It was a joy to co-organize this meeting. The work presented and discussed at the meeting was exceptional. The experimental methods for quantifying key aspects of germ cell development are getting better — and the time is ripe for proposing and testing mathematical modeling of these processes!
#FlatironCCB's recent ScoRe meeting highlighted quantitative experimental work and mathematical models for germ cell development and for early developmental stages post-fertilization. Thanks to all who joined us! #science #biology
