Online events
This section contains regular seminars, conferences and free online trainings. These resources are only available in English. Registration is required in some cases. Some resources also have videos of past events available. While some of these resources are more related to developmental biology than others, we decided to include all aspects of biology so that you can broaden your horizons while respecting social distancing.

Seminar series organized by @RastegarS1, @Cells_MDPI, @ZFINmod, @Kizil_Lab_DZNE, @zenlabpasteur, @Ciaran_MR, @ZebrafishRock in the field of nervous system development, maintenance and regeneration in different model organisms

Developmental biology webinar series
New webinar series showcasing the latest developmental biology and stem cell research. The webinars are chaired each month by a different Development Editor. First authors are particularly encouraged to present their work with the aim that the series will become a forum for supporting early-career researchers. As well as presentations and live Q&A sessions, you’ll also get the chance to meet the speakers and fellow participants at interactive virtual tables. The webinars will typically occur once a month and will be held in Remo, their browser-based conferencing platform.
