Development is excited to host a webinar series showcasing the latest developmental biology and stem cell research. Since 2023, we have showcased postdocs applying for independent positions as part of our Pathway to Independence (PI) programme. The webinars typically occur once a month and are now held over Zoom. Previously, the webinars were chaired each month by a different Development Editor, who invited talks from authors of exciting new papers and preprints.
