Contemporary Topics in Developmental Biology

In this discussion, each student will find a unique recent discovery(within last four years) about development biology. Students cannot usethe same discovery as another student. If the discovery has previouslybe posted in this Canvas discussion, it is taken. The student who poststhe discovery will explain how this discovery relates to one of themajor questions in developmental biology. They will provide a link tothe primary source of the discovery, usually a peer-reviewed journalarticle. If available, they will also provide a link to a science newsarticle about the discovery.
