Very sad news, John Gurdon has died.
A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner
His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio.
An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers

I wrote something on developmental biology and disability and put it up on the node last night:

I've been nervous to share because some of it veers a bit personal but they are thoughts that won't stay quiet. Would love to know what people think about it!

That @biologists.bsky.social has been extremely influential in my career is not an exaggeration. Most of my fav science is in the Company's journals + I've been constantly & generously supported via conference grants, participation in workshops and a recent fellowship to visit another lab. Thank u 🥰
The next extraordinary biologist is Anahí Binagui-Casas, an early-career researcher involved in the Biologists @ 100 conference and her research focusses on vertebrate development. #100biologists @abinagui.bsky.social.
