Congrats to the fantastic @maheandria.bsky.social on this well deserved recognition from French Academy of Science

This journey began in Berlin with @bassemh.bsky.social and Robin Hiesinger, and continued at @institutducerveau.bsky.social in @hassanbraindevlab.bsky.social , with the generous support of @frm-officiel.bsky.social . Grateful to the von Kleist & Stoeckli Labs and all co-authors!

Hot off the press:
The excellent Maheva Andriatsilavo and colleagues show how a temporal sequence of stochastic molecular mechanisms allow the emergence of stereotyped individualised neuronal circuits. Just published in Nature Neuroscience:

Can't miss opportunity for anyone interested in developmental timing!! See you in Paris⏳️

Developmental timing across species: From mechanisms to evolutionary insights Like choreography, development consists of a highly ordered suite of steps and transitions. Modifying developmental tempo can affect final size and composition of tissues, as well as their plasticity…

Join us in Paris 6-9 May 2025 for the #EvoDevoTempo conference (2nd edition) with a fantastic line up of speakers confirmed!!

Organized by @mdiazcuadros.bsky.social
