Cleavage, 2-8 cell monkey embryo. Warren H. Lewis ; Carl G. Hartman https://t.co/VTskFLeiBB via @YouTube
This is 1930's! How did they get a 2-cell monkey embryo? This was before mammalian preimplantation embryo culture conditions were established. 30 hr time lapse. @SocDevBio

I explained in The Hill just how essential it is for congress to block OMB’s sweeping rewrite of federal grant rules. Please flag for your representatives and insist they block these rule changes that would devastate the US scientific research enterprise

🚨 IT’S FINALLY HERE #2026SDB starts TODAY! 🧬🎰 The countdown is over, and it’s time for the developmental biology community to come together in Las Vegas! Get ready for exciting science, new ideas, and plenty of opportunities to connect. See you at #2026SDB! 🎉

[Society for Developmental Biology @SocDevBio]

🚨 1 DAY until #2026SDB! 🪰 That’s about how long it takes a Drosophila embryo to develop and hatch into a larva. A lot can happen in 24 hours, and tomorrow, the developmental biology community comes together in Las Vegas! 🧬🎰

[Society for Developmental Biology @SocDevBio]

🚨 2 DAYS until #2026SDB! 🐣
That’s about the time it takes a chick embryo to develop a beating heart. ❤️ Development never stops, and neither does our countdown! Pack your posters, questions, and best science. Las Vegas, here we come! 🎰🧬

[Society for Developmental Biology @SocDevBio]

🚨 3 DAYS until #2026SDB! 🐟
That’s about how long it takes a zebrafish to go from fertilization to hatching. That’s a lot of development, and we’re almost ready to hatch some exciting new ideas in Las Vegas! 🧬🎰 See you soon!
