Love morphogens? Love evolution? Looking for something to read on a rainy September day? Our review on developmental patterning and the role of morphogens in evolution is out. Great fun to work on this with Lewis Mosby and @amyebowen2

We are recruiting PhD students to join us @TheCrick and @ucl! Project is flexible with scope for exploration, if you think patterning mechanisms are cool and want to use maths, physics or computational methods to study biology get in touch. Please share! crick.ac.uk/careers-study/…

"I have spent most of the last decade working to confront #racism in universities." Ahead of A-level #resultsday, our new Policy & Research Officer, Qasim Alli, looks back at his experience of working in outreach + higher education. Read the new blog: actionforraceequality.org.uk/naming-racism-…

We’ve extended our deadline to Monday 10th June! This is a great opportunity to present your work and engage with exciting science in a friendly & welcoming environment over great coffee + food!

The Crick PhD Student Summer Symposium is happening on the 8th of July, 2024! Submissions are open until 7th of June (students from UCL, Imperial, King’s, Crick), attendance is free and there are prizes for best presenters and posters! Register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/crick-phd-st…

PhD student @danafd at our lab performs 3D multi-plex RNA-FISH using the HCR method to study patterning in the developing forebrain. This is a top view of the forebrain of an E12.5 mouse embryo showing the expression of Foxg1 (gray), Pax6 (red), Wnt8b (blue), and Shh (yellow).

Final countdown to the submission deadline for the Physics of Life 2023 Conference. Submit your abstract online at iop.eventsair.com/physics-of-life by 23 January. We have an incredible line up of keynote and invited speakers, and invite you to join them by submitting an abstract online!👇

I've been tweeting a bunch of articles and threads about the #gminus2 result -- a possible indication of ✨ NEW PHYSICS ✨ coming from @Fermilab! Check my timeline for details, but I'll give a very brief and simplified summary here...

Cambridge & Edinburgh @SolidariTeeUK are delighted to introduce our #VoicesofVoyage poetry event, at 6pm 24th March. Expect to be moved and inspired as we hear musings on themes including displacement & journey. Speakers include @ReemAbbas at @englishunicam @LitCamb links below👇

@emilyadawson I so enjoyed the talk and adore the zine - thank you so much!

Contemporary US artist Patricia Watwood's portrait of Cecilia Payne (1900-1979, Unlike celebrated men like Newton, Darwin or Einstein, Payne, a UK-born US astronomer and astrophysicist who discovered what the sun is made of and more, is hardly recognised #womensart

"Ultimately her pots seem to radiate the knowledge, skill and attention to detail that has been exerted in their making, yet there's an intrinsic warmth here too. They implore you to look, and look carefully." Thanks to The Design Edit for the review! thedesignedit.com/reviews/jennif…

Her awareness of paradigms regarding the measurement of progress in science is very relevant!

It appears she chose to maintain her public image within the cruel dictation of what was “acceptable” in those times - while she burnt most epistolary correspondence she had with Dorothy Freeman, the surviving letters expresse “how dearly and tenderly [she] love[d] [her]”

Rachel Carson was a conservationist who wrote ‘Silent Spring’ in 1962 - a book about the harmful effects of DDT, particularly on avian populations. She is widely credited as an (if not The!!) instigator of the environmental movement. #WomenInSTEM
