Huge congrats to Dan Dickinson for winning the ⁦@SocDevBio⁩ Betty Hay Award at #2024SDB! ⁦@ut_mbs⁩

Step aside muscle, our new work shows that kidney and intestine tissue can also change shape and function when electrically stimulated (movie)! We call this ‘electroinflation’! Long overdue hurrah for @GawoonS* /IsaacBreinyn*, @almcalvo, Sameeksha. https://t.co/JUlREYfUlK

The video below reminded me that animals (including us, humans) are not the only ones with fascinating developmental histories. Plants too have their own, unique suite of shape-shifting, cell bending peculiarities. A major difference in the way animals and plants build (1/6)

The first preprint from my lab!

It was long believed zfish neural tube develops differently than in other vertebrates but we show that fold-and-fuse neurulation is conserved in zfish! And that NT closure is disrupted by loss of NTD risk gene vangl2. Congrats first author Jacie!

This was a huge heavy lift by Elle and her army of four @TexasScience undergrads and a high school student! If you wanna do awesome science with an awesome mentor, check out the new Roberson Lab @CUAnschutz!

Super stoked for this new paper with @elle_roberson showing that all components of the HH signaling pathway are transcriptionally co-regulated across the mouse estrous cycle, and even cooler: HH is essential for iterative remodeling of the cycling uterus. https://t.co/PcRhAenwrT

Thrilled to share our work profiling Ale yeast protein dynamics across fermentation and serial repitching! https://t.co/Lu2CL80Lxd @DunhamLab @edward_marcotte @LiveOakBrewing #BeerYeast #SystemsBiology #Proteomics Sneek Peak thread🧵 below

Randomly dispersed magnetic particles in a rotating magnetic field automatically form a zigzag pattern, a phenomenon that arises from fluid-based interactions between the particles. Story by @dehrenstein. https://t.co/XwjyldN4Wz

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Look at that beautiful neural tube closing 😍. Imaged by the very talented @wang_jianxiong. #DevBio is alive and well @IMBatUQ.

So stoked to see several successive generations of researchers in Patterson Laboratories @TexasScience at the @SocDevBio Annual Meeting. Hook ‘Em! 🤘 @UTexasILS @ut_mbs

@vazquezn14, @hej_cell "so happy to be here!!" @SocDevBio #2023SDB

[Chia-Teng Chang @ChiaTengChang]

Hello #2023SDB participants 👋
How do cells know where they are during extensive morphogenesis 🧭?
Please visit my poster #561 (B125) this Saturday 2:00-4:30pm to discuss how migrating cells interpret the morphogen gradient!

[John Wallingford @jbwallingford]

So glad to see so many people at the #2023SDB discussion of ethical issues surrounding rapid advances in human embryo research. It’s terribly important and all developmental biologists should be paying close attention. ⁦@SocDevBio⁩

[Shinuo Weng @ShinuoWeng]

I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that I'll be joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering @HopkinsEngineer as an Assistant Professor next Jan 2024! Grateful for the incredible support and encouragement from y’all! Excited to embark on this new chapter!!!😎🐸💪

‼️Have you ever wondered how your lungs get from baby size to adult size? Do you like learning about how planar cell polarity proteins function in weird ways in mammals? Are you a mesenchyme aficionado? ‼️ Well, do I have the preprint for you!!! A 🧵https://t.co/NKDsc9sJDU
