Young Researchers

Jamie Davies is Professor of Experimental Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh. Spanning the fields of developmental biology, tissue engineering and synthetic biology, his research aims to understand the mechanisms by which cells organise themselves into tissues, focussing on the kidney. In addition to his research, Jamie is involved in science communication and public engagement, having written several books for specialist and non-specialist readers, and having given numerous public lectures and broadcasts. In April 2021, Jamie was awarded the inaugural Wolpert Medal from the British Society for Developmental Biology (BSDB), which is presented to outstanding developmental biologists who have made a significant contribution to teaching and communicating developmental biology in the UK. We spoke to Jamie to ask him about his cross-disciplinary research interests, his thoughts on public engagement and his advice for young researchers.

A new 1-MeV transmission electron microscope (Model JEM-1000) was installed at the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology of the University of Colorado in Boulder during the summer and fall of 1972 under the sponsorship of the Division of Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. The installation was completed in October, 1972. It is installed primarily for the study of biological materials without many of the limitations hitherto unavoidable in standard transmission electron microscopy. Only the technical characteristics of the installation are briefly reviewed here. A more detailed discussion of the experimental program under way is being published elsewhere.

Disaster Narratives

This document is an output from the “Voices After Disaster: narratives and representation following the Kerala floods of August 2018” project supported by the University of East Anglia (UEA)’s GCRF QR funds. The project is carried out by researchers at UEA, the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, and Canalpy, Kerala. In this briefing, we provide an overview of some of the emerging narratives of recovery in Kerala and discuss their significance for post-disaster recovery policy and practice. A key part of the work was a review of reported recovery activities by government and NGOs, as well as accounts and reports of the disaster and subsequent activities in the media and other information sources. This was complemented by fieldwork on the ground in two districts, in which the teams conducted a total of 105 interviews and group discussions with a range of community members and other local stakeholders. We worked in Alleppey district, in the low-lying Kuttanad region, where extreme accumulation of floodwaters had been far in excess of the normal seasonal levels, and in Wayanad district, in the Western Ghats, where there had been a concentration of severe flash floods and landslides.

Dr. Sanjur’s relationship with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute spans three decades.    In 1989, she was a research assistant for two years working on her undergraduate thesis project. After earning a B.S. in Biology from the University of Panama, she completed a PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.  She returned to STRI as a postdoctoral fellow in 1998, studying the relationships between wild and domesticated crops such as squash and pumpkin.    She then spent ten years as manager and researcher of the Molecular Evolution laboratory, after which she took on her most recent role as Associate Director for Science Administration at STRI. In this position, she became responsible for maintaining high standards of scientific operational support for the Institute’s research programs throughout a decade.

This book, an abridged version of the author's Ph.D. thesis at the University of London, appears as the first of a new series of monographs published by the Institute for Research into Mental Retardation. Dr. Cowie studied the development of 79 mongol children through the first 10 months of life by neurological and psychological testing, observation of the pattern of evolution, and dissolution of the early neurological reflexes. Particular attention was given to muscle tone, traction response, Moro reflex, palmar and plantar grasp, tendon reflexes, and placing reaction.

Embryological Analysis

New insights into the origin of the tetrapod limb, and its early development and patterning, are emerging from a variety of fields. A wide diversity of approaches was reported at the BSDB Spring Symposium on `The Evolution of Developmental Mechanisms' (Edinburgh, 1994); here I review the contributions these various approaches have made to understanding the evolutionary developmental biology of the tetrapod limb. The fields covered included palaeontology, descriptive embryology, experimental embryological analysis of interactions within developing limbs plus description and manipulation of homeobox gene expression in early limb buds. Concepts are equally varied, sometimes conflicting, sometimes overlapping. Some concern the limb `archetype' (can the palaeontologists and morphologists still define this with precision? how far is there a limb developmental bauplan?); others are based on identification of epigenetic factors (eg secondary inductions), as generating pattern; while yet others assume a direct gene-morphology relationship. But all the contributors ask the same compelling question: can we explain both the similarity (homology) and variety of tetrapod limbs (and the fins of the Crossopterygians) in terms of developmental mechanisms?
