Very sad news, John Gurdon has died.
A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner
His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio.
An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers

Ireland launches global talent fund! www.researchireland.ie/funding/glob...
If you're a neuroscience professor (assistant/associate/full) and would consider relocating to the vibrant and booming city of Dublin, please get in touch!
We have a job opening for postdoc with expertise in bioinformatics and a strong interest in regeneration. We work on (successful) spinal cord regeneration in the zebrafish. Get in touch if that’s something that would interest you!

Our work on lineage tracing with somatic epimutations is finally out in @nature.com!
Check out the thread by @larsplus.bsky.social below.
EPI-clone is a revolutionary technique for lineage tracing and it will immediately impact how we trace clones everywhere.
Detailed protocols coming out soon!
I'm still processing all the amazing interactions and possibilities this meeting brought. Different fields and expertise converging in a common interest: brain evolution. It was fantastic. Thanks to the organizers @borrell-lab.bsky.social @k4tj4.bsky.social ( Nerea Moreno, Fernando and Zoltan)

With all the chaos and destruction of academic research going on in the US right now, it feels a little weird to post this. But....

One of the reasons I love #DevelopmentalBiology is that it's so visually engaging. I had the pleasure of organising an image competition at the GRC last March, and share this passion. You can now check out these images on @the-node.bsky.social: thenode.biologists.com/grs-developm...

We recently wrote a review about neuroimmune interactions in retinal repair. We dive into the literature regarding immune influences in Muller glia reprogramming, cell transplantation, and axon regeneration. Hopefully its useful, free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1k-FL4pAsj...

My buddy @karenecheverri.bsky.social just published her latest (with a minor assist from yours truly) on how tail regeneration in #axolotls relies on brain activity. Specifically neurons in the telencephalon that project to the hypothalamus. #regeneration #cutemascot www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Interested in learning more about chondrichthyan research, management advances, and explore new opportunities for collaboration? Join us at the world’s largest shark, ray, and chimaera conference from 4-8 May 2026 in Colombo, Sri Lanka!
Our proposal for a ‘universal’ nomenclature for rod and cone types based on their evolutionary lineages that will equally apply to all vertebrate species is now out! Have a look and please consider adopting the system :)

Modern sharks as our best mirror to our jawed common ancestor – @idoiaeu.bsky.social talks about the catshark embryo as a model to study the origin and evolution of the vertebrate telencephalon at #ECCN2025
@borrell-lab.bsky.social @r3rt0.bsky.social @zoltan-molnar.bsky.social
Two days to speak at this interesting conference. Looking forward to exchange and keep learning about brain evolution. And share what sharks are teaching us! 🦈 🧠

Why does the forebrain expand dramatically while other neural regions grow less? Our new publication reveals progenitor metabolism critically shapes region-specific brain growth. Thread below. authors.elsevier.com/a/1k-udL7PXu...
