To celebrate the beauty of #DevBio and the creativity of developmental biologists, we’ve joined forces with @the_node to set up a virtual art exhibition

We launch today to coincide with the start of #EDBC2023

Some highlights below...

1/n #DevBio_Art

V excited (& a bit nervous) for the European #DevBio Congress, starting Monday. So many new and interesting things going on

We are distributing the meeting across 3 countries for the first time 🤯

"Watch parties" are lined up in many cities. So pleased with the uptake on this! 🙏

We will launch a virtual #DevBio_ART exhibition to accompany #EDBC2023. It is FANTASTIC and open to all

We will premiere a segment of the upcoming @BSDB movie, which SO SO GOOD

Plus lots & lots of great science!
