I’m glad we didn’t have YouTube when I was an undergrad, I might have become a developmental biologist…
To me it looks like the cells1 form an arrow, as if to say “you are here”. But is that the front or back end it’s pointing to?
1 if I get technical here, I’ll end up using long words like “gastrulation” incorrectly, thereby betraying my ignorance.
But is that the front or back end it’s pointing to?
Front end! Forebrain and optic vesicles.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a movie worth? 😉
Depends on the amount of frames in that movie.
And whether it has John Cleese in it.
“It is not birth, marriage, or death, but gastrulation, which is truly the most important time in your life.”
Lewis Wolpert
I might have become a developmental biologist… And would that have been so bad?
@Lee Turnpenny: what a brilliant quote, thanks!
I’m sure I would have enjoyed developmental biology, but I’ll let others decide if that would have been good or bad.
I wonder if there has been much work on mildew developmental genetics.
