London Evo-Devo is back!
Join us on May 5th for another excellent afternoon of talks and discussions on all things Evo-Devo. We are building a wonderful community, and we need you!
The pleasure was all mine @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social!
You are doing some of the most exciting science in #Evo-Devo. So many incredible researchers under the same roof. Fantastic students and postdocs. I will be following your work closely!
Our internal organs are evolutionary marvels. New technologies are transforming our understanding of the evolution of vertebrate organs. You can find more by reading here:

Crick evolutionary biologist @margaridamcm.bsky.social is working with conservation charity ZSL to investigate an enduring mystery: how the placenta has evolved with incredible variation across species.

The Crick magazine spring edition is here, with our latest discoveries and science stories.
Read about John Diffley’s mission to crack DNA replication and how a giraffe is helping scientists understand placenta evolution ➡️ www.crick.ac.uk/news-and-fea...
Our lab is hiring a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in bioinformatics, evolutionary genomics and single-cell data analyses, to explore the evolution of reproductive organs across fishes. We are located in Rennes, France (INRAE-LPGP). For more details: florentmuratwebpage.wordpress.com
Interested in the evolution of vertebrate organs and cell types?
Then this is a must read review by @margaridamcm.bsky.social
Beautifully explaining the interplay between genome changes, selection forces, development and evolution.

New Review 👇
The molecular evolution of vertebrate organs: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Margarida Cardoso-Moreira discusses rates of evolution of organs and cell types, molecular mechanisms of organ evolution and how complex traits contributed to the diversification of vertebrates.
How have concerted and mosaic evolutionary mechanisms shaped the expansion of the human cerebellum?
Our review with @tyamadat.bsky.social and @ioansarr.bsky.social available free till March 29:

May 5th: if you are around London, please join the London #EvoDevo symposium at QMUL / Charterhouse campus, as usual we will have selected talks and post-event 🍻. A warm up for #EED2026 in Glasgow. Registration £0, more info here: londonevodevo.co.uk
Outstanding talk last Friday at #CABDseminars by @margaridamcm.bsky.social about the evolution of new cell types and organs! Margarida was hosted by @fany-real.bsky.social
Thanks for coming Margarida!

We are thrilled that our study on the evolution of gene regulation in mammalian cerebellum development – led by @ioansarr.bsky.social, @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social, in collaboration with @steinaerts.bsky.social – is now out in @ScienceMagazine! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Gene regulatory changes are considered major drivers of evolutionary innovations, including the cerebellum’s expansion during human evolution, yet they remain largely unexplored. In this study, we com...
