We had a super fun session with Dr Rashmi @_Priya_R! Along with her fantastic work on morphodynamics, she passed on many extremely valuable nuggets of wisdom to our curious young attendees. Missed the session? DM us for a recording of the presentation!

It's frustrating when you want to work in a certain field but the country has only n number of people working in it that too with limited resources. Need some help with finding/connect with Epilepsy Researchers/Scientists around for learning opportunities for a noob graduate.

Is Dev-Bio undergoing a crisis? Maybe not ... but it'll surely be one for you if you miss these upcoming talks from the giants in the field @AMartinezArias and @benoitbruneau! So, crisis or not, come and attend the last talks of the season, and decide for yourself!

Annoyed by the unpredictable weather? Good news is that great VGZT sessions are always predictable! Join us this Thursday to hear about human and zebrafish development. Attending for the first time? Use the link in the bio to register!
Buckle up for a wild ride tomorrow, as we explore sea anemones with @genikhovich, and then change gears to learn about bio-energentics in development with @J_Rodenfels. New to this? Use the link in the bio to register for regular email updates!
Some of you might still be waiting for summer, but we sure don't have to wait more for our regular dose of gastrulation! Cutting-edge tech meets science with @Merlin_Lange, and new frontiers in human development are discovered by @IdseHeemskerk. See y'all this Thursday!

We might be inching towards the end of winter, but VGZT is here to stay! This Thursday we'll talk about the evo-devo of questionable openings with @Hejnol_Lab and the role of extracellular matrix in stem-cell based models with @DhirajIndana. New here? Register using link in bio!
ICBMs are so old-school. We present to you, the ICGT! Or, the Inter-Continental Gastrulation Talks! The journey takes off from sunny Cal with @StreichanS and his flies, and ends up over in Moscow with Yulia Kraus and her exotic cnidarians. Join us on Thursday! #MakeScienceNotWar

The first and only rule of gastrulation club is : Everyone talks about the gastrulation club! To honor this rich tradition, we'll be joined by Dr Caroline Hill from @TheCrick and @thibaut_brunet from @institutpasteur. Join us this Thursday for a journey ranging diverse phyla!
Our new year resolution was to be evermore curious about gastrulation, and as a first step to that, we'll be having @mechmorpho and @womtyatt, who'd take us on a journey to understand the most important process of our life, using their respective model systems!

The elves must be incredibly busy pumping out all the Christmas presents, same as how the cells in the embryonic factory work to create the gift of life, supported by impeccable engineering. Experience the role of physics in life with David Shook and @StephanGrill this Thursday!
Thinking to start the festive month by celebrating one of the most beautiful processes in life? Fear not! For the gastrulating Santa has bought the presents you seek! Meet @KyraCampbellLab and @tclebedeva as they talk about ways early sculpting of life is regulated! Link in bio!
