This month on the Node- February 2015

Posted by , on 2 March 2015

Our jobs page was again very busy this month, so make sure to check it out! Here are some of the other highlights:

 

cavefish squareResearch:

– Manuel wrote about his Development paper, where he examines how the eyes of the cavefish P. andruzii develop, and what that tells us about the evolution of eye loss in different cavefish species.

– and Bryony posted about a Nature Communications paper by the Patient Lab showing that FGF signalling restricts HSC specification.

 

 

 

A day in the life:

February saw two new additions to our ongoing series about the daily routine of doing developmental biology using different model systems:

A day in the life of a maize lab– by China (Hake lab, USA).

A day in the life of an axolotl lab– by Annie (Cruz-Ramírez lab, Mexico).

Also on the Node:

Image 1– Cat wrote about how her recent press release was covered by the media, and considered how science stories reach the press.

– George described his Summer project in the Hope lab, modelling developmental disorders in C. elegans.

– And this month you had the chance to choose which of these beautiful images from the Woods Hole embryology course you would like to see on the cover of Development.
