Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Eunice Silva, @margarida_venda & @TheHomemLab find that serine hydroxymethyl transferase is required for optic lobe neuroepithelia development in Drosophila.

Within hours of #neuron birth, terminal differentiation genes are transcribed, but not translated. In #PLOSBiology, @TheHomemLab reveals that these transcripts are only translated days later in a way that coordinates with developmental stage in #Drosophila

Get to know our keynote speakers through word clouds, using the text from their most recent publications. Today: @TheHomemLab. Yes, Drosophila is in there.

We decided to use optogenetics to study how aPKC shapes epithelial tissues. What happened? An exciting project that uncovered the importance of balancing apical contractility to prevent tissue rupture.

"Frustratingly, ERC can’t fund many excellent proposals - for budgetary reasons. Under Horizon 2020, some 3600 had to be turned down!"
"The present budget is already too small; imagine with the new #EUbudget in the future” said the ERC President: erc.europa.eu/news/hearing-i… #MFF 🇪🇺

A fascinating talk by #ClaudioStern on the road less traveled: how does the early embryo *restricts* developmental potential in order to avoid twinning in the peri-implantation period? #DevBioMed19

Lovely talk by @MCarmoFonseca from our neighbors @IMMolecular, stressing the often neglected fact that partnering with #patient support groups can be a tremendously effective way of accelerating discovery. #DevBioMed19
