Having a lovely and inspiring time at #EED26!
Having a lovely time using the incredible imaging facilities at @clf-stfc.bsky.social 🦈🔬
How do you build the posterior end of a body? 🧫🔬🧬 I am excited to share that my PhD work on the generation of hindlimb and genital progenitors from human pluripotent stem cells is now available on BioRxiv!

Pleased to announce two new publications, in Current Biology and PNAS, from outstanding postdoc Delai (Dylan) Huang, just a week before he leaves to start his new faculty position at Zhejiang University.
We have a postdoc position available. Please forward to anyone who may be interested.
I illustrated my way through the @bsdb.bsky.social Spring Meeting a couple weeks ago - here's my illustrated summary of the conference! I sketched (almost) all the speakers and glimpses of the science that made it such a great few days.
Come and join us!!

A comparative analysis of cnidarian larval morphogenesis combined with active surface
theory identifies a set of mesoscale mechanical modules that predict species-specific
shapes. Manipulating these m...
