Prof Fumio Motegi gave a career talk about learnings from failure at the recent BDR-Launchpad event for ECRs. Learning that seasoned researchers cherish both success AND failure was enlightening! Thank you for your time! @RIKEN_BDR @BDR_RIKEN #ECRs #BDRLaunchpad @dev_mechanics

👩🔬Happy #IWD2024!
In February, we invited @KeikoUTorii & @HYanagisawaLab, two leading scientists actively involved in promoting #womeninSTEM to an #IDWGIS Symposium for BDR members to share their insights on how we can boost numbers of #WomenInScience.

Amazing talk at @InSDB_79 meeting by Masatoshi Takeichi from @theNASciences about his long journey to the discovery of Cadherins.
Lesson: curiosity and resilience underlie all huge discoveries.
Fun fact: Original observations in @Dev_Bio_Journal !
