What is the YEN Image Competition about? We love amazing scientific images of development whether it is embryos or organoids, and we want to support PhDs and postdocs by showcasing their work at the YEN conference and online! We will then use an online poll where you can vote on your favourites. The top 10 best images will be displayed at the YEN 2025 Conference! The YEN Committee and a representative from Nikon Instruments will Read more…

Congratulations to Justina Yeung, winner of our YEN2022 Image Competition! Justina wowed us with this beautiful watercolour. She said of her winning image: “This abstract watercolour painting captures various elements of the research in developmental biology: from zebrafish model to cell culture, from in-situ hybridisation to single-cell sequencing, from live-imaging to computational modelling. The dynamic composition of the painting conveys the synergistic efforts of the different strands of research to achieve a greater understanding of Read more…
