Show and tell

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)
