Hello #mastodon, and thanks to @Co_Biologists for the invitation 🙂. We begin our broadcast with this picture of current and future #V4SDB Board members having fun at the recent 3rd V4SDB Meeting in Warsaw.

Have you visited the virtual #DevBio_Art exhibition we organised with @BSDB yet?

Have a stroll through the exhibition, including #microscopy images and #SciArt work submitted from the #DevBio community, and visit the 'Historical embryo zoo':

Big thanks to Tanya Whitfield for spearheading the exhibition, working with Anahi Binagui Casas, Tamina Lebek, Sally Lowell and with amazing help from Joyce Yu of @the_node

And thank you to everyone who submitted their beautiful images!
