I do like the @dev-journal.bsky.social "Research Report" format for shortish papers

This one is valuable. "Is it the N2B27?" is the stem cell biologist version of "Is it the magnesium?"

Great and stimulating lecture from Neil Shubin @neilshubin.bsky.social today at College de France showing how biological innovations predate the revolutions. Evolution is a tinkerer! Thank you @denisduboule.bsky.social for the invite! I’ll try to find time to read George Sand 😁

It is with great sadness that we heard of John Gurdon’s passing this week. Not just one of our 100 extraordinary biologists, but truly one of a kind, he was a pioneer, whose vision and personality inspired biologists worldwide.
