Earlier this year, The Company of Biologists celebrated its 100-year anniversary with the Biologists @ 100 conference in Liverpool – bringing together researchers across a wide range of disciplines. To capture the spirit of the meeting, our three community sites recruited dedicated conference reporters. For the Node, this was Jen Annoh, who set the stage with an excellent beginner’s guide to scientific conferences.
Jen’s interviews
During the Biologists @ 100 conference, Jen spoke with researchers working on a range of different topics. Here we highlight three such conversations, where each researcher tells us more about the work they presented at the conference:
Clare Benson (King’s College London, UK) – exploring how lipids behave in skin cells under mechanical stress, revealing how fat molecules adapt to changes in their environment.
Luke Simpson (University of Nottingham, UK) – investigating early embryogenesis and gastrulation, shedding light on the fundamental processes that shape the embryo.
Matthew Stower (University of Oxford, UK) – studying how the embryo is organised, focusing on how cells find themselves in the right place at the right time.

These snapshots offer a glimpse into the research (and the people!) celebrated at the meeting.
