I grew up watching nature on film like this and spent my childhood recording nature documentaries on VHS, but I am so deeply aggrieved that my first thought upon seeing something miraculous is now "is it AI?". AI has stolen something so deeply precious to me that I can't even begin to express it.

James Wells Editor, Development Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, USA "Most exciting discoveries happen at the junction between two disciplines, and two disciplines that I think really are a marriage made in heaven are developmental biology and biomedical engineering. I'd love to see more engineering-based principles applied to studying concepts in developmental biology." Key topics: development and disease, organogenesis, patterning , stem cells, tissue engineering and organoids.

“A travel grant from The Company of Biologists brought me to Uruguay, where I met and learned from Leonel Malacrida, a renowned expert in hyperspectral imaging. This connection has been instrumental in shaping my research skills and career, as I can now apply the knowledge and techniques I acquired to my PhD research and share them with others in Africa.”
