@bellecmaelle.bsky.socialA huge thank you to everyone who contributed to making this possible, and to all those who have supported me throughout my postdoc. I’m truly grateful! @jeremyrna.bsky.social @stainierlab.bsky.social @tim-stasevich.bsky.social Muriaux/Favard lab
@bellecmaelle.bsky.socialThank you Stefano :)
@bellecmaelle.bsky.socialThanks Nikhil :)
@bellecmaelle.bsky.socialThanks Jared !
@bellecmaelle.bsky.socialThanks Leo and for all your constant support !
@bellecmaelle.bsky.socialAhahah I have to say that I have gotten quite attached to ZF now 🥹
@zebrafishrock.bsky.socialReposted by @bellecmaelle.bsky.socialStunning movies from @bellecmaelle.bsky.social that capture individual mRNA molecules (magenta) and their nascent translation (cyan) 🐟 (She's on the job market btw!)
@bellecmaelle.bsky.socialThanks Ruben !
@bellecmaelle.bsky.social🤩
@bellecmaelle.bsky.socialThanks for the beautiful post :)

@bellecmaelle.bsky.socialDNA → RNA → protein.
From single mRNAs to an entire developing vertebrate embryo, we can now watch this last step unfold in real time.
Our paper is out today! 🐟🔬
@dev-journal.bsky.socialReposted by @bellecmaelle.bsky.socialThis year's cohort of Pathway to Independence Fellows is visiting the @biologists.bsky.social building today for leadership and management skills training by hfp consulting. It is great for our team to get to meet them in person. Best of luck with this training!

@christlet.bsky.socialReposted by @bellecmaelle.bsky.socialFrom the new info my bet is fluo labeling inference pushed to 11. Hallucinating nonsensical DAPI nuclei, mitochondria stain, membrane labeling from a kind of phase contrast image: wrong localization, wrong scale, wrong movement. Keeping this movie as SWiM winner is a disgrace to the competition
@dev-journal.bsky.socialReposted by @bellecmaelle.bsky.socialAt Development, we #LovePostdocs. For #NPAW2026, we highlight our 2026 cohort of Pathway to Independence fellows. Read about their unique journeys as they work to secure independent positions, their excitement about the latest advances in their fields & the advice they have received along the way.

@sagrill.bsky.socialReposted by @bellecmaelle.bsky.socialIncredibly excited to share my new preprint! 🪰🧬
Ever wondered how germ cells can specify their fate without having a dedicated transcriptional program?
We found that germ cells keep the uncommitted chromatin state of the early embryo
@dev-journal.bsky.socialReposted by @bellecmaelle.bsky.socialPathway to Independence – an interview with Maëlle Bellec
In this interview, Maëlle talks about her work on translation dynamics in development, her hopes for the programme and her career journey from vineyard to microscope.
@science.orgReposted by @bellecmaelle.bsky.socialIncreasing the breadth of researchers trained as reviewers is crucial. In 2024, we began a program that invites reviewers to add trainees as co-reviewers. Nearly 6000 scientists have participated. All our reviewers, past and present, can now get credit on ORCID. #PeerReviewWeek
