What’s new at InSDB
Posted by Indian Society of Developmental Biologists ., on 1 October 2024
The Indian Society of Developmental Biologists is the national society that represents developmental and stem cell biologists across India. We are pleased to introduce the society and our activities to the Node readers. Reading on, you will find some of our recent initiatives and posts. Do visit the InSDB website to check out more. You can get in touch with us at info@insdb.in if you would like to contribute/be a volunteer for InSDB.
Gulmohar-Postdoc Talk Series
Gulmohar is our new, virtual, post-doc talk series through which we aim to bring together early-career scientists from around the world to share their research. This is a chance to hear from the next crop of PIs about their work, where their research is heading, and what’s next for them. Whether you are starting your research career, or already knee-deep in it, through this series, you will get to know about the different fields within the broad scope of developmental biology research. After every session, we also plan to have a post-talk informal discussion where you get to connect with the speakers and receive insight into their scientific journey and potential opportunities for your own.
We are currently accepting applications from postdocs who would like to be a speaker for the series. If you fit the bill, please sign up here, and we will get in touch with you.
Science Simplified
Science Simplified is our series where we pick up a recently published research paper in developmental biology and distill it to the liking of a general audience. You can read the first article in this series here.
InSDB is also accepting articles from our audience! These could be stories on the latest research from the stem cell and developmental biology fields and perspectives on matters that are relevant to our audience. Anyone is welcome to pitch stories to us. We accept articles that are thoroughly researched and convey the excitement, relevance, and fascination of the subject to any curious reader. If you are interested in science writing and would like to sharpen your skills, this is your cue to get your pen and paper out! Also, do read our submission guidelines to know more. If you would like to contribute, please add your entries here.
Behind The Bench
Behind the Bench is our interview series where we feature InSDB members, their stories, and the science they do. In each episode, we sit down with a member to know about their journey in science, from their early inspirations to the serendipitous moments along the way. Through this series of interviews, we aim to highlight the members who make our society what it is today. You can read these interviews here.
