#GfE2026
Fantastic talks and chats at the #GfE2026 #GfESEBDDSDB2026! with @gfeev.bsky.social @sebioldev.bsky.social #DSDB
Thanks to the organizers for giving Newsha Mortazavi a chance to share her cool work. Congrats to @amulyavhejjaji.bsky.social for winning Best Poster Prize. So proud of both students!

‪Congratulations to the one and only Maik Bischoff @maikbischoff.bsky.social on receiving the Hilde Mangold award from the Gesellschaft für Entwicklungsbiologie @gfeev.bsky.social #GfE2026
So well deserved! 👏
We’re very happy and proud to have you with us
@uni-muenster.de and @sfb1348.bsky.social
This prize recognizes his outstanding role as a successful early-career scientist in German developmental biology. In his groundbreaking scientific research, Maik Bischoff contributed to elucidating molecular and cellular mechanisms during collective cell migration of muscle cells in Drosophila.

On my way to Potsdam for some days of the most exciting #devbio. Very much looking forward to #gfe2026!
it’s already … tomorrow?!
Who is heading to #gfe2026 in Potsdam? Looking forward to seeing you all and to discuss your science. #devbio

At #GfE2026, Thomas Bosch from Kiel University (CAU) challenges the host gene-centric view of biology, demonstrating in beautiful work how microbes change #development, #StemCell differentiation, and even #behaviour. Check out doi.org/10.1073/pnas... doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Salim Seyfried opens the @gfeev.bsky.social #GfE2026 meeting highlighting the history and highlights of the @unipotsdam.bsky.social area, including the Studio Babelsberg.
Looking forward to entertaining and thrilling science...

Part of my history. Martin sparked my interest in developmental biology and made me join the @gfeev.bsky.social The fascinating research presented on meetings like #GfE2026 made me stay.

Going to a GfE Meeting like #gfe2026 is like meeting friends & family. On the train with fellow COSians (@COSHeidelberg.bsky.social).
it’s already … tomorrow?!
Who is heading to #gfe2026 in Potsdam? Looking forward to seeing you all and to discuss your science. #devbio

I wrote a meeting report on #GfE2026. It ended up being a bit of an opinion piece, where I talk about my problems with how poster sessions are organised, and some thoughts on the future of research in model organisms.

Hope you enjoy reading it :)
