I had a great time at #Morpho5 (@cammorphoseries.bsky.social) last Friday, representing @dev-journal.bsky.social and @biologists.bsky.social, who sponsored the meeting and poster prizes.
It was a pleasure to speak with the speakers and attendees.
Congratulations again to the poster prize winners!

There are so many fun ways to approach research dissemination!
Tried the @prelights.bsky.social spotLight video format to share our latest published work on how ZIC2 shapes early neural development!
Total YouTuber vibes: and I kinda' loved it, tbh. 🤳🔬👇
