One of the best parts of #UKZF2025 🐟✨ — old friends reconnecting, new colleagues meeting for the first time, all sharing ideas and energy to drive science forward together 💡🤝
@mmaftei.bsky.social @smikulamrstakova.bsky.social and @aitorbg.bsky.social from our lab showed their research at the @ucleye.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk Early Career Researcher meeting. They all did fantastic and Aitor was awarded the best poster prize… congratulations Aitor! #devbio #zebrafish #science

With a published genome & advancements in gene editing, the field of #zebrafish genetics has exploded in recent decades. We take a look back at major achievements in this infographic. For more, read this book chapter by @varshneylab.social et al (2015)($) doi.org/10.1016/bs.a... #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

High impact, small size.

We welcome papers that address findings from a single set of experiments, or that are substantial enough to stand alone in 1,500 words or fewer.

🚨 Abstracts are due next week! 🚨
Submit your abstract to give a talk or poster at YEN 2025 by the 12th April!

Share this opportunity with dev bio and stem cell PhD students. The conference is FREE and full of great science.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Some #zebrafish news. After consulting with the Genome Reference Consortium (GRC) we will annotate one of our Tübingen T2T assemblies as a reference genome. This is an excellent assembly that we can get into the hands of the zebrafish research community right now. We are continuing our efforts

It is with great joy that we are receiving @valetornini.bsky.social these weeks, who came to the land of her ancestors for scientific networking. Looking forward to her talk tomorrow at Facultad de Ciencias, Udelar. Will she dare to give her talk in Spanish? Yes, she will! @socneurouy.bsky.social

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D

Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added!

… for those looking for a lab to do a PhD
Great! Can you please add our lab too? Thanks!
Hi! we use zebrafish to study eye development and disease
