🚨 Excited to introduce FuChi (Fucci chicken), the first avian cell cycle reporter line. Thank you to all those who contributed to putting this paper together. I really think it showcases the power and beauty of the chick embryo as a developmental biology model. 🐥 🥚 🔬 @roslininstitute.bsky.social

On Monday, Nobel laureate Prof. Shinya Yamanaka gave the inaugural Sir Ian Wilmut lecture @roslininstitute.bsky.social. Inspiring and gracious with his time, he chatted with students & fellows in two great sessions. It was a real honour to meet Shinya, share our research, and hear his story.

First snowy run of the year 🏃❄️🏔️🐸 #Edinburgh

Tiger or mouse? Patterns of self-organised mesenchymal condensates in embryonic mouse skin where the typically resticted signalling conditions of the developing hair follicle are applied across the entire tissue. #FluorescentFriday #DevBio

Like a developing germ cell in the chick embryo, I am migrating. Looking forward to engaging with the scientific community over here on Bluesky.
