Cosy Science talk- How do cells communicate to build tissues?
Posted by NickyLB, on 16 May 2014
Cosy Science is an informal pub gathering where scientists talk about their research over a pint of beer (or glass of wine!) with anyone who is interested in listening. It is mostly a monthly event, taking place at The Cittie of Yorke pub in London, and everyone is welcome!
As you may know, The Company of Biologists runs a series of workshops for scientists, and we collaborate with Cosy Science to bring some of the exciting research discussed at the workshops to the general public. Our latest workshop will focus on cell polarity, and one of the participants, Dr Suzanne Eaton (MPI-CBG, Dresden) will be joining Cosy Science next Wednesday (21st of May) to bring developmental biology to the pub! Suzanne will give a short talk about how cells communicate to build tissues, and its implications in regulating size, embryogenesis and cancer. After a short break to refill, the floor will be open for questions and friendly discussion. So if you’re in the area, bring along that friend who always wanted to know what developmental biology is all about, and enjoy an evening of pub science sponsored by The Company of Biologists!

Wish we were on the other side of the ocean to join in. Great idea!
A similar initiative, called Pint of Science, is taking place around the world this week, including in the US. Maybe next year it will expand to a city nearer to you! http://www.pintofscience.us/#!contact/c1d94
