Development presents… call for self nominations

Launched in 2020, Development presents… is a monthly Zoom webinar series covering the fields of developmental biology, stem cells and regeneration. Each webinar features three speakers who present short talks loosely grouped on a particular topic, and have been hosted by a Development Editor who mediates written questions from the audience. With the speakers’ permission, webinars are recorded and are available to watch on demand.

Since 2023, speakers have been selected from the pool of postdocs applying for their first independent position as part of Development’s Pathway to Independence (PI) programme. Although this is a fantastic way to highlight and support postdocs during their transition to becoming a principal investigator with additional exposure for them and their research, applications to the programme have not always reflected the geographical diversity of the field.

Therefore, we would like to supplement the applicants of the PI programme with additional self-nominations from postdocs – based outside of the US and Europe – looking to transition to secure an independent position within the next year or so.

If you would like to be considered as a Development presents… speaker in 2025 (and early 2026), please follow the link to the self-nomination form below. The deadline for nominations is Friday, 28 March 2025.

To be eligible, nominees must:

• work on a topic within the scope of Development.
• have a first-author publication or preprint from their postdoctoral research.
• be applying, or ready to apply, for their first independent position in the next year.
• be based outside of the US or Europe.

Questions regarding the self-nomination form should be directed to developmentpresents@biologists.com.
