I explained in The Hill just how essential it is for congress to block OMB’s sweeping rewrite of federal grant rules. Please flag for your representatives and insist they block these rule changes that would devastate the US scientific research enterprise

🚨 1 DAY until #2026SDB! 🪰 That’s about how long it takes a Drosophila embryo to develop and hatch into a larva. A lot can happen in 24 hours, and tomorrow, the developmental biology community comes together in Las Vegas! 🧬🎰
🚨 2 DAYS until #2026SDB! 🐣
That’s about the time it takes a chick embryo to develop a beating heart. ❤️ Development never stops, and neither does our countdown! Pack your posters, questions, and best science. Las Vegas, here we come! 🎰🧬
🚨 3 DAYS until #2026SDB! 🐟
That’s about how long it takes a zebrafish to go from fertilization to hatching. That’s a lot of development, and we’re almost ready to hatch some exciting new ideas in Las Vegas! 🧬🎰 See you soon!
✨For this #FluorescenceFriday we are highlighting 10 amazing images of development from the Young Embryologist Network 2026 Image Competition! Follow the hashtag #yenimagecompetition for full details. 📷🔬
🌼 We look forward to hosting Nick Desnoyer @NickDesnoyer, a postdoc at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, at #2026SDB in Las Vegas! Nicholas has been awarded the SDB Trainee Science Communication Award, check out his website to find out more! 🔬
✨Jeffrey Farrell is a Stadtman Investigator at the NIH. He has led seminal work constructing single-cell RNAseq atlases for entire embryos using zebrafish. We are excited to host Jeffrey at the #2026SDB in Las Vegas! 🔬
Today on #ModelMonday we have a spotty squid hatchling! 🦑 The longfin inshore squid has huge axons which allowed Hodgkin and Huxley to discover nerve impulses propagate by action potential. Today they are an important model for cephalopod development. 🔬

✨ Excited to host invited speaker Alexandra Joyner (@ALJoyner21) at #2026SDB in Las Vegas! 🎰🃏
Her research explores the genetic regulation of development and how signaling pathways shape tissue patterning and organ formation. 🧬✨ #devbio
What can we learn from model organisms? 🧬
🧫 Regeneration (Hydra, Stentor)
🌱 Stem cell niches (plant meristems)
🌸 Patterning (Mimulus)
🐟 Novel structures (sea robins)
Diverse systems + fundamental questions.

A window into early development! 🔬

🧬✨ At #2026SDB in Las Vegas, join us for a talk by Lee Niswander 🎰 Her lab uses mouse embryonic development to uncover how the nervous system, limbs, and other organs form, and how disruptions in these processes lead to major birth defects 🐭🔬
🪱✨ Join us at #2026SDB in Las Vegas to hear from Ricardo Zayas! 🎰 His lab uses freshwater planarians to study how entire organisms regenerate from tiny body fragments 🌱🧬, focusing on adult pluripotent stem cells (neoblasts) that drive tissue renewal and regeneration. 🔬
