Dr @GunesTaylor is the editor of our magazine and clearly a fan of science since an early age! This is what she would share with a videoscope-loving young Gunes! #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience #WomenInScience

Let's talk about numbers and human embryos. In 2019, 675 human embryos were donated for research in the UK, and 172,915 human embryos were discarded. Meanwhile, 58% of patients would like to donate their embryos for research theguardian.com/science/2023….

What if you could find out the history of signaling activity in each cell with a single round of imaging? Wouldn't that be incredible? Well, we thought so too. And that's what we set out to achieve with INSCRIBE in our new preprint. Let’s dive in! 🚀🔬 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

This is a really important article. There are plenty of human embryos available for research, and even when patients would like to donate them for research, in most cases this does not happen. Now more than ever, we need more human embryo research. rbmojournal.com/article/S147…

Some reflections on #spemannmangold2024 . I guess it is the nature of those events that they make you reflect on what is their focus and the history of the organizer is an interesting one that, probably, applies to many fields of Science.
