Relaxing on the rooftop, an evening picnic with students and instructors

Taking us through axial elongation is David Turner @gastruloids.bsky.social, a great teacher of ES cell handling and formulating protocols for reproducible gastruloid generation. A-P extension, and into the 2nd week.

Superb dual lectures by @amartinezarias.bsky.social
on mouse, human, multispecies, embryology, gastruloids; from bench to birth - discussions on the dynamic nature of the field. Importance of history, context, and remaining lucid while discovering. Much to reflect upon, as we explore.

Isolation of muscle fibres and their stem (satellite) cells. Plate and wait, from quiescence to differentiation - following Shahragim’s lecture on muscle stem cell emergence and diversity. @tajbakhshlab.bsky.social,
@brendan-evano.bsky.social, Barbara Gayraud-Morel. Patience is a virtue.

Laura Cantini & Stephan Fisher lectures guided us through the trials and tribulations of omics - the power and drawbacks of data integration, and how to navigate the minefield. Thanks!

Isolation of small intestine and colon crypts to make organoids with Giulia Nigro, Aline Stedman, Sophie Dulauroy - following a great lecture by Marc Van de Wetering into the history and organoid biology of the gut. Great exercise on how to handle samples with the utmost care.
