Welcome to the first
installment of SDB e-news
SDB e-news is a new quarterly electronic
newsletter from the Society for Developmental
Biology. It will feature SDB member stories,
pertinent society news, and highlight interesting
tidbits in developmental biology. Our goal is to
keep you informed of emerging issues, provide access
to the numerous opportunities for SDB members, and
offer a community forum for professional
development.
In future issues we hope to include a career
development section geared toward junior members of
the society and science policy news from the
Federation of American Societies for Experimental
Biology (FASEB). If you would like to contribute an
article or story idea for SDB e-news please
contact Marsha Lucas at
[email protected]. We welcome membership
support and feedback!
In addition to SDB e-news, we have recently
launched our SDB
Facebook page. Become a fan of SDB and stay
up-to-date on the latest happenings within the
society.
We hope you find SDB e-news both informative
and engaging. Enjoy!
