Prof Fumio Motegi gave a career talk about learnings from failure at the recent BDR-Launchpad event for ECRs. Learning that seasoned researchers cherish both success AND failure was enlightening! Thank you for your time! @RIKEN_BDR @BDR_RIKEN #ECRs #BDRLaunchpad @dev_mechanics

Had the pleasure of hosting @SiekmannLab who visited @LabPhng @BDR_RIKEN en route to #IZFC2024 in Kyoto recently. Take home message from his talk - the importance of veins in making blood vessels! #zebrafish
