The choreography of development: RNA localization across time and space
Chia-Fang Lee, @flydrbnl.bsky.social & @debbysilver.bsky.social highlight developmental roles for RNA localisation in cell polarity, fate and function across model organisms.

At Sfn? Join us at the Cajal Club Social! Sunday, Nov. 16th, 6:30PM–8:30PM. Salt & Whiskey bar@Horton Grand Hotel, www.hortongrand.com/dine-bar. We will learn about an exhibition on Cajal's Work and give out this year's awards to outstanding trainees and established scientists in our community!
heads up neuro bsky 😎 must-read seminal discoveries:
ultimate translation of genetic information in the farthest reaches of the neuron ➡️ @erin-schuman.bsky.social
& in cortex development ➡️ @debbysilver.bsky.social
thanks again 🤝 @natrevneuro.nature.com Darran Yates for editorial collaboration
What a fantastic visit I had. Thanks so much @martinowk.bsky.social for hosting me and excited for future collaborations!
Delighted to share that our study is now out @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-stem-ce... Congrats to Dr. @federicamosti.bsky.social for the culmination of a beautiful thesis!

Was stoked to host @debbysilver.bsky.social at @lieberinstitute.bsky.social today! Fantastic talk on her lab's work on molecular features that make the human 🧠 unique and how RNA localization shapes early neurodevelopment. Great conversations + exciting ideas for future collaborations - thx Debby!
