Show and tell
To provide more visual content on the Node, we are starting a new series called ‘Show and tell’. The aim of these short posts is to use an image or a video to act as a hook for people to find out more about a paper, a technique or a location that is of interest to the developmental and stem cell biology community.
Do you have an incredible image or video from one of your recent papers? Are you optimising a technique and want to showcase a piece of equipment you are using? Or perhaps your research involves going to a field site to collect samples?
Write a ‘Show and tell’ post yourself!
Post an image, photo, or video of your choice, and answer the questions below. Keep the answers short and snappy, and always include a link at the end for people to find out more. Be as creative as you want with what you show people, as long as it is relevant to #devbio!
- What is this?
- Where can this be found?
- How was this taken?
- What does it do?
- Why should people care about this?
- How would you explain this to an 8-year-old?
- Where can people find more about it?
(Note: you can choose to answer the questions that apply to you, and feel free to adapt the questions to fit your answers)
