This message applies to the accounts of Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms, Biology Open, the Node, preLights and FocalPlane. All those accounts will be redirected to The Company of Biologists’ account. If you decide that the news we post is no longer relevant for you, you can unfollow us at any time. We’re still committed to hosting our own server, set up for and by biologists: https://biologists.social.
biologists.social

Run by The Company of Biologists, this is a space for biologists to discuss science, research, teaching, life, and more. We would like to build a community and support communication between biologists

Mastodon hosted on biologists.social
Over the next weeks, The Company of Biologists will be combining its current nine Mastodon accounts into one single account: https://biologists.social/@Co_Biologists. This company-wide account will bring you news about our journals, community sites, events and charitable activities. If you’re currently following any of our accounts and are happy to keep following us, there is no need for you to do anything – you’ll automatically be transferred over to the company account.

As @the_node celebrates their 15 year anniversary this year, we want to collect feedback from you, our community, to ensure the Node is still relevant and useful.

If you’ve ever visited the Node to read, write or interact with the developmental and stem cell biology community, please spare five minutes to take their survey:
