Mission

The Publications and Communication Committee (PCC) is charged with supporting and enhancing mechanisms for the SDB to communicate and engage with its members and the broader scientific community and to promote the field of developmental biology. The committee will provide support and advice to meet the needs of the Society and facilitate goals of its leadership. It will help in overseeing and enhancing utilization of the website, social media, a database for content and coordinating engagement of the membership. It will coordinate content creation for SDB, including news stories and materials for the website, newsletters, and liaise with the journal Developmental Biology to help promote its success.
