The Society for
Developmental Biology
74th Annual Meeting in
Snowbird, Utah was a
success. To see

 The recent 74th annual meeting of the Society for
Developmental Biology held in Snowbird, Utah on July
9-13, 2015 was a stimulating experience.
Participants not only learned about important
advances in broad areas of developmental biology but
enjoyed hearing from many new scientists about how
developmental biology also serves as a focal point
for integrating innovations from a diverse array of
other disciplines. Fresh on the heels of this
exciting meeting, planning is already well underway
for the 75th Annual Meeting which will be held in
Boston at the Marriott Copley Place on August 4-8,
2016.

 The
2015 Society for Developmental Biology Edwin G.
Conklin Medal was awarded to Michael Levine of
Princeton University for his extraordinary research
contributions to the field of developmental biology
and training of the next generation of scientists.
Levine’s extensive work uncovering transcriptional
mechanisms in developing fly and sea squirt embryos
has enhanced our understanding of gene regulation
and evolution.

 The
2015 Developmental Biology-Society for
Developmental Biology Lifetime Achievement Award was
presented to Brigid Hogan of Duke University School
of Medicine for her outstanding and sustained
research and mentoring contributions to the field of
developmental biology. Hogan pioneered the
molecular analysis of early mammalian development.

 The
2015 Society for Developmental Biology Viktor
Hamburger Outstanding Educator Prize was presented
to Kathryn Tosney of the University of Miami for her
outstanding contributions to developmental biology
education. Tosney, best known for her
generously donated scanning electron micrographs of
chick neurulation which have been published in
hundreds of biology textbooks and reviews, is a
pioneer of experiential learning.

The developmental biology community mourns the loss of one of its
pioneers, Eric H. Davidson, on September 1, 2015.
Davidson, the Norman Chandler Professor of Cell
Biology at Caltech, was a leader in gene regulatory
networks working
primarily in the sea
urchin. He
received the
Developmental Biology-SDB
Lifetime Achievement
Award in 2007.

As mentioned in SDB President Robb Krumlauf's
message, the SDB Board of Directors approved two
years of bridge funding for the
Choose Development! summer research
program which aims to increase the diversity of
undergraduate students that enter graduate programs
in pursuit of research careers in developmental
biology.
