 Developmental Biology is a conduit to understanding
the great diversity of life. We are at an exciting
time where a deep understanding of developmental
mechanisms can strongly inform and extend studies
from evolution to health and disease, from tissue
engineering to regeneration, from cell biology to
quantitative modeling, from systems biology and
epigenetics to elucidation of the impact of
environmental factors.

The Board of Directors of the Society for
Developmental Biology (SDB) and the Editors of its
official journal Developmental Biology are
very concerned about the recently published study
applying CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology to
human embryos (1). SDB supports a voluntary
moratorium by members of the scientific community on
all manipulation of pre-implantation human embryos
by genome editing. Such studies raise deep ethical
concerns on their own, and in addition could lead to
unanticipated
consequences if manipulated embryos were implanted
into a womb and allowed to develop to term.

Congratulations! You have finished your first year
rotations and joined a lab to pursue research on an
exciting topic in developmental biology. Perhaps you
are in the process of doing a literature review for
your thesis. Are you stumped when looking for a
sufficient review in your research area? Are you
working on a topic in which core emerging themes
have yet to be coalesced? Are there historical data
that would shed light on new ideas? As a graduate
student, this might be the perfect opportunity for
you to write that great review article.

 Last
year I attended the 73rd Society for Developmental
Biology Meeting in Seattle, WA thinking that I would
have the chance to meet new people and learn about
cool research in a location that I had never been. I
was a graduate student in Elena Silva Casey’s lab at
Georgetown University studying the role of Sox21 in
regulating neurogenesis during early embryonic
development.

If an SDB member would like to have their
recently published book mentioned in SDB e-news,
please send an email to

In 2011, the Society for Developmental Biology
launched
SDB
Collaborative Resources (SDB CoRe), an online
community for learning and
teaching developmental biology. CoRe provides
short, authoritative, image-driven explanations of
basic concepts in developmental biology. SDB needs
your help in making this a great resource.
Submit your images and movies to SDB CoRe today.
All current SDB members can vote for
President-elect, Secretary, and Representatives for
Canada and Southeast regions. If you are a current
member you should have received an email with a
unique link to the ballot. If you did not, contact
SDB at [email protected]. The election deadline is
June 5, 2015.
