LatinxDB - Interviews “The only limit is your imagination”-Dr. Rosa Navarro.

We’re launching our Latinx DevBio interview series 🌎🧬

Our first inspiring conversation features Dr. Rosa Navarro: Leading Developmental Biology research in Mexico.

Thanks, Dr. Navarro, for sharing your journey and insights with us! #LatinxInScience

Happy to be part of this mission 🌎🧬🐸🔬#LatinxDB

🐸 Xenopus laevis 💚 The frog that shaped modern developmental biology! ✨ Xenopus embryos have revealed how the body axis forms, cells choose their fate, and tissues self-organize during early development 📹 Video by Bioquest Sudio and Xenbase #ModelMonday #DevBio

🚨Join us today!

We are looking forward to seeing you there! 🌎

“A Model Meeting” by Karla Akari Garcia
Inspired by The Quaker Meeting, this watercolor honors animal research models, from mouse to axolotl, that have advanced developmental biology 🎨 A tribute to science’s often unsung heroes. #DevBioArt

💭Transitioning to independence isn’t only a Latinx concern!

One key takeaway from our workshop at ICDB in Puerto Rico: this is a shared challenge across the field. @socdevbio.bsky.social

Proud of the diversity — celebrating Latinx representation, gender balance, and early career voices in Dev Bio!

Our most recent study shows that stem cells in Schmidtea mediterranea do not rely on physical contacts or fixed structures to maintain their identity and regenerative potential.
