Congratulations to @mayor_lab on this well-deserved award! He gave a wonderful talk and I spotted some Vegas themes represented in his talk too! Placodes and fireballs!🤩

Thank you to the Society for Developmental Biology @SocDevBio ; it was a tremendous honour to receive the Viktor Hamburger Outstanding Education Award. Special thanks to @rrbehringer and all the organisers of the SDB meeting in Las Vegas for such a truly remarkable meeting.

Pleased to announce a new NXR website
xenopusnxr.org
The NXR is creating stronger ties with @Xenbase and we hope the improved website is easier for researchers to use. Thank you to @NIH_ORIP for making this possible.

I explained the dangers of the recent politicization of grant reviews at NIH for The Hill, and also that while diversity otherwise remains a bad word, geographic diversity is somehow laudable.

Power of frogs! 🐸💪✨
Van Itallie et al. present a deep analysis of changes of ∼15,000 proteins and ∼11,500 phospho-sites at 11 developmental time points in Xenopus laevis embryos. Published in Developmental Biology. xenbase.org/xenbase/doNewsRe… #science #devbio #xenopus #frogs

It is absolutely crazy to think we no longer need model organism research.

Please watch video and post a comment in support of use of animal models. They are seeking our input and if we don’t provide it then they will simply say well we didn’t hear anything

Having fun CRISPRing frog embryos as part of Dev Bio Week in the @MDA_UTHGrad Core Course!
It’s Developmental Biology week in @MDA_UTHGrad 1st yr student Core Course. 11 modules w/4-6 students hands on learning experiences w/model organisms. @SocDevBio @intlsocdiff @MBLScience @CSHL 🐸🦎🪰🐁〰️🦓🐟

"If developmental biology is universal, then of course I had to wonder-where is the non-European devbio history? It had to be there! So, I just went looking. And I found some."
