That's a wrap! A HUGE thanks to @sarur @jamesbriscoe, Anne Grapin-Boton, Ashley Libby & Kalki Kukreja for organising such a great #GRCdevbio23 meeting that really celebrates all #devbio has to offer - looking forward to 2025.

Enjoy the last evening & safe travels, all!

/eve-out

Last, but by no means least, at #GRCdevbio23 is @Honghao_Song from @redmakeda's lab at @Harvard

Together, the Extavour lab investigates the evolution of the reproductive system.

@redmakeda is also a @Dev_journal Editor and Chair of our next #DevPres webinar on 2 August.

Take a look at the #DevPres programme of speakers on @the_node
https://thenode.biologists.com/devpres/

We're already at the penultimate talk at #GRCdevbio23, hearing from @MLAgerholm_ from the @LabBrickman at @reNEW_Global.

Collectively, the Brickman lab aims to elucidate transcriptional mechanisms of lineage specification in the early embryo.

#GRCdevbio23: Now, @YanivElkouby (@HebrewU)! The Elkouby group studies the cell and developmental biology of early oogenesis in zebrafish.

See their recently accepted @Dev_journal Techniques & Resources article:

Next up at #GRCdevbio23, @omriwu (@TelAvivUni) discusses regeneration.

Omri's lab uses Planarians & Ascidians as models for studying the role of stem cells in regenerative processes.

Learn more about Planarians in this @Dev_journal Primer from @rinklab

A [completely normal] final session now at #GRCdevbio23 on transgenerational inheritance, starting with Shosei Yoshida (National Institute of Basic Biological Sciences, Japan).

Shosei's lab works on mammalian spermatogenesis!

#GRCdevbio23: @Wilcocksonscott from the Hill lab at @thecrick discusses the role of signalling in mesendoderm.

The Hill lab is broadly interested in TGFβ signalling, and you can see the pathway at a glance in this @Dev_journal poster from Anming Meng

Thanks to @rohanbme (@DukeU) from the @MusahLab for their #GRCdevbio23 talk.

If you're interested in learning more about the Musah Lab's technology, check out their @Dev_journal Primer:

Now up at #GRCdevbio23 is @snaqvi1990 from the Wysocka and @jkpritch labs at @Stanford.

Sahin is interested in the impact of transcription factor levels on function and disease phenotypes.

At #GRCdevbio23, Anwesha Day (@genentech) introduces the Hippo pathway in cancer.

See the Hippo pathway at a glance in this @Dev_journal poster from @taponlab
https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.167106

Concluding the #GRCdevbio23 session on tissue mechanics and morphogenesis is @carldmodes (@mpicbg).

The Modes group is broadly interested in the interplay of geometry and topology in development.

Next up at #GRCdevbio23 is Miltos Tsiantis (@mpipz_cologne).

Miltos seeks to answer how the diversity of biological forms arise using plant leaves as a model system.

#GRCdevbio23: Some great quantitative biology from Fridtjof Brauns & Nikolas Claussen of the Shraiman & @StreichanS (@ucsantabarbara).

The Streichan lab applies approaches from physics, computer science and mathematics to #devbio.

See the #preprint:
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.30.542935v1

Jeremy Green's 'Development at a Glance' article in @Dev_journal might also be of interest #GRCdevbio23

Resolving morphogenesis into quantifiable cell behaviours
https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.199794

#GRCdevbio23: Now a session on mechanics and morphogenesis, beginning with a talk from @CKirchhelle (@RDPlab).

Charlotte studies how the plant cell wall contributes to the production of robust organ shapes.

Concluding the morning at #GRCdevbio23 is Kathy Cheah (@HKUniversity) who's interested in intervertebral discs.

More on Hydra regeneration from @Juliano_Lab (@ucdavis)! #GRCdevbio23

I spoke to Celina for @Dev_journal when she received the 2020 Elizabeth D. Hay New Investigator award from
@SocDevBio
https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.195636

A very interesting talk by @AlexandruBacan2 (@HSCRB) from Sharad Ramanathan's group on human-specific development. #GRCdevbio23

Finally, Lydia Djenoune from the @shiaulou lab at Mass General Hospital) concludes this #GRCdevbio23 session.

Lydia and Shiaulou were at the @Co_Biologists workshop organised by @DanTGrimes and @gonca_erdemci last year.

If you're interested in organising your own workshop - the deadline is on Friday!

Cool movies from @FethullahSimsek of the @OzbudakLab (@CincyChildrens), interested in understanding how biological signals are temporally encoded and interpreted. #GRCdevbio23

#GRCdevbio23: useful imaging from @drsusanna1 (@DukeU) of the @ditalialab, who collectively aim to quantitatively understand timing during development.
