Development is excited to host a webinar series showcasing the latest developmental biology and stem cell research. The webinars are chaired each month by a different Development Editor, who invites talks from authors of exciting new papers and preprints. First authors are particularly encouraged to present their work – we hope the series will become a forum for supporting early-career researchers. The webinars typically occur once a month and are now held over Zoom.

Through most of 2023, we plan to showcase postdocs who will be applying for independent positions over the course of the year. This is part of our recently announced Pathway to Independence programme, through which we will be supporting postdocs as they go on the job market. To find out more about the Pathway to Independence programme, please read our editorial. We look forward to hosting these webinars!
