CCRB paper alert!

A great way to end the week with some evo devo! A one day meeting hosted by @qmul.bsky.social #UKEvoDevo @biologists.bsky.social @chemamd.bsky.social

As the sun sets over beautiful bustling Liverpool we reflect back on the great week we've had at the #biologists100 and how we were in truly great company with @biologists.bsky.social #liverpool #scouse #development #experimentalbiology #cellbiology

Topping off a fantastic #biologists100 conference with a stimulating panel discussion @biologists.bsky.social

Last night's #biologists100 gala dinner was trés fancy! @biologists.bsky.social you clean up nicely 💅💃 #stgeorgeshall #liverpool #galadinner
