Come see my exhibition at the Intersect Arts Center! It is bringing me so much joy, I hope it will do the same for you (which I know we all need). #SciArt

Is there an accessible, public statement on this that authors can refer to?
Dear SDB Members, I am writing to clarify how to fully comply with the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy without paying the current $3,910 Article Processing Fee for Open Access for your paper accepted in Developmental Biology. Attached is a diagram showing the process. Once you receive the letter of acceptance for your paper in Developmental Biology, upload the accepted and unformatted version of your manuscript to the NIH Manuscript Submission system, NIHMS (nihms.nih.gov). Select “0 months” for the embargo. Once approved, you will receive a PCMID number for your manuscript. Your manuscript will then be publicly accessible, satisfying the NIH Public Access Policy requirement. If you choose the “Open Access” option, you will pay the $3,910 Article Processing Fee. If you choose the “Subscription” option, you do not pay any fee. Developmental Biology has traditionally not charged authors for any fees as it was subsidized by institutional subscriptions. Royalties from Developmental Biology's institutional subscriptions also support SDB’s programs. SDB encourages you to ask your library to subscribe to Developmental Biology. Save your funds and support the SDB, while also fully complying with the NIH Public Access Policy! Yours truly, Richard Behringer, PhD
Another Society journal doing the right thing! @socdevbio.bsky.social confirms that upon acceptance in @devbiol.bsky.social authors can upload the accepted and unformatted version of your manuscript to the NIH Manuscript Submission system, satisfying NIH and making it available to all
Cover of the journal Nature, featuring the head of a large fish with its mouth open. A smaller fish is swimming into its mouth. The cover reads "Caught in Time: Early fossils shed light on the origins of bony fish."
Osteichthyans--the bony fishes--are by far the most diverse group of living jawed vertebrates. Two papers out today in @nature.com feature remarkable new Chinese fossils that paint a picture of substantial morphological diversity among stem osteichthyans.
Thrilled to share that our preprint has been accepted in Science Advances! Grateful to an incredible team & collaborators.

Looking forward!
In the spirit of fish discourse, vote for the best fish:
a. Jellyfish
b. Starfish
c. Cuttlefish
d. Silverfish
Fuck it, whales are fish.
More soon.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Today is #RareDiseaseDay & we are celebrating by highlighting the invaluable work of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN)! Formed in 2020, it aims to solve the most challenging medical mysteries using advanced technologies. In this thread, we will highlight their use of the #zebrafish model. 1/5 🧪
Happy #RareDiseaseDay! I had fun putting this thread together. It’s just a small morsel of the amazing #zebrafish work done by the Undiagnosed Diseases Network. For a full list of fishy publications from the UDN, see: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov?term=Undiagn... @zdmsociety.bsky.social @izfs.bsky.social

We can't believe how big our Endangered Huon tree kangaroo joey has gotten! When this little guy was born in late July 2025, he was roughly the size of a jellybean. Now, he's exploring outside the pouch and can be found in his Down Under habitat with mom Pearl!
New version of our preprint on bioRxiv about bioRxiv up. Now that’s what I call a revision – 6 years after the first version!
It has new data about our progress and highlights from a massive user survey. 1/n

Saw a few papers recently in CNS injury using transgenic lines to target 'pericytes' in the CNS & broad markers that are not specific, also label fibroblasts - imprecise tools & language = assigning functions in fibrosis to pericytes when other cells like fibroblasts are primarily involved 1/4
