Show and tell
Using an image or a video as a hook, these short posts bring people’s attention to a paper, a technique or a location that is of interest to the developmental and stem cell biology community.
“No such thing as a standard career path” interview series
In this new series, we chatted to several developmental biologists who have had vastly different career trajectories. Check out all the interviews in this series so far.
The Node correspondents
Correspondents are researchers who are also interested in science communication. They work with the Node team to develop and create content on a broad range of topics. Here are a few highlights of posts produced by the correspondents:
- Non-model organisms: weird critters and the people who study them — by Brent Foster and Alexandra Bisia
- Online vs in-person conferences: advantages, disadvantages and why we need both — by Dina Mikimoto
- Who was Rita Levi-Montalcini? — by Alex Neaverson
Do you want to broaden your science communication experience alongside your research? We are looking for new correspondents for the Node. Find out more and apply by 20 January 2025!
Even though we have grouped posts into different series, we always welcome posts that don’t necessarily fit into any of our existing blog series.
Remember, the Node is your site: once you’ve registered, you can freely share your blog post, job advert or event notice with the community. If you have any questions, just get in touch.
