Side hustle level-up! My book, IN THE BEGINNING, will be published by @harperonebooks.bsky.social in 2027! It's about the human embryo, how it gets built, and what it means for where we come from and where we're going.

The embryologist Ernst Haeckel is famous for his maxim that “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” and for sketchy imaging. While Haeckel figures prominently in #DevBiol, the Fifth Dalai Lama doesn’t. Perhaps he should, though. He scooped Haeckel by about 200 years.

Recently, thanks to Todd’s book, and articles from the science world and the art world alike, Merian is coming back to prominence. Now #devbiol should claim her as a pioneer, too. It took awhile, but as she once wrote: “Patience is a very beneficial little herb.” 15/15.

As we Stand Up for Science today, let's all stay focused on why we do what we do. My lab does #devbiol because birth defects are the single most lethal and most expensive diseases in American kids. 🧵👇
Birth defects are the #1 cause of death in the first year of life (🧵). Birth defects kill more than twice as many children as cancer. Birth defects are diseases of developmental biology. Here are CDC statistics for 2021. 1/5

A true giant of #DevBiol! For you youngsters who might not know, among her decades of fantastic discoveries was this thing she found in 1981 that she called "Embryonic Stem Cells." I think some people still study them. Thanks to Alex for writing this lovely piece!
