🎄 Day 1 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🧬 This study shows how different fixation methods (PFA vs. TCA) change what researchers can visualize in chicken embryos using HCR or IHC. 🔍🐣🔬 doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbi…

Anthony A. Hyman will become EMBL’s next Director General. He joins EMBL from MPI-CBG in Dresden. He is also Professor of Molecular Biology at Technische Universität Dresden, and was a group leader at EMBL Heidelberg from 1993 to 1999. embl.org/news/people-pe…

Only a few days left for abstract submission at the brand new EMBO|EMBL Symposium Collectivity in living systems: emergence, function and evolution. We have stellar speakers in cell, animal collectives & beyond @priscaliberali @icouzin @ricard_sole embl.org/about/info/cou…

Diatoms – microscopic algae found almost everywhere there’s water – make up ~25% of Earth’s annual oxygen production. EMBL scientists have found a way to reveal their inner structures by combining cryo-fixation with ultrastructural expansion microscopy. cell.com/current-biolog…

Wonderful visit to @embl Heidelberg! Grateful to Alexandre Aulehla and @AissamIkmi for the invitation and to all the group leaders, post-docs and students for the stimulating discussions. Amazing science and a great community! #EMBL #ScienceTalk #DevelopmentalBiology

Had the pleasure of working with @Dardiry_mo to rethink what it means to develop for life. Many thanks to @Dev_journal! @embl #LifelongDevSI

Don't miss out!! Few more weeks till the deadline! embl.org/about/info/cou…

Super excited to share our latest study on Bacillus subtilis in defense mode against protistan predation! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Ever wondered how metabolism regulates embryonic development? Our recent work demonstrates that metabolism has a signaling module controlling the tempo of embryonic axis segmentation. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Please join the fantastic line-up of speakers in exploring life's collectives: @icouzin, @ricard_sole, @priscaliberali, @wc_ratcliff, @SSerenaDing, @MonteiroLab, @jaschwartzman, @Daniel_R_Amor, @Pawel_Burkhardt, @oleg_igoshin

We are searching for an enthusiastic scientist to join our team and establish annual killifish as a model system for early developmental biology and biophysics! @embl Apply here: embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/EMBL/job/Hei... Please re-post 🙏

Applications are now open for the 2026 SDB Science Communication Internship. Graduate student and postdoc members of the Society for Developmental Biology are eligible to apply. Deadline: August 15. Learn more: sdbonline.org/science_commun…

That's a wrap for #EMBLDevBio! 🧫🧬 Over the last eight days, our participants were introduced to the theoretical knowledge of biological transitions and got hands-on training using state-of-the-art methods applied in-depth in different model systems. Thank you to everyone who made this course one to remember, especially our participants, speakers, trainers, and organisers! 👏 🔷 Scientific organisers: Karen Alim, TU Munich, Germany James Briscoe, The Francis Crick Institute, UK Nicoletta Petridou, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Jordi van Gestel, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Hanh Vu, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany 🔷 Course organisers: Luana Ribeiro, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Swetlana Krez, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Alessandra Reversi, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Matt Benton, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Giorgia Carta, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany

Time for data analysis practicals here at #EMBLDevBio! 💻

Are you a student or postdoc working on theory for biological problems? Just over two weeks left to apply for our fall workshop here at @HHMIJanelia. It’s free and we cover travel expenses! janelia.org/you-janelia/co…
