AI Article Synopsis
- Developmental biology isn't as popular or well-funded as it used to be, and other science fields are getting more attention instead.
- A group of scientists from different parts of developmental biology met to discuss problems that are slowing down new discoveries and to suggest ways to fix them.
- They want to "rebrand" the field, get more funding, encourage teamwork between different science areas, improve how science is taught, communicate better, and make sure everyone has equal opportunities and resources.
Article Abstract
The field of developmental biology has declined in prominence in recent decades, with off-shoots from the field becoming more fashionable and highly funded. This has created inequity in discovery and opportunity, partly due to the perception that the field is antiquated or not cutting edge. A 'think tank' of scientists from multiple developmental biology-related disciplines came together to define specific challenges in the field that may have inhibited innovation, and to provide tangible solutions to some of the issues facing developmental biology. The community suggestions include a call to the community to help 'rebrand' the field, alongside proposals for additional funding apparatuses, frameworks for interdisciplinary innovative collaborations, pedagogical access, improved science communication, increased diversity and inclusion, and equity of resources to provide maximal impact to the community.
