in the human notochord.

Beautiful work from Raju & Siggia constructing a quantitative Waddington-like landscape of epiblast & primitive endoderm differentiation from inner cell mass

My bet is that we'll see heteroclinic flips in many developmental cell fate decisions

Short review about developmental timing. Check out Chiara Azzi’s figure including recently proposed/shown mechanisms.

Impossible to synthesize what happened for the 1st Solvay conf on biology🤩. We followed the long term vision of its founder. We had a huge fun meeting/discussing such a central problem in biology. We will now work hard on proceedings. A huge thanks to all amazing participants 🙏🏼

Our latest from James Briscoe lab: How temporal & spatial pattering cues are integrated in the vertebrate neural tube to organise cell type generation during development.

So happy to have contributed to this amazing and very important work.
Read the thread to know how we discovered how spatial and temporal patterning are integrated in the developing neural tube!

Would you like to organise your dream scientific workshop in a beautiful country house retreat, where someone else takes care of all the logistics? The Company of Biologists is inviting applications for our 2026 Workshops programme: biologists.com/workshops/prop…

Really excited to head to Brussels for 1st Solvay Conference on Biology, co-chaired with James Briscoe, Frank Jülicher, Ed Munro, PrakashLab & Aleks Walczak. 23 wonderful colleagues will join to discuss and delve into the central pb of information processing & computation.

For those at #BSDBGenSoc2024 don't miss Joaquina Delas poster P38 today at 12:00-14:00

Our journal Development has published many special issues over the past few years, including topics like #metabolism , #imaging , #stemcells and #regeneration . If you’re interested in any of these issues, visit our stand at the British Society for Developmental Biology The Genetics Society meeting and pick up a free copy.

We are equally delighted to announce that the 2024 Wolpert Medal winner is Sally Lowell!

Congratulations J.P. Vincent Lab @jpvincentlab.bsky.social. Hugely well deserved

And massive congratulations to J.P. Vincent Lab @jpvincentlab.bsky.social - this year’s Waddington Medal winner, currently taking us on an entertaining journey from his scientific beginnings as an engineer researching solar cells to his obsession with the signalling range of Wingless.

Development's ‘Transitions in development‘ interviews feature new #DevBio PIs discussing the challenges and highlights of being a #newPI . This'll hopefully encourage future PIs and stimulate discussion around the career path of a developmental biologist:
