Do read Prashali’s X-plainer and paper about the blood-feeding behaviour of An. sephensi mosquitoes. Much of this work happened in the thick of the pandemic and none of us had ever worked with mosquitoes before. But what a blast it’s been! We hope you enjoy reading it!

I am super excited to share our work on blood-feeding behaviour🩸in Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes🦟! Check out our pre-print 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



If you’re a postdoc working broadly in developmental biology, sign up for this. 👇🏾

📢Mark your calendars! The first set of talks in our Gulmohar series kicks off on 12 Nov, 6 PM IST. For the first edition, we have @yamini_ravichan & @onenimesa If you would like to attend, please fill out this form and we'll share the Zoom link forms.gle/TY3j1aUtfbdsv8…

Thank you for your kind comments and emails. Now that many of you have read this, I want to add some context here... journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…


This workshop will be a mix of research talks and tinkering. You’ll get to put together different types of microscopes, image microscopic life on them, and also try your hands at ultrastructural expansion microscopy. Check it out 👇🏾and apply!

Another shout-out to an unsung hero of the #FlyWire connectome. Ten years ago, Rick Fetter cut a fly brain into 7000 slices, each 1000x thinner than a hair.

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature. This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium! nature.com/immersive/d428… Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

I know many of you are interested in science writing. Reading an accessible piece of writing that doesn’t whitewash the complexities of a subject is a pleasure. If you’d like to hone your writing skills, or just want to share something you are excited about, do get in touch.

InSDB welcomes you to submit stories/articles on matters related to #devbio.  Check out the categories in which you can pitch stories. Contributions are welcome from researchers, students, writers, and anyone fascinated by developmental biology. insdb.in/insdb-article-…

It was lovely talking to @joyz_yu, thank you for the opportunity! If I may use it for a plug :) Do read about all that @InSDB_79 wants to do. Societies support research communities and they can do this because of the community. So, do sign up to become a member!

Transitions in development – an interview with Sonia Sen In this Interview, @soniaqsen talks about her research, the transition to becoming a group leader, and her work with the Indian Society of Developmental Biologists (@InSDB_79): journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

The fly has a full #connectome, basically a directed + weighted graph. But what are its connection ‘signs’, excitatory/inhibitory? We move towards this answer, predicting transmitters from EM! w/@BobQubit, vid @amyneurons, 1/n Published @CellCellPress: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…


It’s DBJC Wednesday! Sign up (link in their bio) if you want a link. Here’s the paper being discussed: doi.org/10.1016/j.cels…

Hello hello! If you want to learn about how cells interpret not only the concentration of morphogens but also their timing, do attend tomorrow’s DBJC session led by Shubham! Sign up link is in our bio!

This is a lovely interview with Neha! So many of us don’t quite know what we want when we step into a research lab for the first time. Good mentors can have a huge impact in those early days. And so much science comes out of experiments that went horribly wrong! Read on!👇🏾

Would you stop an experiment if you realize you've made a mistake midway through? @NehaVyas_NV tells us that sometimes it's worth seeing it to the end. Read our interview with her where she talks about how she got into academia, and her journey so far! insdb.in/neha-vyas-behi…

Try out this quiz! The questions are of general knowledge with a twist of science. @InSDB_79 will publish answers and tell us who the winners of each round are! PS: If you were at the InSDB2024 meeting and took part in the quiz, be honourable and don’t participate here! :)

Here's a little Monday fun for everyone! Part 1 of a series of short quizzes is up on our website! These will be general quizzes with a dash of science. Take it here: insdb.in/insdb-quiz/ Winners will get a shoutout from our page :)



This promises to be a fabulous meeting. Apply soon👇🏾 Developmental Specification of Complex Behaviors janelia.org/you-janelia/co…
