“This really is a historical first, because it’s potentially the start of a new era where nobody has to die waiting for an organ transplant”
Dr Rohin Francis, cardiologist
In the latest episode of the Genetics Unzipped podcast, we’re delving into the seemingly science fiction world of xenotransplantation, that is, taking organs from animals and using them as organ transplants for humans. We chat with cardiologist Dr Rohin Francis about the groundbreaking operation this year transplanting a genetically modified pig heart into a human, and we chat with Professor Angelika Schnieke about how we can avoid getting more than we bargained for from pigs.

Time is inherent to biological processes. It determines the order of events and the speed at which they take place. This is particularly obvious during embryonic development where the sequence and rate of events ensures that structures develop in the right place, at the right time. Modifying the developmental tempo can affect the final size and composition of tissues, as well as their plasticity and function. Comparisons between species reveals that although the order and underlying molecular mechanisms are often indistinguishable, the pace at which they advance can differ substantially. Hence comparison of biological processes between species is likely to provide insight into time-keeping mechanisms and how they change. Despite the centrality of these questions to embryo development, and evolution, it has remained an understudied topic. The workshop will foster dialogue between researchers from different fields to stimulate new ideas and catalyse the study of the genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms controlling the tempo of embryonic development.
Registration for attendance now extended until the 29th of April!
The Young Embryologist Network conference 2022 (YEN 22) is the 14th iteration of the network’s hugely successful yearly developmental biology meeting. This will be a hybrid conference hosted at the Francis Crick Institute and streamed over Zoom on Monday the 16th of May 2022.
Our meetings provide an opportunity for early-career-stage developmental biologists to share their own research, network and engage with peers and pioneers in the field, with delegates attending from across the globe
We have a varied and exciting programme for YEN 22: Dr. Andrew Gillis (University of Cambridge) and Dr. Kate McDole (MRC LMB) will be delivering talks as two of our invited speakers. Furthermore, we have the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Elly Tanaka (Institute of Molecular Pathology, Vienna) to give the Sammy Lee memorial keynote address. Plus, PhD students and postdocs may submit abstracts for the chance to give a short talk or present a poster.
Moreover, we are immensely proud to be hosting our first “Scientific Perspectives: Working in Science with a Disability” talks at YEN 22. Disability is a tremendous barrier not only to entry, but also to the progression of a scientific career, and researchers with disabilities remain immensely underrepresented at every career stage. Our community could be much better equipped in helping ensure inclusion and equal opportunities for disabled scientists, and so we have invited Dr. Elisabeth Kugler (UCL), Prof. John Hutchinson (RVC) and Dr. Oscar Cazares (UCSF) to share their perspectives and experiences of working in science with a disability. We also have the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Cynthia Andoniadou (King’s College London), who will be delivering the summary address for these sessions.
Abstract submission is now closed but, due to ongoing demand, we have extended the attendance registration deadline to 11:59pm on the 29th of April.

In our latest SciArt profile, we hear from Cirenia Arias Baldrich. Cirenia is a freelance illustrator, who has a background in plant physiology and stem cell bioinformatics.
Where are you originally from and what do you work on now?
I am from La Línea de La Concepción (Cádiz), but I lived in Seville for 16 years, where I studied biology and completed my PhD on Molecular Biology and Genetics. After that I moved on in my scientific career to Portugal and then to the UK, where I was rocking bioinformatics as a postdoctoral researcher in the Stem Cell Biology and Evolution Group (Dr Jordi Solana – Oxford Brookes University). Nowadays, I am based in Cádiz, Spain, working as a full time freelance illustrator, helping organisations and other scientists to communicate their work using the power of images.
There’s a friend in me, how we domesticate our pets. This is one of the 15 illustrations introducing the 15 chapters of ‘GENES: Escribiendo el guion de la vida’ book (Guadalmazán, Almuzara Libros). With these illustrations, my goal was to introduce the chapters to the reader, to make them curious about what they are about to be immersed in, and at the same time trigger them to rethink what they had already read.Birdwatching. Illustration featured in the paper ‘No Bird Database is Perfect: Citizen Science and Professional Datasets Contain Different and Complementary Biodiversity Information’, Sofía Galván, Rafael Barrientos, Sara Varela (Ardeola, 2022).
Were you always going to be a scientist?
Not really, at least it was not clear in my mind. Though since I learned how to talk, I started asking questions, and replying with ‘but how/why?’ or ‘are you sure of that?’ to every answer. I also loved to decipher how things worked; opening electronic stuff to see its components, making tests, playing with computers – I was pretty curious! I also had other interests like arts, design, informatics, marketing, but I always loved to read the biology notes of my older sister, who is also a biologist. Like her, I decided to study biology. It was amazing to learn about genetics, cell biology, zoology, plant physiology, biochemistry, ecology, to better understand both the world around us and ourselves.
Visual Identity of the BalkanDetoxLIFE project: Strengthening national capacities to fight wildlife poisoning and raise awareness about the problem across seven Balkan countries. The #BalkanDetoxLIFE’s project logotype illustrates the severity of illegal wildlife poisoning, while also signifying hope through the project’s goal to detox the Balkans from this threat.Cover published in GENETICS, Genetics GSA.‘DNA Repair Kit’ highlights the essential role of a chromatin remodelling complex in the DNA repair process. This cover is linked to Morillo-Huesca et al., 2019.
And what about art – have you always enjoyed it?
Definitely. I can’t even remember when I started drawing, what I know is that I never stopped. Since I was a child, I never had enough colours, watercolours, crayons or markers (I still cannot go into an art supply store without going mad)! I loved trying new materials, trying to draw everything I saw, such as everyday objects, or the room where I was. I was always doodling, even in meetings, (I still do) and, funny fact, that is actually how my adventure as a professional illustrator started, taking graphic notes at scientific talks. I discovered that I could join my three passions: science, art and communication, using illustration as a science communication service.
Las Que Cuentan La Ciencia 2022. Animated Poster for Scicomm Event ‘Las Que Cuentan La Ciencia’ (The Women who Explain Science). The 2022 theme was ‘Amor, Amor, Amor’ (Love, Love, Love). In this poster, love is illustrated in diverse forms, while the theatre represents the return to on-site events. This event is organised by the Unit of Scientific Culture and Innovation (UCC+i) of Cordoba (Spain), (University of Córdoba, Maldita.es, The Conversation ES)
What or who are your most important artistic influences?
This is probably one of the toughest questions to answer, since I try to consume as much art/design as I can. From literally everywhere. I’m inspired by movie posters, records covers (I love vinyls), restaurant menus, street signs, street art, graphic novels, etc. However, there are some creators that had made a big impact on the way I see the profession of an illustrator. I really admire the work of many diverse artists like Cristopher Niemann, Malika Favre, Rachel Ignotofsky, Adolfo Arranz, the Etherington Brothers, Andy Riley, Agustina Guerrero, Andry Rasoahaingo (Dedouze), Tom Gauld, Raquel Córcoles (ModernaDePueblo) and many others (I could go on with a never-ending list).
The Depths of the Amundsen Sea. Illustration featured in the article ‘From the depths of the Amundsen Sea’ (Courtillat, M). The image is one of the series of graphic summaries and illustrations created for Horizons Magazine (PAGES- Past Global Changes Project). Horizons highlights paleoscience topics that are of interest for the next generation, and is written in an easy to understand, visual format.
How do you make your art?
Digital tools help me to deliver the work efficiently. It makes the reviewing process easier, and the final artwork can be directly shared in social media, websites, or used for printing or publication. Also, I love the infinite possibilities digital tools provide and learning new resources. Despite all this, I start every project sketching in paper. For my ideas to run wild, I like the feeling of a notebook and a pen, and once I have a plan, I move on to digital fun using both a digital tablet and the computer (depending on the project), hand-drawing apps, vector graphics software, or animation programmes.
The effects of deleterious mutations on ageing. Cover for Martin Iinatti Brengdahl’s doctoral thesis on evolutionary genetics of ageing and sex differences (Friberg Lab), Linköping University. This illustration reflects Martin’s work investigating the age-specificity of deleterious mutations and their contribution to sex differences in ageing and lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster.
Does your art influence your science at all, or are they separate worlds?
Art has always influenced my science: the way I communicate with my colleagues, planning lab strategies, preparing presentations, posters, figures, giving a chalk-talk, or even thinking about a project. I think creativity and science are completely inseparable. Nowadays, being a freelance illustrator, science is my everyday ingredient in my art, since my job is helping to communicate science efficiently, to both expert and non-expert audiences, and my scientific background plays a key role in allowing me to do so. I also feel very motivated and enthusiastic about having an influence on the way other scientists approach the creation of visuals in their work. In this sense, I really enjoy training other researchers, and give them tips and tools so that they can make better illustrations and have fun instead of struggling!
Graphic Summary Poster for Methods and Models in Biomedical Sciences: Building Bridges Meeting, a Champalimaud Foundation workshop co-organised with the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), CONGENTO, QuantOCancer and FRESCI. This poster gathers all the ideas and key messages on scientific methods and models used in biomedical research discussed in the session ‘Breakout World Group Exercise’ of the meeting
What are you thinking of working on next?
One of the things I love the most of my job is how exciting it is to work on so many different things, thanks to the diversity of collaborators. In the next few months, I will be working on very cool projects ranging from awareness about vulture conservation, rare diseases, digital gender gap, palaeoecology editorial illustration and producing several infographics, covering topics such as microbiology or climate change, among others. I would like to take advantage of this awesome spot to thank all the amazing people trusting me to help showcase their amazing work. Last but not least, big thanks to The Node for creating the SciArt profile series, it’s great to get to know other colleagues and I am very honoured to be part of it.

Doing better as a community
There have been a few tweets in the last fortnight discussing some of the negative aspects of our research culture with a call to do better in the future. Lets make that happen!
Reviewing papers
Paper Reviewers: STOP asking for nickel and dime, incremental experiments that don’t advance the overall story. This kind of shit is strangling our trainees and accomplishes nothing but making you feel smart and slowing the pace of science. 1/2
Mixed emotions having been back from @Official_BSCB@_BSDB_#BSCBDB22 for 36h. Fantastic to be back in person, meet so many old friends and new faces; faces from screen in real life finally; some amazing and exciting science. And proud of how well the little one did. BUT…
The impact of Brexit on British science continues with notification from the ERC that awardees will need to move to the EU to take up their grants. The UK government is guaranteeing the grants in the UK but details remain sketchy.
And here it is — communication from @ERC_Research to UK-based #ERC starting grant grantees… UK awardees will have two months time to move their grant to the EU proper, otherwise they will lose their STG. Thank you #Brexit#BrexitReality. pic.twitter.com/AnJeCrCQrZ

All the hard work put in to be awarded an #ERCStG, and we are now in the hands of a political decision. ☹️ https://t.co/YA1f4gezzX
Disaster for U.K. science. U.K. govt knew this was coming and let it happen. Where does the cash come from to replace this invaluable source? @ERC_Research is something we need to be part of. StG support the next generation…..Advanced funds half this old dawg’s group. https://t.co/skYlOv6Vkr
It’s been exciting to see the return of in-person meetings including the joint BSCB and BSDB meeting in the UK (we’ll post our meeting report soon) and #Dros22 in the US. Check out the list below for meetings with upcoming deadline and check our events page for our full listing.

In the latest episode of the Genetics Unzipped podcast, we’re looking at the monkey in the mirror, investigating how flipped genetic switches and long-dead viruses make all the difference between our human faces and those of our closest primate relatives.
“The bits in our genome that encode functional elements like proteins are pretty much identical to a chimp’s. But straight away you can see that a chimp’s face is very different from our own, even though it’s made using the same biological ingredients.”
