That’s a wrap for #JCSimaging, organised by Francesca Bottanelli @Fran_Bottanelli, Guillaume Jacquemet, Giulia Zanetti and Michael Way. Thanks to everyone who joined us and made the conference such a wonderful community event. journals.biologists.com/jcs

Don't miss today's early-bird registration deadline for @SEBiology. We and our colleagues from @J_Exp_Biol look forward to seeing you in Florence in July.

Don't miss the 15 May deadline to apply for a grant from @Co_Biologists Fund for Innovations in Sustainable Conferencing. The grant supports ideas that enable biologists to collaborate productively while minimising their impact on the environment. biologists.com/sustainability…

Did you know that Development publishes Research Reports? These short articles emphasise an important finding, laying the groundwork for future research. Browse a selection of our latest, free-to-read Research Report highlights in our subject collection journals.biologists.com/dev/collection…

@CSRBiotech @PPBioImaging Thank you for joining us and being part of the meeting. Hope to see you again!

That's a wrap on JCS2026: Imaging Cell Dynamics 🔬A huge thank you to organizer @Co_Biologists and everyone stopped by! Next stop: ELMI2026 organized by @PPBioImaging 📍 Coimbra, Portugal 📅 16–19 June 2026 📍 Booth #2 📍 Workshop Room 1.5B #JCS2026 #ELMI2026 #CellBiology

At @focalplane_jcs the focus is on imaging & storytelling. ‘Featured images’ invites contributors to unpack the story behind an image. ‘Imaging Spotlights’ take readers deeper to explain how methods, biological questions & problem-solving intersect. focalplane.biologists.com

@preLights captures science in motion. In ‘spotLights’ and ‘preprints by preLighters’, ECRs highlight new preprints & place them in a broader narrative, making cutting-edge research accessible, often with input from preprint authors. prelights.biologists.com

Science is a story – join the communities that tell it. Every experiment has a backstory. Every figure, failure and breakthrough is shaped by people, choices and chance. Science is rich with narratives waiting to be uncovered.

@Co_Biologists' Sustainability Conferencing Officer Teo shares insights on 'Innovative ideas for the future of sustainable events', a competition which reveals a global perspective on how to redesign academic events to minimise their environmental impact. doi.org/10.1242/bio.06…

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and as a proud partner of the @WoodlandTrust, we’re encouraging everyone to take a moment for their wellbeing by getting out in nature. Use the Woodland Wellbeing checklist as your guide to step outside and boost your mental health this week.

From one centenarian to another: we wish Sir David Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday and thank him for all he has done to aid people's understanding of and - even more importantly - appreciation for the natural world.

Getting involved as an organiser of one of our Workshops is easy. We focus on the logistics, so you can focus solely on the science. Watch this video to hear from some of our previous organisers. The call for proposals for 2028 programme runs until 29 May youtu.be/eShrxWQbx3Q

Additionally, we are again look for proposals for the Global South. These proposals will differ from the standard Workshop programme as we will look to bring the event to your region. Find out more at #global_south" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">biologists.com/workshops/prop…

Do you have a vision for a Workshop but don’t have the time to arrange the logistics or raise the funding? We'll provide all necessary support. Submit your idea to us in our annual call for topics. Deadline to submit your idea is 29 May. biologists.com/workshops/prop…
