I think the latest cover helps to remind us that Development is not just a faceless brand of a journal eager to line shareholder pockets - it's a group of people who share a love for #devbio and, in my experience, really are trying to do their best for their community.

Study of 8M biomed & life science articles finds those led by women spent 7 to 15 days longer in review than those led by men. Over a career, women's papers could spend 350 to 750 additional days in review. Delays could slow promotion, esp to full professor. www.the-scientist.com/women-s-rese...

😍 Really beautiful summary!
🚨Can embryos regenerate their tails? A question I had.
With support from @biologists.bsky.social, Val Wilson, Elly Tanaka and Wouter🙏, I visited Vienna to start by cutting axolotl embryo tail buds.
The answer: Not always!😮...Sparking a fun and exciting collaboration that is only the beginning.

A study of millions of life science papers revealed that manuscripts with women in key authorship roles spent longer between submission and acceptance.
🚨 New preprint 🚨
Massive shoutout to first author @abinagui.bsky.social !!!
The common view is that regenerative competence declines with age. We challenge this idea by showing that axolotl tail regenerative competence is emerges during a defined embryonic window. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
