We are excited to hear reports coming in of all your plans to organise “watch parties" for people who can't travel to one of the three #EDBC2023 hubs in person

https://thenode.biologists.com/get-the-edbc-watch-party-started/events/

We will award an emoji-based trophy for the #EDBCWatchParty most distant from our Oxford hub

Current front-runner is Alberto Rosello-Diez who hopes to organise an #EDBCWatchParty from the AMRI Melbourne! #WorldBeating

... but maybe YOU can do even better than his 10,539 miles? It ain’t over 'til it’s over…

@MAFesenko ooh, thanks for the tip! Luckily I'll be there in a couple of months for #edbc2023

Ever dreamed of winning a BSDB Waddington medal, Tickle medal, Beddington Medal, or Wolpert medal?

Submit an image for the #EDBC2023 virtual gallery and you could win all four in one!

Top entries will win one of these BEAUTIFUL laser-cut wooden coasters, designed by talented BSDB committee member Helen Weavers 😍

We welcome #DevBio scientific images, DevBio-inspired art, or any other type of art made by developmental biologists

More info coming soon on how you can submit your images.

Anyone remember the fabulous online art exhibition we set up for our 2021 spring meeting? We loved wandering around the virtual gallery and hope you did too

Exciting news! We plan a similar virtual exhibition for #EDBC2023 this Sept

The artists could include... YOU!

We'll soon issue a call for images of your science, or your science-inspired art, or perhaps something completely different - all forms of artistic output are welcome.

Watch this space for more info coming soon! #DevBio

Do let us know if you're planning an #EDBCWatchParty for the European Developmental Biology Congress this September

There MAY be a special (possibly emoji-based) trophy for the watch party at the greatest geographical distance from the Oxford hub. Edinburgh is leading so far 💪

"Party" is herby defined as a group of 3 or more vertebrates

Did we mention that we're making a movie?

And did you know that it features the very wonderful Prof Alice Roberts along with several also-very-wonderful developmental biologists and some extraordinary embryos
