This month on the Node- July 2014
Posted by the Node, on 1 August 2014
Here are last month’s highlights!
Research and news:
– Jacqueline wrote about her recent paper in Development, investigating the developmental origin and evolution of turtle shell patterning.
– This month’s Stem Cell Beauty post focused on the role of two transcription factors in muscle development… and how the way such discoveries help us get closer to a therapeutic application is not unlike football.
– and the European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO) celebrated 50 years this month, so we collated some of the Node posts in the last few years with a connection to EMBO.
Videos:
– What happens when you mix comedy with developmental biology? The answer is the Devo Show, a comedy performance that took place at the Society for Developmental Biology meeting and which you can watch in full on the Node.
– and we posted the Waddington Medal lecture given by Phil Ingham at the recent Spring meeting of the British Society for Developmental Biology. It provides an interesting overview not only of his career but also of the Drosophila and zebrafish fields.
Also on the Node:
– Simon wrote about Microscopes4Schools, an outreach project that aims to bring microscopy to the classroom.
– Henrique and Rodrigo showed that Brazil is not just about football and sun, by providing an overview of the past and present of developmental biology in this country.
– Thomas shared his thoughts on the recent Young Embryologists Meeting.
– And a second round of beautiful images from last year’s Woods Hole embryology course was up for voting. Congratulations to Brijesh Kumar– his zebrabow image will feature in the cover of a future issue of Development.
Happy reading!
